The far right is mad at Mike Johnson for suggesting that his adopted black son was treated differently than his biological white son.

He's really far right, a Jim Jordan acolyte. The MAGA wing is extremely happy with him. This is just some guy being extra racist, doesn't make Johnson a moderate or anything.
That's kind of the story, though.
The modern GOP has such intense, strict purity tests that no one can satisfy them anymore. Pointing out an uncontroversial fact about the real world – for example, that his black son is going to face more challenges than his white son because of unfairness built into society – is enough to potentially crucify him even when he's otherwise a extremist.
Just another clear indication of the fascism that is cornerstone to their movement.

It's not just one critic though, it's several of the more prominent right-wing media personalities. I doubt it has legs, but it's scary to see how much vitriol they have against this guy who ticks 99% of their boxes.
