Get this. Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), who is arming the U.S. House of Representatives against President Biden’s child Hunter, thinks it’s totally unfair for anyone to talk about his wife and she thinks God made it president.
After it was revealed that President Mike Johnson’s wife, Kelly Johnson, ran a so-called Christian counseling service affiliated with Cypress Baptist Church in Benton, Louisiana, that practiced “temperament therapy” and compares homosexuals to bestiality and believes sex outside of marriage ‘offends God’, Kayleigh McEnany, Trump’s former professional White House liar, asked the Johnsons to complain about the horror of the ‘attacks’ against her.
Look here (my bold):
Mike Johnson’s wife Kelly has just responded after it was revealed his “Christian counseling services” compare gay people to bestiality and claim sex outside of marriage “offends God.”
She said she “felt overwhelmed for so many people” and that “God” made Mike Johnson president. “It’s biblical.” pic.twitter.com/Ar00R7F50R

Q: But Kelly, they also came after you personally attacked yourself. You are a Christian counselor, a woman of God who has attacked your profession. What is your response to this?
Kelly Johnson: Well, you know, I was a teacher and I loved it, but I just felt like a burden to so many people and I felt the calling to go back to school to become a Christian counselor. And that’s because I love people when I want to be able to help them through their times of struggle and suffering. And I love what I do. I love that.
Mike Johnson: As a husband, you know, I’ll take any arrow. It is very good. But don’t talk about my wife, for God’s sake. She is the kindest, sweetest person in the world and anyone they interview, anywhere, at any stage of her life, will tell you about this lady right here.
Q: Oh, I love it. And how are your children handling it all?
Kelly Johnson: They’re doing pretty well. Um, I think they’re also still in shock because it’s still so new. But, uh, they’re proud of their dad and they’re excited. They are excited about what awaits them. Do you think your husband is here in this role, uh, at a time like this, at this particular time, for a reason?
I do. I do. I believe God placed him here. It’s biblical. The Bible says he raises up rulers and he brings them down, right? So him, so I believe God has him here just this once.
Using that Michelle Duggar voice whispering, “I’m not a threat!” I can be silenced at any time! Faced with the insecurity of men across the country, Kelly explains how she felt the “call” to return to school to become a Christian counselor, although it’s unclear if she will continue “counseling” people to hate each other and to deny girls and women access to freedom. right to life (Kelly is a Louisiana advisor poorly named “Right for Life”).
Kelly’s counseling website became “unreachable” last week, shortly after Mike was chosen by Satan (insert your own beliefs here, none of this is constitutionally legitimate) to put the country bankrupt, shut down the government (Putin is so happy, praise him). God!) and bring down global democracy for “God”. It now says it is not yet connected to a domain. I guess God didn’t think she should teach people to hate themselves after all.
These “offerings” are presented or imposed on vulnerable people “outside of more traditional state-sanctioned settings, so that counselors and clients can fully engage with their faith,” according to Business Insider.
In other words, none of this is legitimate, knowledge-based advice or even a mixture of biblically-leaning advice. Kelly’s advice their beliefs are based on a couple who quoted anti-Semitic and anti-Catholic Tim LaHaye. That’s not to say she is either of those things, but the basis of counseling is not… “high” beliefs.
These are petty beliefs, greedy for power and judgment, that is to say the opposite of noble religious teachings which call people to give the best of themselves, to be kind to their neighbors and to promote social justice.
Apparently the Johnson God has no qualms about attacking the president’s son as he recovers from drug addiction and deep grief over losing his best friend and brother for something the DOJ is pursuing him for Already. I have to admit that this doesn’t seem very Christian to me.
But lest you get the impression that Mike Johnson is another right-wing hypocrite who uses God to hide his wrongs against the rich, let me set you straight (pardon the pun). Mike Johnson is a hypocrite, but not for these reasons. Mike Johnson is the most easily manipulated breed: Mike Johnson sincerely believes in his own divine superiority. These are the guys that the Republican Party uses and abuses until they are washed up and eventually sent back home to Alaska to monitor Russia from their backyard.
You may notice that people who cite God as their power source seem very clear that when they are chosen, it is God’s will. When others are chosen, it is a mistake. A mistake, by God, if you will. Perhaps God failed to “raise up” the divinely privileged. God apparently has plenty of free time to manipulate the election of the President within a party, but no free time to help children attacked during the war.
Mike Johnson has long believed that the culture war he wages with his legal work is a form of ministry.
“Some people are called to pastoral ministry and others to music ministry, etc. I was called to legal ministry and served on the front lines of the “culture war” defending religious freedom, the sanctity of human life, and biblical respect. values, including the defense of traditional marriage, and other ideals like these when they were attacked,” Johnson told the Baptist message, long before he knew that every interview he gave would be scrutinized.
But Johnson will never be as scrutinized as a presidential candidate. The calm temperature of the media asking questions about his and his wife’s beliefs, which they have broadcast for years and acted publicly, has nothing to do with the burning flame that Johnson puts on the president’s son and that the right put. on the president’s youngest daughter, including stealing her newspaper and selling it to the right-wing activist organization (and sometimes criminal operation) Project Veritas.
Johnson wants people to leave his wife alone, but his own choices have shown that he thinks family is decidedly NOT off-limits.
Furthermore, it is a surprise to learn that the Johnsons believe that God is against democracy to the point that God would have chosen to come to Earth when there were so many other leaders who would need to be replaced, to interfere in the race for the presidency of the United States at any time. last minute by pushing as a fourth candidate, Mike Johnson, an architect of January 6.
This God, the God of the Johnsons, has some explaining to do.
