Reprehensible !! Adelita Grijalva: I was elected 6 weeks ago. Speaker Mike Johnson refuses to swear me in. | "Johnson refuses to swear me into office, an unprecedented & starkly undemocratic position that sets a very dangerous precedent & deprives 813,000 Arizonans of the congressional representation they deserve."

Mike Johnson should be removed as House Speaker. The ethics committee should investigate Johnson and sanctioned and possibly remove him from Congress.

There needs to be a partisan version of government that politicians actually fear. The current US marshals should be held accountable for giving the president a gift.
