The Louisiana representative cited privacy as to why there are no pictures of his “adopted” child in public family photos.
On the day Johnson was voted in, several major right-wing social media accounts on X, formerly known as Twitter, began circulating clips of an interview Johnson gave to PBS in 2020, in which he told journalist Walter Isaacson that the police killing of George Floyd was “an act of murder” and called for “systemic change.” Notably, Johnson said in the interview that he had learned about racism in America through the experience of raising a Black son, Michael.

He asked not to be involved in their new public life.” Day added that Johnson “maintains a close relationship with Michael to this day.
