Republicans have at long last elected a House speaker: Representative Mike Johnson, a fundamentalist Christian who was also once called a key āarchitectā in Congressās efforts to overthrow the 2020 election.
Johnson finally secured the speakerās gavel after Republican infighting left the House without a speaker for 22 days. He secured 220 votes.
Johnson is a four-term congressman representing Louisiana. His win also represents the rise of the MAGA front in the Republican Party. Earlier Wednesday morning, Donald Trump endorsed Johnson as House speakerāafter quickly killing Mike Emmerās nomination the day before.
Iām pessimistic on this. Johnson isnāt going to be removed from the Speakership, when Johnson is sucking on Trumpās dick.
I hope that the Democrats hit every swing district saying that their Republican member voted for this shit bag and they lacked āpatriotismā to stand up to Trump.
Are you saying this fella could very well open a multi-billion dollar conglomerate and operate under the name Johnson in Johnson?
I would love to see that.
idk, sounds a little too overtly gay for Republicans
Iām pretty sure that they will find some way to hand wave it away. I mean Republicans are great at being hypocrites.
