Well, We Have a Speaker. He’s an Election Denier and an Extreme Christian Fundamentalist.

Meet Mike Johnson, Republicans’ new House speaker.
an Election Denier and an Extreme Christian Fundamentalist.
Wow, that's like their entire base, all wrapped up in one person.
Fascism will come to this country, not by force, but wrapped in the flag and holding a bible.
What a coincidence!
They were refusing to vote for Jim Jordan because he is an election denier and they ended up voting in an election denier with all the fascist trimmings!
Sounds like a pretty solid pick for the speaker when you put it that way. It's exactly what the Republican party embodies now.
Just gonna say it, he’s basically a Nazi. Is that accurate?
He has a Christian fundamentalist podcast with his wife. Yea. I'd say so.
The (R) is a hint. No one sincerely concerned with the wellbeing of the nation would be willing to have that next to their name in this day and age.
Seems accurate
Totally accurate. He has murdered Jews by the millions and invaded other nations without cause.
I mean, America has litteraly killed millions of Muslims in the middle east and invaded Iraq without any actual evidence of WMD's.
Say what you will, but American politicans of various leanings have more or less supported mass slaughter of civilians because their brown and they won't face any serious consequences for those actions.
People get butthurt about the constant use of the word " Nazi " but replace the word " Jew " with " Muslims " in the current American media sphere and you can see how the similarity between those advocating for the " final solution " don't sound all that diffrent then this lot really.
"It's not possible you studied the same subject I did, we didn't even go to the same school!"
For anyone reading this and legitimately wondering if it's fair to call a person like this a Nazi, I say this:
The Nazi party was first a political party in Germany. It operated for years before Germany invaded Poland, before they implemented Hitler's genocidal plans. It gained popularity on the same kind of rhetoric the Republican party is using now: claimed victimization of the majority, and blaming societal problems on unrelated minorities.
German people had legitimate grievances about their lives, and the Nazi party capitalized on that by blaming Jews, gay people, the disabled, and others.
When people say that Republicans like this guy are Nazis, they're not comparing them to WW2-era Nazis. They're comparing them to the Nazis that led to WW2, because they are extremely comparable.
Don't be misled by "gotcha" comments like this one.
This is who they were holding out for? Even the ones that wouldn't vote for Gym Jordan voted for this guy? Fuckin hell.
GOP "moderates" caved again. They never fail to fall in line, eventually. They were desperate to end the embarrassing failed speaker votes, easily worn down and "fooled" (gasp!) by an unknown candidate. Only the people who voted these clowns into the House are more disappointing.
I'm calling it, next election if Biden wins he'll actually try to stop the vote from going through. He can't actually stop it, but he'll 100% make some sort of speech about how the country is ruined.
AKA a republican. I'd be surprised if he were anything else.
Even McCarthy voted for him because this was the plan all along. I guess 1930s Germany is too far in the past to remember.
Well...
I am sure this will lead to a very productive legislature session.
Ah great, a raging homophobe that has been part of multiple hate groups. This is a good outlook for the future!
Well he's got the politician frump face down.
"Welp, I tried to accomplish something, but I blame my colleagues across the aisle. I'm a good politician, now pay me your tax money while I listen to my actual lobbyist constituents."
What the Republican Party has become is truly amazing.
Bet he has a cp dungeon...
Does he look exactly like Julia Louis-Dreyfus to anybody else, or is it just me?
My God, Selina Meyer will stop at nothing
Democrats: That'll teach 'em.
