Ex-ally calls out Mike Johnson for supporting anti-Christian move: 'Not what Jesus said'
https://www.rawstory.com/mtg-mike-johnson-iran-civilization/
Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) accused Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) of not following the teachings of Jesus Christ because he had supported President Donald Trump after a threat to destroy Iran's entire civilization in one night.
During an interview with CNN on Thursday, Greene called Trump's apocalyptic threat "insanity."
"I really hope to see people in leadership in Washington, D.C., get back on track and care about regular Americans," Greene said. "I think I'm one of the few honest Republicans willing to talk about it. Everyone else is just afraid to speak out against the president because they're terrified of having an ugly Truth Social post dropped on them or a primary challenge."
"They're cowards. And I really have to call out the speaker, Mike Johnson, who calls himself a Christian," she added. "I don't know how he can stand by those words. That's what was so offensive to me. Any Christian serving in Congress or serving in the Senate and serving in the administration really needs to take pause and ask themselves, as a Christian, do you really support the president calling for the annihilation, calling to wipe out an entire civilization of people? And I don't think you should because that's not what Jesus said and that's not what Christianity is all about."

(25,588 posts)You hear that? Do you hear that? Religious wars, son. Nothing else in the world sounds like that. I love the sound of religious wars in the morning. You know, one time we had a church bombed. When it was all over, I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' heretic body. The sound you know that "Jesus Hates You" sound the hills were alive with the sound of religious intolerance. Religious wars will never end.
