Former White House press secretary turned MSNBC host Jen Psaki bashed the new Republican speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, for being a "religious fundamentalist" on her show, "Inside with Jen Psaki," Sunday.
"First glance, Mike Johnson does seem fine," Psaki said. "Fine-ish. Conservative, yes. But he once started a civility caucus with a Democrat. And I mean, if nothing else, he wears a suit and has glasses," she continued. "How threatening can this guy actually be?"
Psaki played a clip of Johnson describing himself as a "Bible-believing Christian."
"I am a Bible-believing Christian," Johnson said. "Someone asked me today in the media, they said, 'Well, it’s curious. People are curious, what does Mike Johnson think about any issue under the sun?'" he said in the clip. "I said, ‘Well, go pick up a Bible off your shelf and read it. That’s my worldview.’"
