The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Pressed on religious bigotry, Speaker Johnson makes an ugly problem even worse

GOP Rep. Andy Ogles of Tennessee added to the pattern this week, publishing a message to social media that argued, “Muslims don’t belong in American society.”

The good news is, the Louisiana Republican finally said something on Tuesday afternoon. The bad news is, Congress’ most powerful GOP leader made an ugly problem even worse.

Johnson effectively presented a defense of his far-right members’ bigotry.

“There’s a lot of energy in the country and a lot of popular sentiment that the demand to impose sharia law in America is a serious problem. That’s what animates this,” the House speaker said. “The language that people use — it’s different language than I would use, but I think that’s a serious issue. Sharia law and the imposition of sharia law is contrary to the U.S. Constitution.”
