Meet Mike Johnson, Republicans’ new House speaker.

Republicans have at long last elected a House speaker: Representative Mike Johnson, a fundamentalist Christian who was also once called a key “architect” in Congress’s efforts to overthrow the 2020 election.

Johnson finally secured the speaker’s gavel after Republican infighting left the House without a speaker for 22 days. He secured 220 votes.

Johnson is a four-term congressman representing Louisiana. His win also represents the rise of the MAGA front in the Republican Party. Earlier Wednesday morning, Donald Trump endorsed Johnson as House speaker—after quickly killing Mike Emmer’s nomination the day before.

    Makes you wonder what their problem with Gym Jorden was. Must be behind on his cock sucking duties.

      Seriously. This is like how when Donald Trump was able to turn a war criminal into a kitty painting artiste that the country now has nostalgia for. It’s absolutely insane that now Gym looks good on oaper.

      Their problem with Jordan is probably that he’s a loudmouth asshole who tried to bully anyone who didn’t agree with him

      This guy has the same/worse views, but hasn’t threatened anyone

        Last time I checked they get a hard on for loudmouth bullies.

          For bulling other people - but when the threats are focused on them “it’s unbecoming of a representative.”
