Step forward Mr James Michael Johnson, lawyer and politician, Speaker of the United States’ House of Representatives. A deeply evangelical Christian, he is known for his opposition to legal abortion and gay rights and not always endearing himself to members of his own party. Fellow Republican John Delgado has called him ‘a despicable bigot of the highest order’ and Megan McCain described him as ‘a raging homophobe’.
Like most politicians he changes his mind as often as it suits him. He once wrote ‘Donald Trump lacks the moral center we desperately need again in the White House. I am afraid he would break more things than he fixes. He is a hothead by nature and that is a dangerous trait in a Commander In Chief. I just don’t think he has the demeanor to be president’.
Amazingly he is now supporting Trump’s 2024 campaign and has even criticized Trump’s conviction in the hush money trial, stating that the Supreme Court ‘should step in and set this straight’. Would it surprise anyone if the corrupt bastards did? When the House expelled Republican congressman and serial liar George Santos, Johnson voted against the expulsion and afterwards called it ‘a regrettable day’.
He has been quoted as saying that if people want to understand anything he does then they should read the bible, which makes him not only a nut case but a hypocrite as well. Back in October Joe Biden asked congress for $61 billion in aid for Ukraine, a move backed by most Americans. Johnson’s job is to move legislation through the house but, worried that Moscow Marjorie was threatening to file a resolution to remove him as speaker, he resisted and delayed. He finally allowed a vote to take place in April, only after travelling to Mar-A-Lago to beg permission from his lord and master.,
As a ‘man of God’, what would he consider to be more important – releasing defence systems to be sent to save lives in Ukraine or ensuring that he remains sat at the front in congress holding the gavel? How many civilian lives were lost during those six months as the Russians shelled Ukrainian cities? Did he spend those six months wrestling with his conscience as he imagined the explosions, the fires, the falling masonry and the maimed victims choking on dust? No doubt his bible provided him with comfort during this difficult time.
