He was anxious to meetup with his GRINDER date!!!!!
A guy's gotta have his priorities, and Mike's are "below the waist"!
AI Overview
The controversy involving House Speaker Mike Johnson and the LGBTQ+ dating app Grindr stems from unverified rumors circulated on social media, especially TikTok. In late September 2025, a TikTok user threatened to release Johnson's alleged Grindr profile and IP address to pressure him into taking political action regarding the Jeffrey Epstein files. No evidence has been provided to support these claims, which have been widely reported as unconfirmed allegations.
Key points of the controversy
The initial rumors: Claims that Mike Johnson, a Republican known for his socially conservative views and opposition to LGBTQ+ rights, had a profile on the gay dating app Grindr have been circulating online since at least early 2025. There has never been credible evidence to substantiate these rumors.
The TikToker's demand: The story gained significant traction in September 2025 when a TikTok user threatened to "doxx" Johnson by releasing his alleged Grindr profile and IP address.
Political motivation: The TikTok user demanded that Johnson swear in newly elected Democratic Representative Adelita Grijalva of Arizona. Grijalva's swearing-in is significant because she would be the final signature needed on a discharge petition to force a House vote on the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files.
Response from Democrats: House Democrats have accused Johnson of intentionally delaying Grijalva's swearing-in to prevent the vote on the Epstein files. In response, Johnson's office has stated that the swearing-in would occur when the House returns to session, in line with standard practice.
Threats remain unconfirmed: As of late September 2025, the TikTok user has not followed through on the threat to release the supposed Grindr profile and IP address, leaving the allegations unconfirmed. The incident has, however, brought attention to other recent controversies involving Speaker Johnson, including accusations regarding his handling of budget issues and campaign finance.
By the standards of the modern Republican party, we don't NEED NO FUCKING EVIDENCE!
