Speaking with Hannity on (where else do these guys speak but) Fox last night, the new House Speaker said: "Someone asked me today in the media, 'People are curious, what does Mike Johnson think about any issue?' I said, 'Well, go pick up a Bible off your shelf and read it. That's my worldview.'"
Chef José Andrés, whose World Central Kitchen provides healthy food to families and individuals touched by disasters, replied by tweet: .@SpeakerJohnson thank you for providing an increase in SNAP so all Americans in need will be able to eat and also for supporting Universal School Lunch. You can not multiply fishes and loaves but you can support the policies to make something similar happen! Jesus will be so proud
Unfortunately for Andrés, most republicans do not practice the Bible, they only preach the Bible.
Oh, and they don't 'get' sarcasm.

Ouch. No problem with him or anyone having religious beliefs but I am put off by people who wear it on their sleeve, and especially so when that person wields power over how I live.
Still better than Hakeem Jefferies, though.

Arcane and useless heavily-influenced-by-translation language having multiple different interpretations, but only one is right. And God speaks to me through the collection plate so I know. I would read a Bible if it was heavily annotated by both sincere honest believers and intelligent atheists alike.

Then I would be a religious extremist. I went to a few Catholic services and a couple of Iglesia ni Crusto services. The others Ii don't remember, but my wife dragged me to a few. No, any YEC that attends Law School has to be an extremist, but it's possible to not be. Ya aren't doing anything to show me he isn't an extremist. So far your opponents win.

He is in his fourth term and has never served in a senior leadership position or even as a full committee chair. But for republicans, inexperience is a feature, not a bug.
And what "smear campaign"? You just wrote, "Nobody's heard of this guy," and reporters are now taking a close look at the guy who's number two in line for the presidency. And all they're doing is
quoting his own words.
For example: the guy believes Noah's Ark is historical fact. Johnson provided legal representation for the Ark Encounter creationist theme park and successfully secured $18 million in tax subsidies from the state of Kentucky for the park, saying: "The Ark Encounter is
one way to bring people to this recognition of the truth, that what we read in the Bible are actual historical events."
Johnson blamed school shootings on the teaching of evolution:
"And people say, 'How can a young person go into their schoolhouse and open fire on their classmates?' Because we've taught a whole generation, a couple generations now of Americans, that there's no right or wrong, that it's about survival of the fittest, and you evolve from the primordial slime. Why is that life of any sacred value? Because there's nobody sacred to whom it's owed. None of this should surprise us." Johnson was
the key architect of Trump's effort to steal the 2020 election. About three-quarters of Republicans supporting Trump's election challenge relied on his argument that several states had improperly changed their voting rules in response to the pandemic, thus nullifying their results and allowing the Republican House to select the winner.
Johnson spent eight years working as a senior attorney and national spokesperson for the Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF). The Southern Poverty Law Center has listed ADF as a hate group. He has spent the past twenty years
arguing for the criminalization of gay sex and against the legalization of same-sex marriage.
He is an advocate for "covenant marriage."
Johnson
does not believe in the separation of church and state: "The founders wanted to protect the church from an encroaching state, not the other way around." Interesting for a "constitutional scholar".
He
advocates for the federal ban of abortion nationwide and has said he is open to banning abortion beginning at fertilization.
So people are taking a close look at Johnson now, as we should, and are writing about his beliefs and legislative positions to inform the public.
And educating the public about what Johnson has said and argued to become law is not a smear campaign.

That's right. And'no one intends to.
Which was my point. It doesn't matter to the NPC crowd; they're going to call him names anyway.
So it's much more fun to run with it and stoke the expectation that he's going to pass legislation that hands out Bibles in every school in the country. OP and some others are going to work themselves into a frenzy anyway; it's far more entertaining to see what we get them to scream about :)

'The dating study revealed the samples to be between 3500 and 5000 years old, or from 3000 B.C., the most recent time when the catastrophic flood is believed to have occurred.
'According to the first findings obtained from the studies, it is thought that there have been human activities in the region since the Chalcolithic period, that is, between the years 5500 and 3000 BC,' Agri Ibrahim Cecen University Vice Rector Prof. Dr. Faruk Kaya said.'
