Ex-White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki openly has blasted new House Speaker Mike Johnson for his Christian faith, exhibiting what one commentator has described as “open discrimination based on his religious faith.’
Psaki’s diatribe came as she told people what she thinks about Johnson this weekend:
Oddly, she targets his faith as she points out how reasonable he likely is.
“First glance, Mike Johnson does seem fine. Fine-ish. Conservative, yes. But he once started a civility caucus with a Democrat. And I mean, if nothing else, he wears a suit and has glasses. How threatening can this guy actually be?” she charges.
Then a clip of Johnson appears in which he states: “I am a Bible-believing Christian. Someone asked me today in the media, they said, well, it’s curious. People are curious, what does Mike Johnson think about any issue under the sun? I said, Well, go pick up a Bible off your shelf and read it. That’s my world view.”
Psaki’s editorializing?
“You heard that right. The Bible doesn’t just inform his worldview, it is his worldview.”
And she claims that makes him “divisive.”
Fox News characterized Psaki as having “bashed” Johnson.
And it reported, “In an article for MSNBC, Psaki warned her audience that Johnson is a scary speaker for more than just his political beliefs. ‘Most Americans might not be able to pick Mike Johnson out of a lineup, but in reality he’s far from benign,’ Psaki wrote.”
She said Americans should be scared of his political ideology – and also because he’s “a Christian fundamentalist.”
The report cited Johnson’s decision not to hide his Christianity, and said, “While conservatives on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, have praised Johnson for wearing his Christianity on his sleeve in his new role, some liberals argued that he is offending the ‘Constitution and the New Testament’ with his appeal to God inside the House chamber.”
The reaction came after he pointed out that the believes God allowed “each one of us” at a House assembly to “be brought here for this specific moment.”
“I believe that each one of us has a huge responsibility today to use the gifts that God has given us to serve the extraordinary people of this great country and they deserve it,” he said.
A commentary at The Gateway Pundit bluntly called Psaki an “anti-Christian bigot” and said, “This is open discrimination based on his religious faith.”
It continued, “Democrats are becoming more godless and wicked by the day. It wasn’t an accident that they booed God at their 2012 convention.”
And their response to Johnson’s election?
“The godless party finally decided on a sure-fire tactic. They’re going to attack him on his faith! … Did you ever imagine in your lifetime that we would have a major American party that hated Christians?”
IMPORTANT NOTE TO WND READERS: “Our country is going communist!” warned Donald Trump recently. “It’s going Marxist, it’s going REALLY bad.” He added, “The PEOPLE of our country aren’t that way – but the people RUNNING it are.” Is this just election-season bluster and hyperbole, or can the utterly unthinkable be true?
Incredibly, it is true. In 2023 America, the Democratic Party – its agendas, its core values, its wall-to-wall dishonesty, and its audacious and utterly ruthless methods – are virtually indistinguishable from those of modern-day communists. Compare the Communist Party USA’s website, CPUSA.org (where the featured top-of-page story is about “TRANS RIGHTS”), with the Democratic National Committee’s website, Democrats.org, and try to discern any substantive difference.
America’s plunge into atheistic Marxism in virtually every area of life – from weaponizing government and courts to destroy critics and political opponents, to crushing free speech, to corrupting and brainwashing the nation’s children, and much much more – is all stunningly explored in the October issue of WND’s critically acclaimed Whistleblower magazine, titled “AMERICA’S COMMUNIST REVOLUTION: How the freest nation in history is rapidly becoming a Marxist police state.” Beyond exposing the Marxist takeover of America’s key institutions, this explosive special report goes on to reveal how Marxism/communism is ACTUALLY A MAJOR WORLD RELIGION, albeit a false and malevolent one. It unearths what REALLY motivates the “high priests” of this truly dark atheistic faith, which has captivated untold millions and murdered millions more. And it vividly illustrates exactly how and why citizens of the greatest nation in history are now experiencing – to quote Barack Obama’s words – “a fundamental transformation of the United States of America.” This Whistleblower issue is a crucial wake-up call for all Americans. WHISTLEBLOWER is available in both the popular print edition and a state-of-the-art digital version, either single issues or discounted annual subscriptions.
