Republicans Choose Election-Denying LGBTQ-Hating Psycho as House Speaker
Channel: The Humanist Report
Date: 2023-10-26

House Republicans settled on Mike Johnson as House Speaker. Though Johnson has little to no national name recognition, he’s far more extreme than his predecessor, Kevin McCarthy, and even more extreme than previous speaker candidates like Jim Jordan. Johnson was a leader in Trump’s effort to overturn the 2020 election, and he supports draconian policies supported by the most fascist members of congress. In this video we’ll discuss why he won and look at his horrifying policy positions.
