John, across the country, people are looking at the latest
headlines coming out of Washington and asking one question: "Wait -- who’s
Mike Johnson?"
It took over three weeks of wrangling, but House Republicans have finally
landed on him as their new Speaker. Here are a few things to know about
his extreme MAGA record:
* He didn’t just vote against certifying the 2020 presidential election
results -- he helped lead the charge. The New York Times called him
"the most important architect of the Electoral College objections."
* Donald Trump says he’ll be a "fantastic" Speaker (see the point
above).
* He voted against establishing the bipartisan January 6 Commission.
* He’s a staunch anti-abortion rights extremist who’s supported
nationwide bans. After Roe fell, he tweeted this message for abortion
providers in Louisiana: "Perform an abortion and get imprisoned at
hard labor for 1-10 yrs & fined $10K-$100K."
* He led a group of far-right House Republicans that regularly calls for
cutting Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.
* He introduced a national “Don’t Say Gay” bill to block federally
funded institutions -- including public schools -- from discussing
sexual orientation and gender identity with students under 10 years
old.
It’s clear: MAGA Republicans have rallied around Mike Johnson because he
is a threat to our democracy and a threat to our freedoms.
I’m fighting to stop their dangerous agenda, protect our freedoms, and
pass policies that put our government on the side of working families.
That means passing national abortion protections. That means strengthening
our democracy and protecting voting rights. That means defending LGBTQ+
rights.
But if Republicans gain any more power, and they’re fighting for it,
they’d have more free reign to pass their extremist agenda and block
progress on the plans this movement is fighting for.
