BREAKING NEWS – New York City, New York – Former White House press secretary turned MSNBC host Jen Psaki bashed the new Republican speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, for being a “religious fundamentalist” on her show, “Inside with Jen Psaki.”
“First glance, Mike Johnson does seem fine,” Psaki said. “Fine-ish. Conservative, yes. But he once started a civility caucus with a Democrat. And I mean, if nothing else, he wears a suit and has glasses,” she continued. “How threatening can this guy actually be?”
Psaki played a clip of Johnson describing himself as a “Bible-believing Christian.”
“I am a Bible-believing Christian,” Johnson said. “Someone asked me today in the media, they said, ‘Well, it’s curious. People are curious, what does Mike Johnson think about any issue under the sun?'” he said in the clip. “I said, ‘Well, go pick up a Bible off your shelf and read it. That’s my worldview.’”
“You heard that right,” Psaki said in response to Johnson’s comments. “The Bible doesn’t just inform his worldview, it is his worldview. He, and people like him are very dangerous politicians. They focus way too much on high moral standards, and they embrace that Ten Commandments nonsense. I’m glad I’m in the party of freedom, where we don’t pass judgement on anyone’s morals. We believe if an individual thinks something is right, who are we, God, or Jesus, to impose our personal standards on what is or isn’t acceptable public and private behavior.”
