Is this real?

Yes. He's a former ADF lawyer, proper Christian nutjob. They say things like this. They believe this.

I've really been in a tail spin over it. It is fucking bad.

They believe they need to "save" the rest of us from ourselves. Their (his) world view (2 people from the presidency) is pure hubris. Johnson thinks he knows better than everyone else. He's "ordained by god." Its revolting.

“The Bible is very clear that God is the one that raises up those in authority,” he said. “He raised up each of you, all of us. And I believe that God has ordained and allowed each one of us to be brought here for this specific moment.” -Johnson when he accepted the Speakership.

Good of him to accept that Joe Biden has been ordained by God! Surely now he will pay the proper respects and fall in line.
