Speaker Mike Johnson continually professes his Christianity and yet endorses the cruelest and “anti-Jesus” policies that injure people. So, as a Christian, I wrote him a candidly scathing letter urging him to repent and turn from his wickedness. As citizens, we have a Constitutional right to petition our government, and I take that right seriously. Occasionally, I share some of my letters, hoping others will be inspired to write letters, too.

Dear House Speaker Mike Johnson,
As a Christian, I will speak to you in a language you should understand. I ask you to repent and to turn from your wicked ways and to do right by the American people before it is too late. You cannot get to abundant life by hating, lying, killing, stealing and destroying every person with a nationality, gender, or viewpoint different from your own. Where is the love? Many people now equate Christianity with hate and cruelty. That is your Party’s doing!
It’s frustrating as an American citizen who values our Constitution and the rule of law as well as common decency to see today’s Republican Party abandon everything that is helpful for the citizens and the world. We deserve better, not less. I’m also a Christian but I see nothing of the teachings of Christ in your Party, nor in MAGA, nor in you. Jesus said that we will know a tree by the fruit it bears. I see your fruit and that says everything about you and your Party. You stare into cameras and lie on behalf of Trump. Your Party clearly despises the compassion and empathy and free will Jesus stood for. You care nothing about the Constitution. Instead, you endorse personal greed, hate, abuse, and cruelty towards everyone who is not a white male. You allow the most destructive president in the history of our nation to have free reign to harm people and the environment as he enriches himself and his family and friends at our expense. He is clearly an unhinged bully who plasters his name and ugly image everywhere with impunity. Your Party has abdicated its duty. You have broken your oath to uphold the Constitution.
The Republican Party is not concerned with the welfare of the people, but with satisfying the ego and passions of Donald Trump. And to what end? The destruction of the nation and its people? I’m disgusted by your cowardice and/or complicity. How dare you!
I need not spell out the lies coming from your Party that disparage democrats, transgender people, immigrants of color, Muslims, feminists, and people of color while protecting pedophiles and the wealthy. But your accusation that the Democrats are communist is a stupid lie and a blatant fear tactic. Your Party claims to be pro-life, but you care very little about the lives of the living with your policies that allow women to suffer, families to be separated, people to starve, innocents to be gunned down in public, and others to die without access to medical care. Even clean air and water and reliable public health policies are going down the tube. We can’t trust the food we eat nor any health-related statements coming from this White House. The misinformation and anti-science stance endanger us all. And worse, you call yourselves trying to engender patriotism. MAGA look like rabid freaks adoring themselves in red, white, and blue outfits. They feed on lies about America and myths about white superiority. They are clearly delusional and are being cut off from their loved ones because of it.
The more you try to erase history or to rewrite it, the more the actual ugly truth is coming out. Didn’t you learn in Sunday school that Jesus says that it is the truth that sets us free? Or that all things that are hidden will be brought to light? Isn’t this what the Bible tells us? The path for America to heal from its past is not to hide it, but to confess and repent of its past wrongdoings and to do better. Working towards appreciating our diversity, aspiring to equity, and moving towards inclusion was a good thing. But your Party poisons the good with clever misrepresentations and outright lies. You sell being asleep to society’s injustices as a better alternative to being “woke”. You lie and say that women are callously aborting babies in the ninth month or even after they are born. Not true. But one MAGA actually said on camera that California passed a law that babies could be aborted up to 4 weeks after they were born. That lie came from your side of the isle, and you do nothing to correct the record. The devil is the father of lies, and your Party has sided with the devil while wearing the mantel of Christianity. But you are no different than the Taliban. Many of us see you for the hypocrites you have become.
It’s no wonder you need to suppress the vote to maintain power. But it isn’t your power yet; it belongs to Trump and you need to continue to enable his self-serving destruction until you can take over. However, power gained through deception, suppression, and coercion only leads to revolution in a nation of people who value democracy and freedom. You think January 6th was bad. Once Americans see that you offer nothing more than the Taliban with continued corruption, cruelty, incompetence, and cowardice, I would hate to be you.
The time to repent and turn from your wicked ways is now. Don’t wait until patriotic Americans come to take their country back. And if you’re truly a Christian, you believe God will be your judge in the end. And His Word has already revealed the destiny of liars and those who purposefully harm others. I urge you to repent and do better while you still can.
Sincerely,
Dr. Juanita Hall
