Space Speaker Mike Johnson says Biden's presidency 'should be God's will'

[ad_1]

In October, Rep. Mike Johnson mentioned his ascension to the placement of Space speaker was once no accident, suggesting that God had ordained it.

“I believe that scripture, the Bible, is very clear that God is the one that raises up those in authority," the Louisiana Republican said in an eyebrow-raising first speech as speaker. "He raised up each of you. All of us. And I believe that God has allowed and ordained each and every one of us to be here at this specific moment.”

On Wednesday, reporter Pablo Manríquez requested Johnson at a information convention if he believed that "Joe Biden's presidency is God's will," in an obvious connection with Johnson's speech in October.

After speaking at some duration in regards to the Bible and his religion, Johnson mentioned: "It must have been God's will, then. That's my belief."

(A reminder that Johnson was once considered one of 147 Republicans in Congress who voted towards certifying Biden’s election win — a win that he now it sounds as if believes was once “God’s will.”)

Johnson's election to the speakership drew scrutiny to his Christian nationalist ideals and his less-than-stellar management report. He has additionally mentioned that the theory of separation of church and state — one of the vital country's founding rules — signifies that the federal government will have to no longer encroach on spiritual ideals, however no longer that the founding fathers “didn’t want principles of faith to have influence on our public life.” That take seems to misconceive the whole implications of that concept even because it guides his ideology of centering Christian values in American political lifestyles.

In spite of his trust that God conferred the authority of U.S. president on Biden, Johnson — who has made no secret of his persevered reinforce for Donald Trump — mentioned he thinks the rustic will make a "much better choice" within the election this 12 months.

"We’re very much looking forward to that regime change," he mentioned.
