Speaker Mike Johnson(@SpeakerJohnson):In 1962, Congress voted to put “In God We Trust” above the Speaker’s rostrum “as a rebuke to the Soviet's philosophy during the Cold War.” What was the Soviet's philosophy? Exactly what we're fighting today: Marxism, communism, socialism. It is a road to human suffering and death. Communism begins with the premise that there is no God. It's anti-American and the OPPOSITE of our founding principles.
