Dallas Mayor’s Stunning Revelation Behind Party Flip
Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson recently attributed his decision to switch his party affiliation from Democrat to Republican partly to his Christian faith. Johnson, who presides over one of the nation’s largest cities and the third-largest in Texas, discussed his party switch on the “Verdict with Ted Cruz” podcast.
The mayor, an African American, described his transition as an “evolution” stemming from his personal identity and struggles within the Democratic Party. He highlighted his upbringing in a deeply religious family, where church played a central role. Johnson reminisced about spending considerable time in church during his childhood, emphasizing the strong influence of his family’s faith.
While acknowledging his family’s apolitical stance, Johnson credited them with instilling strong moral values, including a sense of justice and respect for the law. He expressed feeling at odds with the Democratic Party’s ideology, suggesting that as an African American, he felt compelled to align with the party but found himself in conflict with its beliefs.
Johnson criticized the Democratic Party’s view that individual outcomes are primarily determined by factors beyond one’s control, such as race or socioeconomic status. He rejected this narrative, asserting his belief in personal responsibility and the importance of hard work. Johnson highlighted the discrepancy between his upbringing, which emphasized personal agency, and the Democratic Party’s rhetoric.
The mayor announced his party switch in a Wall Street Journal op-ed in September 2023, making Dallas the largest city in the U.S. led by a Republican. Johnson’s decision reflects his personal convictions and the culmination of a journey shaped by his faith, upbringing, and beliefs about individual responsibility.
Praise the Lord!! Finally one who comes along who has seen the light! May the Lord, by His eternal wisdon, protect him from the wiles of the wicked!
What a brave & honest man. Christianity is being attacked in to many places. Democrats want Socialism, to control and bind American citizens to their warped ideologys. LA,CA closed Churches & left strip clubs open during the COVID pandemic. Biden opened our borders during the COVID pandemic. Wake up to the putred smell of dirty politics Democrats are spewing every day it’s a game to them, they enjoy playing. And been for to long
