New Speaker Johnson keeps trying to distance himself from past extremism—but there’s a lot of video

11 months ago 52

After the nation's news media looked at newly minted House Speaker Mike Johnson's past statements and stances and some people found them to be extremely unsettling, Johnson is retreating to Fox News for yet another round of image polishing. The first time was with host Sean Hannity. This time, it's a gauze-filtered sit-down interview on "Outnumbered."

The focus of the interview appears to be the horror of Johnson being asked to account for a career of hateful and theocracy-promoting statements, padded with Johnson claiming that he didn't actually mean those things. And foremost, says the politician whose first act as House speaker was to declare that God Himself had put him in the role, he is "not trying to establish Christianity as the national religion or something. That's not what this is about at all."

Johnson: I'm not trying to establish christianity as the national religion, that is not what this is about. If you believe in the bible commands and seek to follow those, it is impossible to be hateful person. pic.twitter.com/ZX5hJEYLVZ
