This is bad, right? After three weeks of paralysis in the House, an exhausted GOP lined up behind a smiling, mild-mannered, Christo-nationalist Trump acolyte, Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA). The new Speaker is an election denier who helped architect efforts in Congress to overturn the 2020 election and is squarely aligned with the far-right extremists in the House.
“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,” said Rep. Matt Gaetz (F-FL).
It really doesn’t seem like the Republicans are paying attention to the threat coming from inside their own house.
