Get this. Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), who is arming the U.S. House of Representatives against President Biden’s child Hunter, says it’s completely unfair for anyone to even talk about his wife and she thinks God made him Speaker.
After it was revealed that Chairman 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 likened homosexuals to beastiality and believed that sex was outside marriage “offensive is “God,” former professional liar Trump White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany had the Johnsons commiserating on Fox about how horrible the “attacks” on her are.
Look here (my bold):
Mike Johnson’s wife Kelly just responded after it was revealed that her ‘Christian Counseling Services’ compares gays to bestiality and says sex outside of marriage ‘offends God’.
She said she “felt burdened in front of so many people” and says “God” made Mike Johnson the speaker. “It’s Biblical.” pic.twitter.com/Ar00R7F50R

Q: But Kelly, they also came after personally attacking you. You are a Christian counselor, a woman of God has attacked your profession. What is your reaction to that?
Kelly Johnson: You know, I used to be a teacher and I love that, but I just felt burdened for so many people, and I felt a calling to go back to school and become a Christian counselor. And that’s because I love people when I want to be able to help them through times of struggle and suffering. And I love what I do. I absolutely love it.
Mike Johnson: As a husband, you know, I’ll take all the arrows. That’s fine. 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 here.
Q: Oh, I love that. And how do your children deal with it?
Kelly Johnson: They’re doing pretty well. Um, I think they’re still in shock too because it’s still so new. But they are proud of their father and they are excited. They are excited about what lies ahead. Do you believe that your husband is here in this role, um, for a time like this, at this particular moment, for a reason?
I do. I do. I believe God put him here. That’s biblical. The Bible says he raises up leaders and cuts them down, right? So he, so I believe God has him here just for this one time.
Using that Michelle Duggar voice that whispers, “I’m not a threat!” I could be silenced at any moment!” To help insecure men across the country, Kelly explains how she felt the “calling” to go back to school and become a Christian counselor, though it’s not clear if she will continue “advising” people to hate themselves and pushes to deny rights to girls and women. right to live (Kelly is an advisor to the Louisiana wrongly named ‘Right for Life’).
Kelly’s advice website became “inaccessible” last week, not long after Mike was chosen by Satan (insert your own beliefs here, none of this is legitimate under the Constitution) to bankrupt the country, shut down the government (Putin is so happy, praise God!) and bringing down global democracy before ‘God’. It now says it is not yet linked to a domain. I guess God didn’t think she should teach people to hate themselves after all.
These “offers” are presented or imposed on vulnerable people “outside of more traditional, state-recognized settings so that advisors and clients can be fully engaged through their faith,” according to Business Insider.
In other words, none of this is legitimate, knowledge-based counseling or even a combination of counseling with a biblical slant. Kelly’s consulting views are based on a couple who cited anti-Semitic and anti-Catholic Tim LaHaye. That doesn’t mean she is any of those things, but the basis for the guidance is not… ‘exalted’ beliefs.
These are narrow-minded, power-grabbing, and judgmental beliefs—that is, the opposite of high-minded religious teachings that call on people to be the best they can be, be kind to their neighbors, and promote social justice.
Apparently the God of the Johnsons is cool with attacking the president’s son as he recovers from drug addiction and deep grief over the loss of his best friend and brother for something the DOJ is already prosecuting him for. I have to admit, this doesn’t seem very Christian to me.
But lest you get the idea that Mike Johnson is yet another right-wing hypocrite using God to hide his hatred of the rich, I’d like to set you straight (pardon the pun). Mike Johnson is a hypocrite, but not for these reasons. Mike Johnson is the easiest breed to manipulate: Mike Johnson truly believes in his own divine superiority. These are the types that the Republican Party uses and abuses until they are washed up and eventually sent to Alaska to keep an eye on Russia from their backyard.
You may notice that people who cite God as their source of power seem very clear that if they are chosen, it is God’s will. If others are chosen, it is a mistake. A mistake, by God, if you will. Perhaps God fails in not “raising up” the divinely privileged. God apparently has enough free time to manipulate the election of party chairmen, while he has no time left to help children attacked in war.
Mike Johnson has long believed that the culture war he waged 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 I have been on the front lines of the ‘culture war’ in defense of religious freedom, the sanctity of human life and biblical laws. values, including the defense of traditional marriage, and other ideals like these when they are under attack,” Johnson told the Baptist Message, long before he knew every interview he gave would be scrutinized.
But Johnson will never be as scrutinized as someone running for president. The moderate temperature of the media asking questions about his and his wife’s beliefs, which they have been expressing and acting on in a public manner for years, is nothing like the searing flame that Johnson is putting on the president’s son and that has fueled the right. about the president’s youngest daughter, including stealing her diary to sell to the right-wing activist organization (and sometimes criminal organization) Project Veritas.
Johnson wants people to leave his wife alone, but his own choices have shown that he believes family is definitely NOT off limits.
It is also a surprise to hear that the Johnsons think God is against democracy, to the extent that God would choose to come here to earth when there were so many other leaders who would need to be replaced, to focus on the to interfere at the last minute in the race of American speakers. at the last minute by introducing a fourth candidate, Mike Johnson, an architect of January 6.
This God, the God of the Johnsons, has some explaining to do.
