Arizona voters elected Adelita Grijalva to Congress on September 23 ( https://www.aol.com/news/democrat-adelita-grijalva-wins-special-030722840.html ) — but it is over a month later and Speaker Mike Johnson refuses to swear her in.
Why?
Republicans elected the same way as Grijalva were sworn in the day after they were elected.
Is this a partisan thing or does the Speaker have another motive?
A likely likely reason seems to be that her vote could force a House vote on releasing the Epstein files ( https://www.loscerritosnews.net/2025/10/13/speaker-johnson-is-protecting-a-pedophile/ )
So far Speaker Mike Johnson has delayed the vote but one more signature would force the vote on this bipartisan petition to produce the Epstein files. Why protect this sexual predator? Or are there other sexual predator(s) he wants to protect?
