Over 12K sign Christian petition condemning "false prophet" Mike Johnson
In response to Mike Johnson recently becoming the new House speaker, over 12,000 people have signed a Christian petition condemning the congressman as a "false prophet" among other Republican Party members.
Faithful America, an online Christian group that supports social justice causes, released their second-annual "False Prophets Don't Speak for Me" campaign featuring a list of top Christian-nationalist leaders in both church and politics along with a petition on Tuesday. The list, which in addition to Johnson, identifies former President Donald Trump, pastor Mark Burns, self-proclaimed prophet affiliated with the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) Julie Green, Fox News host Laura Ingraham, Ohio Representative Jim Jordan, conservative activist and radio talk show host Charlie Kirk, pastor Jackson Lahmeyer, Texas' Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick, Archbishop Carlo Viganò, self-proclaimed prophet affiliated with NAR Lance Wallnau, and co-founder of Moms for Liberty and school board chair in Sarasota, Florida, Bridget Ziegler as "false prophets."

12k just doesn't seem like a newsworthy amount.
He wouldn't give a shit if it was 12 million. He wouldn't give a shit if every person on Earth including his wife and kids signed it. Because Republicans don't give a shit about anyone but themselves.
Honestly it’s higher than I expected.
Something like 40% of Christians in the US are Democrats, then a good portion are independents. Christian Nationalists are not different only in volume and tenacity from other Christians, they outright believe different things.
Petitions, and articles about petitions, mean nothing. It's not like the GOP will see this and do anything.
It's not newsworthy.
