Jen Psaki, former White House press secretary and now MSNBC host, is putting the spotlight on Mike Johnson, the new Republican Speaker of the House.

On her show “Inside with Jen Psaki,” she called him a “religious fundamentalist.”

At first, Psaki seemed somewhat neutral, noting Johnson’s mainstream look and past work across the aisle.

But her tone changed after she aired a clip where Johnson calls himself a “Bible-believing Christian.”

In that clip, Johnson said, “Well, go pick up a Bible off your shelf and read it. That’s my worldview.”

Psaki didn’t mince words in her response: “You heard that right. The Bible doesn’t just inform his worldview, it is his worldview.”

Psaki took her critique a step further in an MSNBC article.

She warned that Johnson’s brand of politics is fused with his faith.

She wrote, “It’s not just his political ideology that should scare us. Johnson is basically a Christian fundamentalist.”

Public opinion on Johnson is split, especially among Democrats on the issue of mixing faith with politics.

On the social media platform X, previously known as Twitter, many conservatives are applauding Johnson for being open about his faith.

However, some liberals say he’s crossing a line, accusing him of violating both the U.S. Constitution and the New Testament by openly invoking God in Congress.

After becoming Speaker, Johnson was candid about his views in a speech to Congress.

He said, “I don’t believe there are any coincidences in a matter like this. I believe that Scripture and the Bible is very clear that God is the one that raises up those in authority. He raised up each of you, all of us.”

Johnson added “I believe that each one of us has a huge responsibility today to use the gifts that God has given us to serve the extraordinary people of this great country and they deserve it.”
