House Speaker Mike Johnson describes himself as a ChristianĀ before anything else. He hasĀ saidĀ his āfaith informs everything I do.ā He hasĀ toldĀ people curious about his views to āpick up a Bible.ā His wifeĀ reportedlyĀ runs a counseling service whose operating agreement, which he himself notarized,Ā states, āWe believe and the Bible teaches that any form of sexual immorality, such as adulteryā¦is sinful and offensive to God.āĀ He hasĀ saidĀ he and his son use a software program called Covenant Eyes to ensure neither is looking at porn.
Given all this, you may think that Johnson would not be comfortable showing up to a criminal trial to defend a guy who allegedly had an affair with an adult film star (according to the adult film star anyway, though Trump denies it), paid her to stay quiet about the alleged affair, and then was accused of covering up said payment. But you would think wrong!
On Tuesday, Johnson attendedĀ Donald Trumpās hush money trial in Manhattan, whereāprior to the proceedings getting underwayāthe congressional leader nodded approvingly at Trump from behind a metal barrier, like a groupie at his favorite bandās concert.
I can see you havenāt met many christians if you think this is hypocritical behavior.
Ghandi ? I like your Christ, you Christians are so unlike him.
Even if it is typical it is still hypocritical.
Yeha but you know Republicans will just look the other way when confronted with such arguments.
Itās still important to call out the hypocrisy, even if it is their normal modus operandi. Ad nauseatum.
Liars and conmen need to be exposed again and again until the most misinformed and thickest victim finally gets it.
Trump has proven that this will take until the end of time but it is still worth it. If you save one victim per bunch of Trumpists itās worth it.
