Mike Johnson slanders Grijalva as "not doing her job,"

which she can't do because he refuses to swear her in!

https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/trump-speaker-slams-newly-elected-143847226.html

"House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) slammed Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva (D-Ariz.) for not working for her constituents — but there is one major issue holding her back.

Grijalva won her special election in Arizona last month to replace her late father, former Rep. Raúl Grijalva. Since then, Johnson has declined to swear her into Congress, demanding that Senate Democrats reopen the government before he swears her into the lower chamber."

For instance, "Mr. Johnson it doesn't cost a penny to swear her in."
Meanwhile Noem gets two jets worth $172 million and we have so much weaponry we are shooting at our own country in California and putting up huge banners with couch abuser's face as if he has something to do with the 250th anniversary of the military.

Fellow Christians must be so proud of him. I guess when you sell your soul you might as well sell all of it.
