House Speaker Mike Johnson describes himself as a ChristianĀ before anything else. He hasĀ saidĀ his āfaith informs everything I do.ā He hasĀ toldĀ people curious about his views to āpick up a Bible.ā His wifeĀ reportedlyĀ runs a counseling service whose operating agreement, which he himself notarized,Ā states, āWe believe and the Bible teaches that any form of sexual immorality, such as adulteryā¦is sinful and offensive to God.āĀ He hasĀ saidĀ he and his son use a software program called Covenant Eyes to ensure neither is looking at porn.
Given all this, you may think that Johnson would not be comfortable showing up to a criminal trial to defend a guy who allegedly had an affair with an adult film star (according to the adult film star anyway, though Trump denies it), paid her to stay quiet about the alleged affair, and then was accused of covering up said payment. But you would think wrong!
On Tuesday, Johnson attendedĀ Donald Trumpās hush money trial in Manhattan, whereāprior to the proceedings getting underwayāthe congressional leader nodded approvingly at Trump from behind a metal barrier, like a groupie at his favorite bandās concert.
He is a grifter. He is not truly devout, he doesnāt follow the Bible despite claiming that he does.
My first thought when looking at the headline was, āDevout should be in quotation marks.ā
He is a devout Christian. People should stop mistaking ādevoutā for āpiousā, and āCristianā for āhumaneā.
I believe heās a devout Christo-fascist. I think only a special kind of devout Christian could come up with the porn accountability scheme with his son. Heās a ālying for the lordā kind of person.
