Religious Zealot Mike Johnson Is Speechless About Trump's Womanizing

Throughout his political career, Mike Johnson has not been shy in expressing his religious beliefs—that everything he does, whether it be attacking LGBTQ rights or rejecting women’s bodily autonomy, is in service of God. But on Wednesday, the Christian nationalist seemingly had no opinion about Donald Trump’s extramarital affair with porn star Stormy Daniels or the alleged payments made to keep the tryst under wraps ahead of the 2016 presidential election.

“You’re a deeply religious man,” said CNN’s Manu Raju. “Does that alleged conduct cause you any concern about the former president’s character?”

Johnson was clearly peeved by the question. “Look, I’m not going to comment on that,” he said. “What we’ve said about what’s happening in Manhattan is, I’ve called it a disgrace because it is. It’s clearly law-fare. They’re clearly going after President Trump because of who he is, because he will—soon to be officially the nominee of the Republican party for president of the United States.”

Last week, Johnson made a surprise appearance outside Trump’s trial in New York, slamming the gag order against the former president. Dozens of other Republican politicians have traveled to the Manhattan courthouse to figuratively bend the knee to Trump, including North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum and Senators Tim Scott, J.D. Vance, and Tommy Tuberville.

Men wouldn't cheat if their wives were accommodating enough.

And look what's happening to the denomination he belongs to.

The guy is completely dishonest, and he is a pathetic liar. They're going after ex-President Trump because he is a liar and because he committed felonies to try and cover up his lawbreaking, criminal activity, along with an affair he had with a porn star.

or did a whale really swallow Jonah? Or are we all descended from Noah? He and his ilk are buttplugs to progress, preventing fertile ideas from flowering in the body politic.
