Speaker Johnson wrote foreword for book filled with conspiracy theories and homophobic insults ("The Revivalist Manifesto"_
CNN ^ | Andrew Kaczynski and Em Steck, CNN

Speaker of the House Mike Johnson wrote the foreword and publicly promoted a 2022 book that spread baseless and discredited conspiracy theories and used derogatory homophobic insults.

Written by Scott McKay, a local Louisiana politics blogger, the book, “The Revivalist Manifesto,” gives credence to unfounded conspiracy theories often embraced by the far-right – including the “Pizzagate” hoax, which falsely claimed top Democratic officials were involved in a pedophile ring, among other conspiracies.

The book also propagates baseless and inaccurate claims, implying that Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts was subjected to blackmail and connected to the disgraced underage sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.

Other sections of the book defend podcaster Joe Rogan from racism charges after it was revealed he used the N-word, which Rogan later apologized for. The book also disparages poor voters as “unsophisticated and susceptible to government dependency” and easy to manipulate with “Black Lives Matter ‘defund the police’ pandering.”

“Scott McKay presents a valuable and timely contribution with The Revivalist Manifesto because he has managed here to articulate well what millions of conscientious, freedom-loving Americans are sensing,” Johnson writes in his 300-word foreword.

Johnson’s endorsement of the book extends beyond the foreword: In 2022, he actively promoted the book on his public social media platforms and even dedicated an episode of his podcast he co-hosts with his wife to hosting McKay.

During the podcast episode, Johnson expressed his belief in the book, stating, “I obviously believe in the product, or I wouldn’t have written the foreword. So I endorse the work.” He also referred to McKay as a “dear friend” and highlighted that the book “really could make some waves.” Over the years, Johnson had written opinion pieces for McKay’s blog, the Hayride, and engaged with the author on public platforms like Facebook.

Mike Johnson is REALLY stirring up the Left.

Take a look at this video of James Carville talking about Johnson:

Here's another short but nice blurb from the article:
Since he was elevated to the speakership in October, Johnson’s views from his time as a socially conservative attorney, state lawmaker and Louisiana congressman have come under increased scrutiny – particularly his views on homosexuality which he has called an “inherently unnatural” and “dangerous” lifestyle and even blamed it, in part, for the fall of the Roman Empire.
Boom.

I don’t see a problem with any of what Johnson wrote. What is glaringly obvious is the usual language used by CNN and others to describe such statements as “baseless” and “conspiracy theories” when there ARE serious questions about such things. SSDD.

Yep.

Johnson has hit the Left right where it hurts.

He IS there biggest threat if he turns out to be the kind of leader we need to take this country back to its foundation.

Did he mention the fall of the Roman Empire having been caused, in part, by having been overrun by hordes of barbaric illegal immigrants?

There is a wry little footnote in Gibbon where he reflects that of the first fifteen Roman Emperors, “Claudius was the only one whose taste in love was entirely correct.”

Every “ conspiracy” has some truth in it.

I guess this blogger just demands you accept his version of the truth.

Democrats vehemently protest everything as “unfounded conspiracy” yet never release flight logs or Podesta’s emails…?.? The protest too must

To quote Tucker Carlson (as accurately as I recall from one of his shows on Fox): “We were labeled as conspiracy theorists just for asking questions....but let’s just go back and review all the things that were labelled conspiracy theories and we’ve since found were true.....”
