This is a military wife calling out Mike Johnson on C-SPAN this morning
Yesterday Johnson had the temerity to announce publicly that he will NOT call the House back to pass emergency pay for our troops
Can't imagine why he thought taking callers on C-SPAN would go well for him..

Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files.

Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.

ICE are the terrorizers but somehow we’re being gaslit as an excuse to jail leaders he doesn’t like. He said he’d be a dictator on Day 1 and 77 million were ok with that.
