This is who the GOP conference unanimously elected to be their leader. Good job, guys.

Mike Johnson is a senior attorney for Alliance Defending Freedom, the hateful homophobic organization that is responsible for overturning Roe v. Wade. In one of his many hateful editorials, he wrote this:

If we change marriage for this tiny, modern minority, we will have to do it for every deviant group. There will be no legal basis to deny a bisexual the right to marry a partner of each sex, or a person to marry his pet.”

He wrote that homosexual marriage is a “dark harbinger of chaos” that will “doom the strongest republic.”

He also said doctors who perform abortions should be imprisoned and forced to do hard labor:

He’s not just an election denier, he lead the effort to overthrow the election. If Joe Biden wins in 2024, he will not certify the election. It says something that Trump and Mike, two people who hate democracy, are the leaders of the GOP.

Courage for America already made an ad for him.

Extreme.

Anti-democracy.

I mean this guy really hates democracy and wants to establish a theocracy.

Also:

He said the terrorists who beat cops with flagpoles and stormed the Capitol were “legitimate protestors”

He called COVID a hoax

He’s a vaccine denier

He called Social Security a Ponzi scheme

He is on the record for saying we need to cut Social Security and Medicare

Called climate change a hoax

He is, surprise, a white supremacist

All of this is what came out in just the past few hours of him being elected. Worse things will come out in the coming days.

Every one of the Biden 18 voted for this assclown. This guy is who they said should be their leader. Remind people of that every day.
