Mike Johnson's ties to Christian nationalism revealed
The new House Speaker is being criticized for his previous ties to an anti-LGBTQ religious group.
Pretty sure the "R" next to his name was enough to tie him to Christian nationalism.
Came here to say this. I have assumed for at least the last 20 years that any Republican politician is a christian nationalist, and though I don't have specific figures, I think I've probably been correct 99% of the time.
That 1% is just due to caution -- I don't have anyone in mind.
There's that whole "the family" thing.
They approach young first term republicans in DC, and shower them with attention and bribes/donations. To play ball, you almost have to deal with them. Because everyone else in your party already did, you'll never get preference over another member.
Revealed implies it was hidden lol
Seriously, the Christian Nationalism was a selling point for him and the party that elected him Speaker.
the Republican previously worked as an attorney for the [Alliance Defending Freedom, formerly Alliance Defense Fund or ADF], a Christian advocacy group Posner described as having ambitions to "eviscerate the separation of church and state."
Fuck this dude. The ADF is a horrible organization.
They're pure evil and must be destroyed
In 99% of cases, I'd push back against characterizing people and groups of them as evil...but the ADF is among the exceptions for many reason.
Christian nationalismNationalist Christian. Nat-C.Christian Nazi --> Crazi
Took me a second.
who the hell thought it was a good idea to have the speaker role not just be a neutral person who manages debates procedures in the house?
So I’m watching a movie with Lauren Boebert and all she wants is Mike Johnson
Does she want to take him to a musical?
She wants to bang his gavel…
… the musical is just to set the mood,
No beetle, only juice.
Political Islam and Christianity, what could go wrong
We really are repeating the last century aren't we. Instead of jews it'll be gays and marijuana users. Canada sounds like a nice place.
Cadet bonespurs will be whining to oust this guy soon, before he steals the cult.
"Before arriving in Washington less than a decade ago, House Speaker Mike Johnson, a deeply religious Christian, was a legal crusader associated with a fringe evangelical movement called ‘young Earth creationism,’ based on a literal reading of the Bible’s Book of Genesis that posits the Earth is only several thousand years old,” the HuffPost reports.
