Democratic strategist and liberal redneck James Carville warned that the new Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson and other “Christian nationalists” pose a greater threat to the country than al-Qaeda.
I should end this article right here because saying that Mike Johnson is a greater threat to the US than al-Qaeda is one of the most ridiculous things Carville has ever said. And that’s saying something because he has said a lot of radically ridiculous things over the years.
Carville was asked about Johnson, who is from his home state of Louisiana, while appearing as a panelist on Bill Maher’s “Overtime” segment.
“Mike Johnson and what he believes is one of the greatest threats we have today to the United States,” Carville said on Friday to Maher. “I promise you, I know these people.”
It’s amazing how the communists in the Democratic Party think that if they just “say it,” then whatever their narrative becomes true in the eyes of their ignorant voter base. Sadly, that’s about how it is these days.
It is incredibly irresponsible to say something like that. Chester James Carville knows better.

“Absolutely,” Carville said. “This is a bigger threat than al-Qaeda to this country.” I think James Carville is a bigger threat to Christianity.
“And let me tell you something: The Speaker of the House, they got probably at least two Supreme Court justices, maybe more. Don’t kid yourself,” he went on to say. “People in the press have no idea who this guy is… This is a fundamental threat to the United States. It is a fundamental thing. [They] don’t believe in the Constitution. They’ll tell you that. Mike Johnson himself says what is democracy but two wolves and a lamb having lunch? That’s what they really, really, really believe.”
At least he did ask, “Where’s my gumbo?”
“And to say, ‘Oh, come on, man. It’s just some crazy s—.’ No, no. They believe that. And they’re coming and they’ve been doing it forever. They’re funded. They’re funded. They’re relentless and, you know, they probably won’t win for a while but they might. And if they do, the whole country blows a gasket,” he added.
This was out-and-out religious bigotry. The main difference between Christian nationalists from other Christians is that they believe the words of the Bible came from God. They hold that although men wrote the Bible, God gave them the words.
We now know that the Democrats are going to use religious publicity to try to take down Mike Johnson’s agenda as House Speaker. The Democrats must have done focus group testing and learned that the word “nationalist” is a trigger word for lefties. Liberals are stupid enough to equate populist nationalists with the Nazis’ national socialists, even though the two are opposites in ideology.
Maher has been pretty public about his dislike for Johnson. On Friday, during his “Real Time” closing monologue, he chastised him for his “religious fanaticism” and accused him of “rooting for the end of the world so we can get on with the Rapture.”
“Mike thinks God personally chooses, raises up our leaders, which is a very dangerous thought because then when you lose an election you think it’s just another of God’s tricks to test your faith,” Maher said to the audience. “Mike says we began as a Christian nation. We didn’t. Did you miss that day in homeschool, Mike? If you don’t know that the Pilgrims came here to get away from the Church of England, then you don’t know, literally, the first thing about our country.”
Maher went on, “Mike says being a Christian nation is our tradition and it’s who we are as a people. It’s not. We’re the people who have a First Amendment which says ‘Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion.’ And we have an Article Six which says ‘no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office.’ So I take these people at their word when they say that they think we should be Christian nationalists. But then they have to take John Adams at his word when he wrote, ‘The government of the United States of America is not in any sense, founded on the Christian religion.’”
Last month, Maher reiterated Carville’s assessment, claiming Johnson “exactly sounds like bin Laden,” citing the Speaker’s remarks at a prayer meeting in which he declared, “depraved America deserves God’s wrath.”
He compared Johnson to the Maine mass shooter who killed 18 people and injured 13 more in October.
“When you’re this much of a religious fanatic, there is no room for real democracy. That’s not what you believe in. He said it today. ‘Look in the Bible. That’s my world view,'” Maher stated during the panel discussion. “And I was reading about this horrible shooting in Maine. And, you know, we don’t know much about the guy yet, but apparently he heard voices and I thought ‘Is he that different than Mike Johnson?’”
“I mean, degree? Yes. But it’s thinner than you’d think?” Maher continued.
