New Speaker of The House Mike Johnson's invocation of God and the Bible during his appearances following his election has sparked a polarized reaction from social media.
Conservatives on X – the platform formely known as Twitter – praised Johnson for wearing his Christianity on his sleeve in his new role, while some liberals claimed that he is offending the “Constitution and the New Testament” with his appeal to God inside the House chamber.
After the GOP congressman’s election as Speaker of the House Wednesday, following weeks of Republican lawmakers being unable to decide on a candidate, Johnson made time for prayer and recognition of the God of his Christian faith.
