Mike Johnson: “I Had My Feelings Surgically Removed”

“It’s no fun to be lied about and maligned and misquoted. You faced that in your time in service and [in your] career as well. I’ve got a resilient little team here [in my] family. I’m blessed. Kelly is a woman of strong faith. She knows she believes God called us to this.

“And so she’s being sustained by the prayers and support and encouragement of lots of friends and people that we don’t even know around the country are praying for us. All of our kids feel that. They’re not unaccustomed to this either. And we’re going to get through it.

“Look, I’m undaunted by it. I had my feelings surgically removed back in the 1980s, so they can’t hurt my feelings. It’s no fun to have your family attacked in the way they are, but they have a strong sense about why we’re here, and we’re sticking together.

“But we appreciate all those prayers and encouragement of support.” – House Speaker Mike Johnson, in a lengthy interview with hate group leader Tony Perkins.
