Rep. Angie Craig of Minnesota used her vote to wish her wife a happy wedding anniversary in defiance of the anti-LGBTQ+ Rep's bid for House Speaker—and got a standing ovation from her Democratic colleagues.

Newly-minted House Speaker Mike Johnson was mere minutes from ascending to the coveted position before he was trolled by one of his Democratic colleagues—who used her vote to wish her wife a happy wedding anniversary in defiance of Johnson's virulently anti-LGBTQ+ record.

Despite Johnson's election through a party-line vote of 220 to 209, the Democrats opted to nominate House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries for Speaker, prompting out Minnesota Representative Angie Craig to stick the knife in a little bit.


When called upon to express her choice, she seized the moment to not only endorse Jeffries for the top position but also to acknowledge an important individual in her life on the occasion of their 15th wedding anniversary: her wife, Cheryl Greene.

She enthusiastically declared "Happy wedding anniversary to my wife" just before she cast her vote in favor of Jeffries, receiving a standing ovation.

She also posted the video of the moment to X, formerly Twitter, with the following message:

"Mike Johnson spent his legal career fighting against same-sex marriage, adoption and marital benefits. Now he’s brought that fight to Congress."
"Proud to vote against him on my 15th anniversary with my wife, Cheryl."
"[Johnson], enjoy it while it lasts — it won't be long."

You can watch the moment in the video below.

Many praised her for speaking out.



Earlier in the day Craig had posted a photographic tribute to her wife, emphasizing her gratitude for sharing life's journey with her.

Johnson has come under scrutiny for his historical use of strong anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric.

Johnson authored several editorials that were published in his local newspaper, The Times, of Shreveport, Louisiana. In these writings, he characterized homosexuality as an "inherently unnatural" and "dangerous lifestyle," expressing concerns that it might lead to the legalization of pedophilia and even pose a threat to the democratic system as a whole.

In one of these controversial editorials, he said "homosexuality and cross-dressing are things you do" and emphasized that although the country allows freedom of choice, it does not necessarily grant special protections for what he referred to as "bizarre choices."

At the time, Johnson served as an attorney and spokesperson for the Alliance Defense Fund, which is known today as Alliance Defending Freedom. He also authored his opposition to the Supreme Court's ruling in Lawrence v. Texas, a landmark case that invalidated state laws criminalizing consensual homosexual activity among adults.

Dr. Oz Slammed For Tone Deaf Health Advice For Americans On Medicaid And Medicare

Dr. Mehmet Oz—now the administrator for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services—was criticized after he offered Americans unsolicited health advice during a Fox News appearance, saying that Americans shouldn't "eat carrot cake" as millions face cuts to their government-funded health insurance.

The passage of President Donald Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill" will cause 17 million people to lose valuable Medicare and Medicaid coverage. Under the bill, individuals earning just above the federal poverty line would be required to start paying out of pocket for certain Medicaid services, such as doctor visits and lab tests.

Adam Schiff Calls Out The Real Reason Trump Is Accusing Him Of 'Fraud'—And Yeah, That Tracks

California Democratic Senator Adam Schiff fired back at President Donald Trump after Trump accused Schiff of "possible mortgage fraud" in a Truth Social post—prompting Schiff to point out that Trump's attack is another attempt to take attention away from Trump's association with the late financier, pedophile, and sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.

Trump, without citing evidence, said Fannie Mae’s financial crimes division found that Schiff had a “sustained pattern of possible Mortgage Fraud" that involved misstating which home Schiff used as a primary residence, allowing him to secure a cheaper mortgage.
