Ex-White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki openly has blasted new House Speaker Mike Johnson for his Christian faith, exhibiting what one commentator has described as "open discrimination based on his religious faith.'

Psaki's diatribe came as she told people what she thinks about Johnson this weekend:

Oddly, she targets his faith as she points out how reasonable he likely is.

"First glance, Mike Johnson does seem fine. Fine-ish. Conservative, yes. But he once started a civility caucus with a Democrat. And I mean, if nothing else, he wears a suit and has glasses. How threatening can this guy actually be?" she charges.

Then a clip of Johnson appears in which he states: "I am a Bible-believing Christian. Someone asked me today in the media, they said, well, it’s curious. People are curious, what does Mike Johnson think about any issue under the sun? I said, Well, go pick up a Bible off your shelf and read it. That’s my world view."

Psaki's editorializing?

"You heard that right. The Bible doesn’t just inform his worldview, it is his worldview."

And she claims that makes him "divisive."

Fox News characterized Psaki as having "bashed" Johnson.

And it reported, "In an article for MSNBC, Psaki warned her audience that Johnson is a scary speaker for more than just his political beliefs. 'Most Americans might not be able to pick Mike Johnson out of a lineup, but in reality he’s far from benign,' Psaki wrote."

She said Americans should be scared of his political ideology – and also because he's "a Christian fundamentalist."

The report cited Johnson's decision not to hide his Christianity, and said, "While conservatives on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, have praised Johnson for wearing his Christianity on his sleeve in his new role, some liberals argued that he is offending the 'Constitution and the New Testament' with his appeal to God inside the House chamber."
