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.
All Christians are hypocrites, itās simply not possible to follow the letter of the Bible because itās self contradictory, so the only way to be Christian is to be a hypocrite.
But even among religious/Christian hypocrites, Mike Johnson is a particularly bad one. So bad itās borderline insanity.
