Waiting for Johnson…

Adelina Grijalva: I was elected 6 weeks ago. Speaker Mike Johnson refuses to swear me in. It's time for House Speaker Mike Johnson to end his vacation and get back to the work that the American people elected us to do.

Six weeks ago, I was elected to Congress. I'm still waiting to be sworn in.

House Speaker Mike Johnson's recess of the U.S. House of Representatives during a time of grave national crises is shockingly irresponsible. House Republicans have been on vacation for six weeks while our economy crumbles, federal workers go without paychecks, health care premiums skyrocket and funding for food stamps dwindles. This is negligent and cruel.

Millions of Americans will suffer if these issues are not immediately addressed, and thanks to Speaker Johnson, the House remains in recess. While Republicans refuse to do their job

Arizona's 7th Congressional District, which Grijalva was elected to represent, is bigger than Rhode Island, Delaware, Hawaii, Connecticut and New Jersey together, runs 300 miles along the US- Mexico border, and contains a population which breaks down as 59.8% Hispanic, 28.5% White, 3.9% Black, 3.0% Native American, 2.5% two or more races, 1.9% Asian, 0.6% other (en.wikipedia.org).

Does anyone really believe Mike Johnson would have had a problem swearing in Grijalva if she was a MAGAt from a 59.8% White, 28.5% Hispanic district?

He is violating the Constitution to protect pedophiles and one particular pedophile.

There needs to be a reckoning when he is relegated to minority leader.
