Mike Johnson struggled to defend his refusal to swear in an elected Democrat. He knows that once she’s sworn in, she’ll sign the petition to release the Epstein files and expose the GOP as a Guardian of Pedophiles.
She then becomes the final signature of the 218 signatures necessary for the petition to force a vote.
Johnson is trying to protect House Republicans from a “no-win situation.”
If they vote to release the files, they anger President Trump. If they vote not to release the files, they anger their voters.
Republicans like Mike Johnson are now doing everything they can to be the party that’s a guardian of pedophiles, protecting them from exposure.
