12 questions for radical House Speaker Mike Johnson. A 🧵:
1. You were active in the effort to nullify Biden’s election. Please cite your evidence of widespread election fraud.
2. You’re a lawyer. If the case for election fraud was so strong, why did Team Trump lose 60+ lawsuits?

3. How can you say the U.S. is a "Christian nation"? Haven't you read the Constitution?
4. You want to keep fraudster George Santos in the House because “the margin” of the GOP majority is thin. Isn’t that the kind of moral relativism you'd otherwise condemn?

5. As a lawyer, you represented a Bible-based theme park that said the Earth is only 6,000 years old and that Noah’s Ark was a real boat with dinosaurs on it. Scientists believe dinosaurs went extinct about 65 million years ago. Do you think they’re wrong?
