Click here for an excellent article by Matt Lavietas at NBC News describing the new Republican Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson. It's entitled "'Raging homophobe': New House speaker's views on LGBTQ issues under fresh scrutiny.
And click here for another article along the same lines, by David Rothkopf at the Daily Beast, entitled "Here's Why Mike Johnson Is More Dangerous Than Donald Trump," subtitled "The former president only cares about himself. The new Speaker of the House actually wants to make America a Christian theocracy."
The most dangerous movement in American politics today is not Trumpism. It is Christofascism. With the election of Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA) as Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, the organized effort to impose the extreme religious views of a minority of Americans on the entire country, at the expense of many of our most basic freedoms, took a disturbing step forward.
Despite Speaker Johnson’s claims of being a constitutional “originalist,” via his elevation by a unanimous vote of his Republican colleagues he has moved America closer to having precisely the kind of government America’s founders most feared.
