The far right is mad at Mike Johnson for suggesting that his adopted black son was treated differently than his biological white son.

    Oh, look, a republican who doesn’t have compassion unless he has experienced similar adversity! Imagine that!

    None of these people care about anyone who they don’t have a personal relationship with but, as soon as something impacts someone they care about, they suddenly have compassion. And, of course, the rest of the discompassionate right wingers condemn him for having even that little bit of self interested compassion.

      This article is obviously trying to get people to kind of like him because he’s not as bad as those other guys.

      • He’s a traitor and an insurrectionist
      • He hates and/or wants to control half of our population
      • He wouldn’t hesitate to bend the law in his favor
      • He thinks he’s been appointed by his christian god (yikes).

      All of that needs to be seen when you see his name. Not that he said kind things once or twice.

        And

        Every. Single. Republican. Voted for him to become speaker.

        This guy actively tried to overthrow the government multiple ways during and after January 6th. He’s far more MAGA than McCarthy.

        There are no moderate Republicans anymore. Not even 5 of them. This guy’s policy stances should be tied to every Republican in the house because literally all of them support him.

      Liz Cheney: hates gays, finds out sister is gay, gay’s aren’t so bad now.

      And this is a “moderate” Republican.
