Yoho Won't Apologize For 'Loving His God'

“I cannot apologize for my passion or for loving my God, my family, and my country,”


No one is asking you to apologize for loving God, Congressman Yoho.

As a person who claims the mantle of Christianity, you might want to apologize to Jesus.

Matthew 5:22

But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.


Those are words from the founding document of Mr. Yoho's religion. Speaking as a cynic of religion, I reserve my judgement for the virtue signalling associated with Mr. Yoho's supposed courage in declaring his faith.

Unlike Stephen the Martyr, you won't suffer a barrage of rocky missiles for declaring your association with the Christian faith, Mr. Yoho. You don't deserve brownie points for loving your family or a Medal of Honor for loving your country.

The majority of the human race feels love for their individual families and every single person you despise in Congress is there because they love their country. They wouldn't be putting in the effort to work along side of you if they didn't.

And--not to take anything away from Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez--but George Floyd undoubtedly loved his family. He left behind a daughter and he called out for his mother with his last breath. Lt. Col Alexander Vindman loves his country. That's why he chose to serve in our military. And that's why he chose to risk his military career to speak Truth to Powder and honor our democracy.

You may have tried to position yourself as a brave stalwart of decency and righteousness when you chose to evoke God, Family and Country in your statement regarding your recent behavior, Mr. Yoho. But the truth is, when you were asked to do something difficult--namely, own up to your words and actions--you betrayed yourself for the hypocritical coward that you are.

1. This belongs on every editorial page.

[TheBlackAdder]

47. "His God" That sounds so condescending from a Super Christian, implying there are more than one.

[Mike Nelson]

2. Well...

... God did not put those words in his mouth... he should realize they were channeled from a much lower source.

[rzemanfl]

3. K&R. My response is-

[Autumn]

4. So it was your god who told you to call AOC a "fucking bitch"?

How nice of him.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

27. This

[The Wizard]

33. The Devil made him do it.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

45. It was on the third stone of commandments,

Thou shalt name thine opposing party's females with insults and disrespect most foul.

[Polly Hennessey]

5. He sounds like a dangerous lunatic.

God, family, and country is a dead giveaway for defining a miserable, psycho lump of humanity.

[Blue_true]

42. Hell, he is not even your congressman and you seem to know him.

Unfortunately, that dangerous lunatic is my congressman. Hopefully, we get better in November, but being in a red district, I am not optimistic.

6. As i've posted elsewhere, In Yahoo's world loving God is a cover for male domination.

So in this sick logic demeaning a woman with slurs is OK. There's an expression: "What you're filled with inside will overflow to the outside." This type of misogynist, abusive behavior towards women doesn't just happen. It's nurtured. Men usually mirror their fathers' bad behavior. We've yet to see Yahoo's wife & daughters come out in his defense and i don't doubt during his growing up years he probably witnessed his dad call his mom such pejoratives. It's likely that's the kind of language he subjects his wife & daughters to at home.

[Delmette2.0]

8. This!

[Salviati]

7. These people "love" god like a stalker "loves" their victim.

[Blue_true]

43. Very good abolish. And both make up fantasies about being wanted by the object of their stalking. n

[Freethinker65]

9. Yoho's God supports calling strong women that voice their opinions "fu$king bitches"?

My god supports calling Yoho a pandering ignorant misogynistic piece of shit.

[tanyev]

10. That's not God.

[SWBTATTReg]

11. You, Mr. Yoho, are a coward through and through. Nothing else to say other than 'man up' and ...

admit you're wrong, and apologize. What an outstanding character trait to pass along to the members of your own family and your voters, who now seen you in the harsh light of reality when you caught red handed.

I seriously think that you need to be thrown out of office, since you seem to have hostility towards quite a few people. Hostility doesn't make bills or get things negotiated to a fair and equable agreement among all players in a conference room and that's one of the main purposes you're there in Washington, DC, to negotiate bills on behalf of all of your voters.

Do the job you were sent to Washington DC for.

Or resign. Show everybody that you can be a man and do the right thing, but unfortunately, I don't think this is going to happen, being that your entire republican party seems to be stuck in "I know I'm wrong but being the d**khead I'm am, I'll never admit I'm wrong!".

