Mike Johnson Strikes Again!

House Speaker Mike Johnson’s latest move is not only shocking, but it’s also brazen and bold. He recently wrote the foreword for the book The Revivalist Manifesto, which was written by far-right Louisiana politics blogger Scott McKay, as CNN reported Friday. Johnson and McKay have worked together before, with the lawmaker contributing numerous pieces to McKay’s blog. Johnson heavily promoted the controversial book on social media and his podcast, despite its problematic content.

The book contains a mix of homophobia, classism, widely debunked conspiracy theories, and false claims that Johnson has supported. In the foreword, Johnson says he believes the book is a “valuable and timely contribution” to public discourse.

But what exactly is in this book? For starters, it pushes multiple conspiracy theories, including the infamous “Pizzagate” conspiracy. McKay’s book also repeats the false claim about the Democratic National Committee’s emails being leaked by staffer Seth Rich, and it contains other controversial claims about climate change and immigration policies.

Johnson didn’t just write the foreword for the book, he also repeatedly promoted it on social media and had McKay as a guest on his podcast. The House Speaker has a history of aligning with far-right beliefs, making it no surprise that he was so openly supportive of such a controversial book.
