After three chaotic and embarrassing weeks for the Republican Party, Rep. Mike Johnson (LA-04) was finally elected as the latest speaker of the House. He's being painted as a middle-of-the-road workhorse who just wants to see House business get back to normal.
That portrayal is dead wrong.
The truth is, Johnson is an anti-abortion extremist. He said he had been “anxiously awaiting” a full frontal assault to the law of legalized abortion in our country. He has spent his political career trying to rip away reproductive freedom
by any means necessary.
And after Roe v. Wade fell, he tweeted this message: “Perform an abortion and get imprisoned at hard labor for 1-10 yrs & fined $10K-$100K.” Take a look:
Maria Cantwell and EMILYs List are hard at work this cycle to protect our Senate majority.
And with anti-choice extremist Republicans hell-bent on destroying reproductive freedom, our mission has never been more important.
