CNN is out with a new report that says House Speaker Mike Johnson previously worked with an organization that pushed so-called conversion therapy, the widely discredited — and widely banned — practice of trying to force LGBTQ people to change their sexual orientation or gender identity. After he won the speakership, Johnson’s anti-LGBTQ positions have been well documented.
I’m fascinated by the potential fallout for Republicans after they elected Johnson. For the GOP, in theory, one upside to having a staunch ideologue as House speaker is that he leaves no confusion about where he stands on matters. It’s almost always far, far to the right. And Republicans have seemed gleeful about that. But, to quote a popular song, you can’t always get what you want. Or, perhaps better put: You shouldn’t.
