Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson has refused to swear in Grijalva, a Democrat, while the government is shut down, leaving the residents of her sprawling southern Arizona district without a vote in Congress — or help back home.
Grijalva would be the decisive 218th member to support a discharge petition and force a House vote on the Epstein files over the objections of Johnson and Trump.
Grijalva has asserted the delay is an attempt to block a vote on the Epstein files. Among her supporters, that’s a given.
Speaker Johnson is a coward. Never seen such a spineless worm of a man in my life.
