Dope1: Why didn't we hear about this guy before?

You just weren't listening.

He's the guy who said that if all those women had been forced to have babies and not been given choice after Roe, we'd have a lot more "able-bodied workers" and Social Security and Medicare wouldn't be in jeopardy of cuts today. Damn women.

Johnson advocates prison for women who have abortions (so a misogynist) and for doctors who perform abortions.

Johnson supports a national abortion ban beginning at fertilization.

In the Louisiana legislature, he proposed the Marriage and Conscience Act to protect people who discriminate against same-sex married couples. So a strong opponent of LGBT rights.

Johnson is a young earth creationist and believes that the Earth was created approximately 6,000 years ago. <---- on topic!

Johnson voted against a $40 billion aid package for Ukraine and voted against additional allocations to Ukraine for 2022 and aid in 2023. He has said sending aid to Ukraine is a "terrible mistake."

In short, just the kind of guy to invigorate democrats to get out and vote to take back the House in 2024.
