- π Arizona Democrat Adelita Grajalva won a special election by 40 points but has not been sworn in by Speaker Mike Johnson.
- π³οΈ Republicans claim the House is not in session, but critics argue this is to prevent Grajalva from becoming the 218th signature needed to force a vote on releasing the Epstein files.
Mike Johnson's "Red Herring" Defense
- π£οΈ When pressed by NBC's Christian Welker, Johnson called the accusations of delaying Grajalva's swearing-in to block the Epstein files vote a "red herring."
- π£ The term "red herring" is explained as a distraction tactic, comparing it to a smoked fish used to throw hunting dogs off scent.
- π Johnson is accused of using religion and moral panics as a shield for corruption and political maneuvering.
Accusations of Hypocrisy and Corruption
- βοΈ Johnson, a self-proclaimed Christian nationalist, is criticized for hypocrisy, pushing legislation to control citizens' lives while engaging in "scandalous" power plays.
- βοΈ While federal workers face furloughs and essential workers labor without pay due to the shutdown, Johnson and his caucus are described as being on a "taxpayer-funded vacation."
- ποΈ The speaker is accused of using "culture wars" and procedural tactics like shutdowns and delays to block votes and distract from the real issues.
The "Project 2025" Blueprint

Johnson as the "Distraction"
