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. read more

Trump on Wednesday tried to explain the Republican Party's steep election losses this week in part on a failure of language, specifically, a failure to use a "new word." Many blamed the GOP defeat on a mix of Trump's own unpopularity (his approval rating just reached a new low) and consumer frustration at continued inflation.

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?

Sheinbaum did not appear to have any security around her at the time (a perception confirmed by subsequent accounts), which is definitely a huge concern. Even Luis Donaldo Colosio (en.wikipedia.org) had security (maybe) and he's extremely dead.
If someone else has to provide you the "right", it isnt a right.
