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.”

Great. A more qualified but equally whack-a-doodle version of Jim Jordon.

Yes, an election denier is House speaker. Well done, party of insurrectionists.

Election denier, religious fanatic, anti-homosexual.
Perfect for the today’s GOP. What a disgrace of a political party.

So I guess it's back to do they shut down the government or do they want a Biden impeachment inquiry that has no subpoena power because they haven't voted.

Maybe the harshest backhanded compliment I’ve heard delivered by a spouse…. “My wife talked to herself in her head for a little bit every day and it was so exhausting she can’t do anything else”.

"George Bush says he speaks to God every day, and Christians love him for it. If George Bush said he spoke to God through his hair dryer, they would think he was mad. I fail to see how the addition of a hair dryer makes it any more absurd."

Like... I get what your saying, but the addition of "a hair dryer" 1000% makes it more absurd and takes away from your position.

Talking to god is fine, it's when he starts talking back that there's a problem.

Hearing voices in your head is pretty standard. It's when you start hearing them from your knees or ankles you should probably seek some help.

I'll only be able to remember this guy, because his wife spent two weeks on her knees, until she was worn out, just to get him elected.

The above quote is unfortunately not a TorqueDog Original ™ but a Sam Harris quote. In any case, the hair dryer component makes it absurd to everybody, and he's saying that -- to the non-religious -- claiming to speak to God was absurd irrespective of a hair dryer being involved. George Bush claiming to speak to his wife isn't absurd because she's real.
I mean now it's weird because George and Barbara are both stone dead and we're not ready for that zombie movie just yet.

Which is worse?
"My wife was on her knees for the last two weeks"
or McCarthy saying in reference to Pelosi and the gavel
"I won't bang her with it....but I will....wait"
