"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.”
There is literally no person in an elected position of power in this country who is trying to impose any form of Sharia Law. None. However there are ore than a few Republican lawmakers who are trying to impose their version of Christian Law in this country in an attempt to control others. Speaker Johnson knows that there is no one doing anything with Sharia Law. He also knows that such talk is just a dog whistle to appeal to the ignorant, bigoted people that make up a large part of the Republican base (like BHM and LOLMom).
