    We can expect MAGA Mike to ban women from talking because he believes they don’t belong outside of the kitchen.

      Exposing your ankles on the House floor like a hussy? That’s a censuring.” - Mike Johnson

      He will ban it because he’s a Christofascist who interprets the Bible literally.

      Mike Johnson: “Go pick up a Bible off your shelf and read it - that’s my worldview. That’s what I believe and so I make no apologies for it.”

      The Bible, 1 Timothy 2:12: But I do not allow a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man, but to remain quiet.

          The Bible is terrible fully in context. People pretend that the context explains all the stupid and abusive stuff because it feels nice to avoid arguments with well-meaning religious people. There isn’t context that fixes that Timothy quote, there are evolutions and rationalizations to try to sand off the rough edges so the religious institutions can keep trundling along while secular morality rightfully moves beyond it.
