Don't forget, as charismatic as this man comes off, he was working hard to help overturn different states results in the 2020 election

Thoughts and prayers for the constitution.

what happened to separation of church and state

Please vote Blue to protect our democracy.

Election denier as speaker, my goodness, things had really gone bad.

[ckraatz]

Mike Johnson confirmed traitor you mean.

[c.m.]

Look how they cheer and celebrate and how proud they are.
The GOP essentially managed to do the equivalent of writing your name on the answer sheet during an exam, and now are really pleased with themselves for having taken this huge hurdle!
What a joke of a „political party“.

Don't worry, folks, if you don't like the Republican Speaker of the House, wait 5 minutes.

[Bonjour-World]

Trump and Putin both approve of Mike Johnson ... terrible news for the people of The United States of America.

He's speaking directly to the CHRISTIAN NATIONALISTS

Election denier, climate change denier, abortion-ban supporter, gun rights absolutist, anti-gay marriage advocate is now two heart beats from the Presidency. Let that sink in.

[boorockomamba]

Leave it to the G0P to give the job to the most unqualified person in the history of the House.

[gamesnstuff]

If someone isn't willing to raise taxes on the wealthy they aren't serious about dealing with our national debt. There isn't a one size fits all solution, since there isn't that much discretionary spending that can be cut unless you want to gut the military. Republicans don't understand the math that is facing us with our debt issue. I agree we should be working on a solution, but I'm over their "Free market" and "Cut Spending" rhetoric that sounds good, but doesn't really address the issue in any substantial way.

[anttikalpio]

He seems to believe blindly in 2000 year old stories but not in democratic elections

[poorboyjim]

Ironic that he calls out the enemies of freedom when he's one of them.

[grobble]

Being an election denier was the first criteria to have a chance to win.

[maureentbergeron]

He's not a "new face." He's a formerly HIDDEN face. Now that the spotlight is shining on him, maybe more people will be able to see more clearly just how extreme and anti-democracy the GOP has truly become and vote them out next year. It's going to be a long year until then, though. 😢😢😢

[thebluearrow]

This has all the hallmarks of an impending disaster of unfathomable proportions.

[TheOneAndOnlyFoFo]

Wow, an election denier as house speaker
