With George Santos<\/strong>\u2019s expulsion drama<\/a> taking up all the attention in Congress this week, you might have forgotten that the new leader of the House, Mike Johnson,<\/strong> has a history of deeply<\/a> homophobic<\/a> remarks that have come out on a near-daily basis since he was elected, as well as equally shitty takes on things like abortion<\/a>, mass<\/a> shootings<\/a>, and democracy<\/a>. But he does! And on a whole bunch of other stuff as well.<\/p>\n CNN\u2019s KFile reports<\/a> that Johnson wrote the foreward for and then promoted a 2022 book written by Scott McKay<\/strong>\u00a0called The Revivalist Manifesto,<\/em> which:<\/p>\n In the foreward, Johnson writes: \u201cScott McKay presents a valuable and timely contribution with The Revivalist Manifesto<\/em> because he has managed here to articulate well what millions of conscientious, freedom-loving Americans are sensing.\u201d The congressman, per CNN, also actively promoted the book on his public social media platforms and even interviewed McCay in an episode of the podcast that he cohosts with his wife . During the episode, Johnson said, \u201cI obviously believe in the product, or I wouldn\u2019t have written the foreword. So I endorse the work.\u201d Again, all of this happened last year.<\/em><\/p>\n After CNN\u2019s story was published, a spokesman for the Speaker told the outlet that Johnson had never read the passages CNN highlighted, and that he \u201cstrongly disagrees\u201d with them. McKay called the article a \u201chit piece.\u201d<\/p>\n In Fox News\u2019<\/strong> alternate reality<\/strong><\/a>, DeSantis beat Newsom last night<\/strong><\/p>\n This content can also be viewed on the site it originates<\/a> from.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
