In a clip resurfaced by liberal political groups, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson tells a Louisiana congregation in 2016 that mass shootings are the result of no-fault divorce, feminism, abortion, and other expansions of social rights that took place in the 20th century.
The Louisiana representative, elected to Congress the same year he gave the sermon, traced the roots of this “chaos” to the cultural revolutions of the 1960s and ‘70s.
Note: Mr. Johnson has long opposed new gun control measures, including a measure passed last year that expanded background checks, provided grants for crisis-intervention laws, and funded mental health services.
“America’s problem is not guns. America’s problem is a heart problem,” he said during floor debate about the law.
