Right-wing commentator and former Trump campaign and White House advisor Steve Bannon torched Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) for bringing the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) to the House floor for a vote on Thursday, mocking Johnson for his frequent references to his Christian faith.

“The NDAA just passed, it just passed. This is Mike Johnson, and don’t tell me you’re a Christian. I don’t want to hear you’re a Christian, don’t wear your faith, don’t give me the Bible, I don’t hear more Bible verse. When you’ve allowed the transgender, you’ve allowed all that garbage, all that demonic trash throughout the defense budget,” began Bannon on his War Room podcast. “You wonder why, you wonder why you can’t get, you wonder why you can’t get, that you can’t get kids, you know, red-blooded American boys and girls to get into the military with what you’ve done in this neo-Marxism and this cultural rot.”

“Now you have taxpayers paying for and almost a trillion dollars and you allowed this to happen. when the commitment, the commitment, if you can’t get the majority, the majority doesn’t go to the floor. The Hastert Rule!” railed Bannon. “But you waive that to get this there because you’re playing footsie with Mitch McConnell, [Chuck] Schumer, and you’re just as bad as the bad guys because you should know better. So I don’t need to hear any more biblical view, okay?”

He continued:

Your intentions don’t matter. The only thing that matters is your human agency and what you deliver. What you deliver. So don’t give me the biblical worldview, I saw it in the NDA [sic], your biblical worldview is manifested there. So don’t do another prayer group. We don’t, I don’t, what I need is Christians at the ramparts prepared to stand in the breach in what we call the gap. It’s not easy. You’re going to get criticized on MSNBC. Mitch McConnell is going to say bad things about you. The donors are going to say this and screw them! You either believe it or you don’t believe it.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) had previously articulated some Republicans’ objections to the NDAA, arguing that it was a “deal made between Speaker Johnson” and Schumer.

“We were appointed to participate to make sure no money for abortion, no money for trans, for members like me standing up for Americans who are sick and tired of funding the Ukraine war, we we had taken the 300 million out of the defense bill. Well, let me tell you what the final product is and the deal that was made,” complained Greene. “That funding is there for abortion travel. The policy is still in place for trans and the military and everything that goes with it. Democrat trans policy, Democrat abortion policy, 300 million for Ukraine is back in the NDAA.”

“This was a total sell-out of conservative principles and a huge win for Democrats,” wrote Greene in a statement. “Congratulations to my colleagues on the other side of the aisle, you should all be excited to vote for this! I’m a HELL NO!”
