Insurrectionist, but basically all of them are at this point, so that doesn't say much. Wonder how long he'll last.
Quote:
Over a year later, on “Truth Be Told,” the Christian podcast he hosts with his wife, Kelly, Mr. Johnson continued to argue he and his colleagues had been right to object to the election results:
“The slates of electors were produced by a clearly unconstitutional process, period,” he said.
Mr. Johnson came to Congress in 2017 with support from the ultraconservative House Freedom Caucus, though he has never joined the group.
In an interview this year, he referred to Mr. Jordan, a co-founder of the Freedom Caucus, as a “very close friend” who “has been a mentor to me since I got here.”
