NY Magizine give’s 15 things in the Louisiana Republican’s portfolio…..
He masterminded Trump’s election coup.
If you’ve learned one unsavory fact about Johnson in recent days, it’s probably that he was a key architect of Trump’s effort to steal the 2020 election. As New York’s Jonathan Chait explained, Johnson’s work on this front is actually the “primary source of his leadership claim and the central reason he has managed to unify the party.” After publicly flirting with Trump’s voting-machine conspiracy theories, Johnson honed in on the idea that the widespread use of mail ballots during the pandemic gave the House GOP an opportunity to make Trump president….
He’s the least-experienced House Speaker in 140 years.
After a short stint in the Louisiana state legislature, Johnson was elected to the U.S. House in 2016. He is in only his fourth term and has never served in a senior leadership position or even as a full committee chair prior to his election as Speaker, according to Politico. That makes him the least-experienced person elected to the top position since John G. Carlisle in 1883….
He wants to ban abortion nationwide.
Johnson has an A+ rating from the anti-abortion group Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America. He has voted for a federal abortion ban and pushed legislation that would outlaw abortion nationwide. The New Republicreports:
He blamed abortion for school shootings.
Johnson made this bizarre argument during an interview with New York’s Irin Carmon in 2015 when he was still working for the ADF.
“Many women use abortion as a form of birth control, you know, in certain segments of society, and it’s just shocking and sad, but this is where we are,” he said. “When you break up the nuclear family, when you tell a generation of people that life has no value, no meaning, that it’s expendable, then you do wind up with school shooters.”
He also blamed abortion for Social Security and Medicare cuts.
While serving as chair of the Republican Study Committee from 2019 to 2021, Johnson proposed trillions of dollars in cuts to Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. He said these cuts wouldn’t be necessary if forced birth were the law of the land.
He fought to ban same-sex marriage in Louisiana.
While serving as senior counsel for the ADF, Johnson went before the Louisiana Supreme Court in 2004 and 2014 to defend a statewide ban on gay marriage. ABC News reports that around the same time, Johnson also “filed suit against a New Orleans law that provided benefits to same-sex partners of city employees.” A state appellate court upheld the benefits.
While advocating against the New Orleans law, Johnson argued that the path from supporting gay rights to allowing pedophilia is a slippery slope….
Mike Johnson blamed feminism for school shootings in 2017. Anything but the guns I guess..
Americans LOVE they Guns!…..
ANY excuse to keep them…..
Any excuse to repeat your mantra eh?
Of course Scott’s post had nothing to do with your obsession that everyone loves Guns and no one wants to at least institute some common sense gun regulations ( polls consistently show this) .Of course those polls don’t make it here because they don’t play into your obsession.
Scott’s post was about this Koo Koo Republican Speaker of the House.
In addition to blaming feminism,the Koo Koo also blames “ no fault divorces.”I bet all those people who have gotten divorced had no idea they were contributing to these mass murders!
This character is supposed to be a “ nice guy.” Maybe he is but his ideas are not even at the fringe .They are totally over the cliff.
Now back to you James ,get your mantra going!
My matra is “America LOVES Guns’….
NOT EVERYONE….
The angush and anger about this targeted shooting will fads away in two weeks….
News coverage will only INCREASE gun sales in NH….
Both Senator’s there did a quick unturn on gun control when cornered by the media….
Jack?
You can say whatever you want….
America HAS a gun culture….
For most of the country thanks to the Supreme’s?
It ain’t going away….
It’s the law of the land.….
As stated Scott’s post had nothing to do with the gun issue.It was about the new Speaker and his blaming feminism for the gun tragedies.
It was you who just couldn’t resist turning it in to your obsession…
No comment on that.Instead you took it as an opportunity to practice your obsession and your pithy little phrase.
As I pointed out,polls consistently show that most Americans support reasonable gun regulations.You won’t read that here though because it doesn’t conform to the moderators little obsession of shouting “ Americans love their guns!”
The NRA could have no better “ useful idiot “ than the likes of you.
How bout it Seymour? You gonna offer “ prayers” to the dead people at the next tragedy.Hey, maybe you can add that to the “ Americans love their guns” routine.
All of this? Very Republican of you!
I wish to make it plain that I do not support banning guns.
I do though favor reasonable regulations as to the possession and use of the same.
Reasonable people should be able to come together To accomplish this.
Far better to at least attempt to do something constructive rather than such foolishness as blaming our horrible gun tragedies on feminism or divorce,offering syrupy “ prayers” for those murdered or washing ones hands of the whole matter with useless sloganeering ( “ Americans Love Their Guns”)
Good clarification Jack…..
The Supreme’s left some wiggle room on rules by states….
Red and rural states look at things far different than Blue states
But I stand by the slogan….
I wonder how Trump feels about his House Speaker?
As a divorced man,he is responsible for these mass murders according to MAGA Mike,
Well?
Johnson’s ‘Main Man’ has been married how many times?
Has paid of women he sexually abused…..
Has told fellow party members they are going at abortion wrong
His sided against the Jews
And probably hasn’t seen the inside of a church since the 2020 protests……
Hmmmm?
