Yes, despite his mild-mannered, genteel appearance, new House Speaker Mike Johnson is one of the crazies. If the straitjacket doesn’t rein in this newly empowered fringe extremist, it is the freedoms of everyday Americans that will be in the straitjacket.
The only difference between Mike Johnson and the cabal of Matt “Venmo” Gaetz, Gym “look the other way” Jordan, Lauren “grab ’em by the Beetlejuice” Boebert and Marjorie “I cheated on my husband with my trainer” Taylor Green is that Johnson is a more buttoned-down, low-key Trojan Horse.
On actual policies, he is as bad or worse than any of the others, but he promotes his extremist views with a smile, a soft voice and a quiet demeanor. In reality, Speaker Mike Johnson…
• …was not only an election denier, he was among the most aggressive architects in the plot to overthrow the full, free and fair election of Joe Biden, which we now know from the testimony of some of Trump’s closest insider advisors, that all of them, and Trump himself, knew to be the case.
• …is trying to enact a nationwide total ban on women’s reproductive choice.
• …preaches the lie that vaccinations don’t work and that covid was a hoax, peddling vicious lies that have resulted in hundreds of thousands of needless deaths (so much for “pro-life”)
• …says that Social Security is a “Ponzi scheme” and was to undermine Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid in ways that hurt middle class people but allow more corporate profits
• …says that easy access to battlefield weapons of war is not what is causing the current and worsening epidemic of firearm carnage, but the “human heart.” He does not explain why he thinks American hearts are so much more evil than the hearts of those in other industrialized countries.
