John,
After three weeks and four votes, there is a new Speaker of the House, with Republicans fully embracing extreme MAGA darling Mike Johnson of Louisana.
Who is Mike Johnson? It’s a question even many House Republicans are asking themselves. Here’s what you need to know:
*
Mike
Johnson
played
a
leading
role
in
congressional
efforts
to
overturn
the
2020
election
.
*
He
is
the
co-sponsor
of
national
abortion
ban
legislation.
*
Johnson
supports
slashing
Social
Security
and
Medicare
.
*
He
introduced
legislation
last
year
that
mirror’s
Florida’s
“Don’t
Say
Gay”
law
banning
education
of
LGBTQ+
topics.
*
Johnson
considers
Jim
Jordan
a
“mentor.”
Mike Johnson is the first MAGA Speaker of the House . Don’t take our word for it, just read this direct quote from Rep. Matt Gaetz:
“If you don’t think that moving from Kevin McCarthy to MAGA Mike Johnson shows the ascendance of this movement and where the power in the Republican Party truly lies, then you’re not paying attention.”
Let us thank our honorable members of Congress - John Larson, Joe Courtney, Rosa DeLauro, Jim Himes, and Jahana Hayes - for voting against putting an extremist in this position of power.
Now it’s on us to step up to do everything we can to defeat the MAGA movement that has taken over the Republican Party. That starts here at home by ensuring that all our Congressional districts remain blue.
Stand with your Connecticut Democrats by chipping in what you can right now to show our united front against MAGA extremism at home and in Washington. [[link removed]]
