Adelita Grijalva has learned that there are many things that an elected official has to deal with

Guessing that "moving goal posts" were never one of those things.

From Grijalva's campaign -

From CNN, dated 10/7 -

Speaker Johnson said he’d swear in new House Democrat 

‘as soon as she wants.’ Now Republicans are backtracking

Speaker Mike Johnson is not planning to allow Democrats’ newest congresswoman-elect to be sworn-in until her party agrees to end the government shutdown, despite telling CNN earlier Tuesday that he would swear her in “as soon as she wants.”

“We will swear in Rep.-Elect [Adelita] Grijalva as soon as the House returns to session when Chuck Schumer, Mark Kelly and Ruben Gallego decide to open up the government,” a leadership aide said Tuesday.

The move amounts to an extraordinary power play to deny a sitting member a seat.

Update: Johnson now intends to keep the House out of session for at least another week, thru 10/19.

Johnson seems to be auditioning for the title of "PedoProtector in Chief."

Pretty sure Pam Bondi has a lock on that one.

The at leaves "Assistant PedoProtector in Chief," but Kash Patel seems to have the edge there.

Evidently, that leaves "Deputy Assistant PedoProtector in Chief" as the highest title that Johnson can aspire to, and he's aspiring his ass off. 

Grijalva and the unrepresented people of AZ7 see to be collateral damage in his quest.
