The no-holds-barred attack zeroed in on Johnson’s right-wing Christian nationalism — which Carville said showed a level of “breathtaking hypocrisy.”
“Johnson has no skill, no background, no majority to speak of,” Carville, the Democratic consultant credited with leading Bill Clinton’s presidential campaign, told The Guardian in an article published Saturday.

“What Johnson does represent is a level of breathtaking hypocrisy. His anti-homosexuality and young earthism are hypocrisy on steroids.”
Johnson is a fundamentalist Christian who subscribes to “young earthism” — the creationist view that the earth is 6,000 years old — and right-wing religious opinions.
He won the speakership last month after rounds of Republican infighting sank the hopes of other House GOPers, including Jim Jordan (OH).
Carville, a practicing Catholic, has challenged the speaker to debate him at Louisiana Christian University, a Southern Baptist school in their state. He says Christian nationalism goes against the core of the faith.