[Sneederbunk]

12. God is keeping book on Ted.

[mountain grammy]

13. Doesn't the Bible say

If a woman is smarter than the man, she’s a fucking bitch?

The Word, according to trump.

[ehrnst]

14. Yoho tried for a Red herring AND Attacking a Strawman. A Twofer!

Such an asshole.

[blakstoneranger]

15. OH PLEASE, PUT A MAN ON HIM

I'll bet dollars to donuts he's having an affair on his wife and it's probably with a man.

[warmfeet]

16. Yahoo is human garbage

and proved it with his choice of words. He should resign in shame. That won't happen, I get it, but it should happen. Repiggies have no shame. They do what they want, say what they want without anticipation of regret or consequence - they face neither.

[Grins]

17. Oh, FFS! That's "The Otter Defense".

For some, see the movie, “Animal House”.

[paleotn]

40. Perfect. That's exactly what it is.

[Mariana]

50. The Otter Defense:

&t=19s

[Botany]

18. Did you see the straw man fishing for the red herring?

Talk about trying to change the subject Mr. Yoho. From his calling A.O.C. a fucking bitch to
his belief in a deity as the real subject.




Why did I know he would look like this?

[Progressive Jones]

19. Many cowards and frauds hide behind the "God" thing. Yoho is typical of that.

"Love Of God" never impresses me, even when it may seem sincere.

[bringthePaine]

20. idol worshipper, idle lickspittle, punk ass loser...ha! this is easy!

[Dios Mio]

21. You sir, are full of crap.

[Joinfortmill]

22. Even his "god" knows he's an asshole.

[Tommymac]

23. Another 'Moral' Christian.

I am agnostic and it's twisted 'Christians' like him that make me never ever want to become one.

Apologies to those Christians who practice what their founder preached.

[Dios Mio]

24. His wiff

is the only female he has ever fooled I bet.

[matt819]

25. This is brilliant

Not a fan of religion, and I love it people with more knowledge of the scriptures use them to turn on the so-called true believers. Who almost certainly haven't read the bible from cover to cover.

[packman]

26. Won't he be surprised !

[ancianita]

28. God knows a fucking bitch when she sees one.

[Mustellus]

29. Thats the Jesus who died on the cross.....

from burning to death.

[flibbitygiblets]

30. Hate to break it to Yo, but he ain't a fan

[47of74]

31. Lots of the New T are redacted in the GOP version

Especially those pesky words in red.

Especially ones like these

Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and the measure you give will be the measure you get. Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye. (Matt 7:1-5)

[KentuckyWoman]

32. And the Lord sayeth, Call her a fucking bitch for she be uppity.

You have to understand Yoko's bible is covered in dust - kinda like his heart.

[ck4829]

34. What does that even mean? Is Yoho's god actually poverty?

[central scrutinizer]

41. Mammon

[DallasNE]

35. His God Is What The Rest Of Us Call Money n/t

[Collimator]

37. The passion that Right Wingers

display towards money is fascinating given that the Bible they claim to follow specifically states that the love of money is the root of all evil.

Please note: that's the "love of" ,not the substance itself. Other Bible trivia for the uninformed (often those who purport to follow it closely) is that there is no mention of an apple in the story of The Fall and the last book of the Christian Bible is named "Revelation", singular, not "Revelations".

Sorry for pontificating, but those are little peeves of mine.

[hunter]

36. Yoho's god lives in his pants.

Women who reject him make him small.

Like cold water.

[czarjak]

38. Way to keep the faith, Tedster.

[paleotn]

39. God is just a dodge for these people ....

They don't give shit about god, their families or their country. This group of trash would sell their mothers for power and cash. Don't believe one goddamn thing they say.

[Iggo]

44. What part of loving your god covers calling a woman a fucking bitch?

[jmowreader]

46. Yoho's god is named Donald Trump

[TexasBushwhacker]

48. I really love that she riles so many people up n/t

[Collimator]

49. Her direct, often blunt speech is part of her appeal.

Of course, when she does it, she is a "fucking bitch". When Donald Trump does it, he is the God-ordained President.
