CNN Unearths Audio of New House Speaker Calling Humans ‘Inherently Evil’ and Abortion a ‘Holocaust’
Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) called human beings “inherently evil” and referred to abortion as “an American holocaust” in audio clips resurfaced by CNN.
Andy Kaczynski of KFILE joined Tuesday’s OutFront, where he shared his findings with Erin Burnett.
“It is truly an American holocaust,” Johnson said of abortion in a radio interview in May 2022. “I mean, the reality is that Planned Parenthood and all these big abortion, they set up their clinics in inner cities. They are, you know, they regard these people as easy prey. I mean it’s true. This is what’s happening across the country now.”
Kaczynski went on to say he found a clip of Johnson opposing gay couples adopting children. Johnson claimed that homosexuality is a “behavior” and therefore not covered by anti-discrimination laws.
“And that sort of goes into this next clip that I want to play which is, him discussing what he thinks the proper role of government is,” Kaczynski said, teeing up a radio interview from 2010. “Listen to what he said here”:
JOHNSON: One of the primary purposes of the law in civil government is to restrain evil… We have to acknowledge collectively that man is inherently evil and needs to be restrained. That’s– see, that’s the problem with the radical left. They don’t acknowledge a God.”
Kaczynski added that Johnson also supports imprisonment for abortion doctors and the elimination of hate crimes statutes.
Shortly after being elected speaker last month, Johnson gave an interview with Fox News in which he said his worldview amounts to, “Well, go pick up a Bible off your shelf and read it.”
