Republican House speaker Mike Johnson is evil and being controlled by the devil in his mission to create “division through fear”, a liberal Christian minister has said.
In an op-ed for Salon, titled ‘Mike Johnson claims to hate the devil.
Maybe he should look in the mirror’, Reverend Nathaniel Manderson hit out at “hypocrites” among evangelical Christian leaders and Republican politicians.
He wants to control and mislead people and get them to do evil things,” the minister wrote, in reference to progressive causes being pushed aside.
The liberal minister added that “people who loudly claim to be pure and good” are more likely to actually be evil.
Just weeks before he was voted in as House Speaker, Johnson said that LGBTQ+ youth have turned American culture “dark and depraved”.
Despite a long track record of anti-LGBTQ+ comments and advocacy, he has insisted he can’t be a hateful person because he’s a Christian. »
