Former White House press secretary and MSNBC host Jen Psaki mocked the Republican Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, for being a “religious fundamentalist.'
Former White House press secretary turned MSNBC host Jen Psaki bashed the new Republican Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, for being a 'religious fundamentalist' on her show, 'Inside with Jen Psaki,' Sunday. 'First glance, Mike Johnson does seem fine,' Psaki said. '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,' she continued.
'It’s not just his political ideology that should scare us. Johnson is basically a Christian fundamentalist,' she continued. Johnson has received a polarized reaction online for invoking God and the Bible during appearances following his election to Speaker of the House.
