John D. Johnson, a public figure active on social media, recently shared several posts addressing developments in Utah politics and academic discourse.
On March 29, 2026, Johnson commented on an unspecified issue by stating, “This would be a great step forward https://t.co/xmRICS8b0a”.
The following day, March 30, he addressed commentary by Taylor Petrey, a religion professor at Kalamazoo College and former editor of Dialogue: A Journal of Mormon Thought. In his post, Johnson wrote: “Taylor Petrey’s Tiny God: When Academic Theory Replaces Revelation
Taylor Petrey teaches religion at Kalamazoo College and recently edited Dialogue. His March 2026 X post claims ‘racism is their tiny god’ for those he labels the ‘LDS white nationalist crowd.’ His complaint? https://t.co/zmrfubQGBG“. Petrey is known for his scholarship on Latter-day Saint theology and culture.
Later that same day, Johnson responded to news regarding political endorsements in Utah’s congressional races. He posted: ” @lindsayonair @BlakeMoore
Speaker Mike Johnson just ‘proudly endorsed’ Blake Moore for Utah’s 1st District …
You know
the one he actually lives in.
Not the one he’s running in (CD2).
Y’all really couldn’t get the district right on the very first big endorsement drop? https://t.co/8PCQWILNxp“. This comment refers to confusion over which congressional district candidate Blake Moore was being endorsed for by Speaker Mike Johnson.
Johnson’s posts reflect ongoing debates within both Utah’s political scene and discussions about religious scholarship related to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
