Mike Johnson, new Speaker of the House.
A Trump stooge, a Jim Jordan clone without the name recognition. Friend of Old Energy, enemy of women’s reproductive rights, architect of the amicus brief leading to a lawsuit intended to undo the results of the 2020 election in four battleground states, and which wasn’t even given the courtesy of a written opinion by the Supreme Court; not averse to dismantling Social Security and Medicare/Medicaid, and in general another in a long line of fearful Christian conservatives who sound naïve and scared and not a little defensive, like they’ve lived sheltered lives and been fed a line.
All we really need to know is that he’s a Trump toady and acceptable to the Freedom Caucus.
It’s really hard to stomach Matt Gaetz and company as they gloat and plot their next moves.
