Democrats are leveraging Buttigieg to criticize Speaker Johnson’s Christian beliefs.
Democrats Using Buttigieg to Hammer New Speaker Johnson Over His Christian Beliefs
It’s no secret that Democrats rely on manufacturing victims for political survival. And now, President Joe Biden’s struggling administration has found a perfect use for Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, who has proven to be quite incompetent.
Last week, Buttigieg, who is openly gay, served as the messenger for Democratic attacks on Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson’s Christian beliefs not once, but twice. He appeared on CNN to share a sob story about how Johnson’s views made him feel.
“I will admit it’s a little bit difficult driving the family minivan to drop our kids off at day care passing the dome of the Capitol knowing that the speaker of the House sitting under that dome doesn’t even think our family ought to exist,” Buttigieg whined.
Johnson’s views on gay marriage and homosexual behavior were unearthed by CNN shortly after he became speaker. In response, Buttigieg and other prominent Democrats attacked his faith-based views.
Buttigieg even made a snarky comment about inviting Johnson over to his house, which is conveniently located near the Capitol. He claimed that his own domestic situation, being married to another man, represented the love of God.
Buttigieg wasn’t the only Democrat to attack Johnson’s Christian beliefs. Former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki described him as a far-right religious fanatic on MSNBC’s “Inside with Jen Psaki.”
“His views on policy are essentially what you’d expect from a religious fundamentalist — they’re more divisive than divine,” Psaki said.
Johnson responded to Psaki’s comment in an interview with Fox News’ Kayleigh McEnany, emphasizing that true Christians are commanded to love God and their neighbors.
“If you truly believe in the Bible’s commands and seek to follow them, it’s impossible to be a hateful person because the greatest command in the Bible is that you love God with everything you have, and you love your neighbor as yourself,” Johnson said.
Ironically, both Johnson and Buttigieg spoke of love, but their interpretations differed. Buttigieg saw his own domestic situation as a manifestation of God’s love, while Johnson emphasized the Christian message of loving others as oneself.
It’s important to understand that love, in the Christian sense, does not mean unconditional approval. Christians are called to love sinners but not endorse sinful behavior. Tolerance, as C.S. Lewis wrote, should not be mistaken for love.
Democrats’ attacks on Johnson’s faith reveal their selective targeting of Christians while avoiding criticism of other religions. The Biden administration even announced a new initiative to fight “Islamophobia,” further highlighting their bias.
Meanwhile, Buttigieg’s involvement in attacking Johnson’s beliefs serves as a distraction from his own failures as Transportation Secretary. From racist roads to catastrophic train derailments, Buttigieg’s performance has been abysmal.
But in this administration, failure is commonplace, and the key is to deflect responsibility and portray oneself as a victim. Democrats excel at this tactic.

It is evident that Democrats often rely on the creation of victims in order to further their political agendas. Recently, President Joe Biden’s struggling administration has found a perfect opportunity to utilize Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg as a means to attack Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson’s Christian beliefs. Buttigieg, who is openly gay, served as the spokesperson for the Democrats’ assault on Johnson’s views, appearing on CNN and sharing his personal feelings of discomfort with Johnson’s position.
In an interview, Buttigieg expressed his difficulty in driving past the Capitol with his family, knowing that Johnson, as the Speaker of the House, does not believe that their family should exist. Johnson’s views on gay marriage and homosexual behavior were revealed by CNN shortly after he assumed his position. In response, Buttigieg, along with other prominent Democrats, criticized Johnson’s faith-based beliefs.
Buttigieg even went so far as to make a sarcastic comment inviting Johnson to his house, conveniently located near the Capitol, asserting that his own domestic situation, being married to another man, represents the love of God. Former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki also joined the attack on Johnson’s Christian beliefs, referring to him as a far-right religious fanatic.
Johnson responded to Psaki’s comment in an interview with Fox News, emphasizing that true Christians are called to love God and their neighbors. He highlighted the Christian message of loving others as oneself, refuting the notion that holding faith-based views makes one a hateful person.
Interestingly, both Johnson and Buttigieg spoke of love, but with different interpretations. Buttigieg viewed his own domestic situation as a manifestation of God’s love, while Johnson emphasized the Christian commandment to love others. It is crucial to understand that love, in the Christian context, does not equate to unconditional approval. Christians are called to love sinners but not to endorse sinful behavior. Tolerance should not be confused with love, as C.S. Lewis aptly wrote.
The Democrats’ attack on Johnson’s faith brings to light their selective targeting of Christians while avoiding criticism towards other religions. Furthermore, the Biden administration’s announcement of a new initiative to combat “Islamophobia” further highlights their biased approach.
Meanwhile, Buttigieg’s involvement in attacking Johnson’s beliefs serves as a distraction from his own shortcomings as Transportation Secretary. His performance has been woeful, marked by incidents such as racist roads and catastrophic train derailments. However, in this administration, failure seems to be the norm, and the key strategy is to deflect responsibility and portray oneself as a victim. Democrats have mastered this tactic.
In conclusion, the Democrats’ use of Buttigieg to criticize Speaker Johnson’s Christian beliefs exposes their inclination to target Christians while avoiding scrutiny of other religions. Buttigieg’s involvement in this attack also serves as a diversion from his own failures as Transportation Secretary. The American people should be wary of these tactics and demand sincere and effective leadership from their elected officials.
