Mike Johnson Compares Himself to Moses at Christian Gala

“In a keynote speech to a gathering of Christian nationalist lawmakers Tuesday night, House Speaker Mike Johnson compared himself to Moses, leading the GOP conference — and America — through the parted waters of the Red Sea,” Rolling Stone reports.

Said Johnson: “The Lord began to wake me up, through this three-week process, in the middle of night to speak to me.”

He added: “Now at the time, I assumed the Lord is going to choose a new Moses… Ultimately 13 people ran for the post. And the Lord kept telling me to, ‘Wait, wait, wait.’ So I waited, I waited. And then at the end… the Lord said, ‘Now step forward.’”
