Mike Johnson Was Selected by all 220 Fake Republicans Based on Nothing but Desperation

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart

 

Republicans have selected a man as unpopular as Kevin McCarthy, Steve Scalise, and Jim Jordan as their Speaker of the House. He is the 56th Speaker, and most unqualified in history, not the 45th, as indicated when Steve Scalise introduced him. The 45th Speaker of the House was Samuel J. Randall. Scalise must have skipped both history and civics classes.

The only things we know about Mike Johnson is that he is a member of the right-wing extremist group, the Freedom Caucus, who attempted to overturn the 2020 election. He denies the validity of the Constitution, claiming that only Christians deserve protection and respect under the law. The Congressman from Louisiana is a well-known racist and bigot, denying equality to non-Christians, the LGBTQ community, and equal protection under the law for women. Putting it simply, he is one of 46 members of the House who hate the America of our Founding Fathers, and of course he is a climate change denier.

If this is the best the right-wing has to offer, our nation has but a single viable party in Washington. If Johnson is the best fake-Republicans have to offer, our nation cannot be saved. If he is the best the once Grand Old Party has to offer, all hope is lost and common sense has left the building, forever.

We know what he is not: an American.
