I grew up among the evangelicals. If they ever get their way unopposed, they’ll eliminate everything that doesn’t directly glorify JAIZUS… music, shows, sports, books… they will cancel the culture completely

[franceswilson]

Everything he spoke to is personal, has little to nothing to do with WE THE PEOPLE!

[LouiePGallo]

They didn't "fail" to vett him. He passed their vetting with flying colors!!!!

[davidzachmeyer]

All that bad stuff is WHY they picked him, they know exactly who he is.

[merckxbelgium]

Time to remove these "christian" zealots from the government.

[Rob-je]

Everything he said is true. Good for him for standing up for Godly values!!!

[Merrikatt]

I have to laugh that Johnson stands so firm on these topics of sensual sin and abortion but doesn't have any condemnation for an unrepentant adulterer who had an affair with a pornstar. What a mockery to Christianity.

[joeblankenship]

I'm a Christian and a Democrat. I wish they'd get that religious crap outta my government! Christians are supposed to live by example, not legislate others into submitting to their personal beliefs.

[sheilalamb]

This is not America..folks need to be able to decide what they want, and not a dictator telling them their own view or how to live..vote for your freedom folks..

Planned Parenthood sets up clinics in cities because low income families living there have few health care choices available. Planned Parenthood does not need to set up a clinic in the Hamptons or Beverly Hills, there are already lots of health care choices there. They go where the need is most extreme and can help people with no other choices. This includes pregnancy information, contraceptive services, STI testing, and other health services and referrals, including breast and cervical cancer screenings in some locations.

[cherylbarrett]

Planned Parenthood opens offices in cities, because the provide many, many services to low income women. My sister and I both used their services to get PAP smears and birth control pills before our incomes climbed. We both were married to pastors, by the way, and neither of them had any problems with it. They were the ones who diagnosed my problems with cholesterol in my 20s. As my career took off, I referred interns who needed healthcare to them, and they were relieved to find affordable healthcare. None of that had anything to do with abortion.

WE THE PEOPLE LOVE YOU MIKE, NO MATTER HOW JEALOUS THE LYING MEDIAS ARE ❤🇺🇸

[smilesandyoka]

"man is inherently evil" --- is he talking about Trump? Then I DOOO agree!!!

[lindazanihkowsky]

Mike Johnson go back under the rock you crawled out from. 😡

[tmoyckt]

This just reminds me how much i loathe Uncle Thomas. He needs to be shown the door... thirty years ago.

[jamesburge]

The GOP did not fail to vet Johnson, these are the reasons he was elected to the post.

[hisomeonetrackingmuch]

The GOP did not fail to vet him. This is what the GOP is

[normlang]

Originalist...what an absurd position. The framers expected the Constitution to evolve. They didn't carve it into a couple of stone tablets.

[Abmotsad]

Republicans really do favor small government. Small enough to fit in your bedroom!

[ReformedRepublican]

Originalists? Those guys are really old now, and they need to lecture this man on LEGAL Separation of Church and State. For example if we had a Muslim Speaker who uses the same arguments as Speaker Johnson, he would be fainting fron shock just before he shouts Freedom of Religion, l forgot about that part!!!!
