Speaker Mike Johnson Is a Delusional Hypocrite. Duh.

Republicans keep showing that hypocrisy in pursuit of power is a virtue not a vice. Only this explains Johnson’s brazen flip flops.

Speaker Mike Johnson is flip-flopping on everything from single-party impeachment to FISA surveillance. And the liberal media are having a field day lampooning the self-righteous way he expresses his hypocrisy. 

It’s enough to make the Almighty God think Johnson is a delusional psychopath.

Congressional Republicans are as animated by mutiny nowadays as they are by hypocrisy. Given this, he probably won’t be Speaker in six months. That’s why I’m going to limit this commentary to the following points, in no particular order:

  • Electing Johnson speaker and expecting legislative order is like reelecting Trump president and expecting democratic norms.
  • Johnson personifies the worst kind of evil: a person who looks so good he’s incapable of evil. Even the metaphor of a wolf in sheep’s clothing doesn’t fully capture the danger he represents.
  • He says the Founding Fathers did not intend there to be a separation between church and state. His justification? The Bible tells him so. Think of the theocratic menace believing that portends. Mind you, one of the most famous Bible verses instructs Christians to render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s and to God the things that are God’s. But that gospel verse does not comport with Johnson’s Christian narrative.
  • Hypocrisy is evangelical Christians like Johnson doing the bidding of a mammon like Trump in the name of God. 
  • You might think Johnson is naïve. But this SOB believes in Adam and Eve with as much certainty as you believe in death and taxes.
  • Like every other evangelical, Johnson is a lost soul crusading to further Trump’s diabolical ambitions. He was “the architect” of Trump’s congressional efforts to overturn Biden’s 2020 presidential election. But, like the lawyers who spearheaded Trump’s legal efforts, Johnson’s career will soon become as lost as his soul.
  • The issue is not that Johnson is a Bible-believing Christian. It’s that Johnson is a Bible-thumping, scripture-quoting religious zealot who thinks God ordained him to become Speaker – to do Trump’s bidding. What could go wrong? God help us!
