Not to quibble too much, but this is sticking in our craw. Was Rep. Hakeem Jeffries' bro hug yesterday really the proper greeting, given what everyone knows about Christofascist "MAGA Mike" Johnson?

Meet the new boss,
ReplyDeletesame as the old boss.
I think a handshake would have been more than enough. This is not the Prodigal Son that we are dealing with here.
ReplyDeleteMaybe more like the hug that Michael gave Fredo in the godfather.
ReplyDeleteThere is a strange positive about Mike Johnson. When he and his wife were first married, they started fostering a 14 year-old Black boy who was on the streets and in trouble. Johnson has referred to his Black son during some debates, but I doubt actual adoption took place. During the George Floyd protests, Johnson said "clearly this was a murder" and talked about how his Black son had so many more challenges and dangers to face than his white one. I'd love to hear from that "son," now in his mid-30's, about the situation. And, yes, some of Johnson's colleagues have called him "too woke" because of this!
