The Constitution does not specify Who must give the oath to an incoming Representative (or other official). We don’t need Mike Johnson or any other GOP protector of child rapists.

Have AOC swear in the new Rep and put all the sex offenders and accomplices in jail.

"I simply cannot credit [the Trump administration's] declarations to the extent they contradict state and local law enforcement. … DHS' perception of events are simply unreliable."
