Since Abby Johnson will be appearing at the RNC, I think it would be wise to post a primer on who she is, her history of abusive and racist behavior, and other reasons why she& #39;s problematic. This will be a potentially very long thread... 1/x
It all started when Abby Johnson defended the overt white nationalist Kristen Hatten and acted as though she didn& #39;t know "Alt Right" meant "white nationalist." She apologized for her mistake later, and that& #39;s when it got weird. 2/x https://www.patheos.com/blogs/steelmagnificat/2018/04/you-cant-be-both-pro-life-and-alt-right/">https://www.patheos.com/blogs/ste...
Just over a year later, she had a meltdown and started tweeting incredibly racist things at a Black Protestant bishop for absolutely no reason. 3/x https://www.patheos.com/blogs/steelmagnificat/2019/09/10308/">https://www.patheos.com/blogs/ste...
When she was asked to apologize for this behavior, Abby Johnson started randomly libeling a Benedictine monk she didn& #39;t even know, who is Filipino. 4/x https://www.patheos.com/blogs/steelmagnificat/2019/10/10329/">https://www.patheos.com/blogs/ste...
Then, in a very funny punch line, it turned out that the Protestant bishop was actually pro-life all along and that his church ran pregnancy centers and everything. 5/x https://www.patheos.com/blogs/steelmagnificat/2019/10/10392/">https://www.patheos.com/blogs/ste...
Several months later, during the Black Lives Matter protests, she posted a long video saying horrible things about her biracial son and claiming that violence against Black people is brought on Black people by themselves thanks to "bad dads." 6/x https://www.patheos.com/blogs/steelmagnificat/2020/06/my-response-to-abby-johnsons-shocking-racist-manifesto/">https://www.patheos.com/blogs/ste...
Next she came out and admitted that she& #39;d lied about her son being Black in the first place, or at least that& #39;s what she appeared to do, maybe there& #39;s some other explanation. 7/x https://www.patheos.com/blogs/steelmagnificat/2020/07/what-if-we-re-thought-the-pro-life-movement/">https://www.patheos.com/blogs/ste...
And this is all prescinding from the fact that Abby Johnson& #39;s conversion story on which she bases her entire living has been thoroughly debunked by investigative reporters and is highly unlikely to be true. 8/x

So, that& #39;s about the size of it. This is the pro-life speaker the RNC chose to represent them: an abusive, narcissistic, overt racist with an extremely dubious conversion story who makes bank on pretending to be sorry. I& #39;ll pass.

Oh, and I forgot to add: she doesn& #39;t believe in a married women& #39;s right to vote either. https://twitter.com/kathrynw5/status/1298403963373461505">https://twitter.com/kathrynw5...
And as I seem to be going viral, please observe the tip jar at the bottom of any of my blog posts in that thread. I actually live on gratuities from people who like my writing. Thank you!
