On Wednesday's edition of MSNBC's The Briefing with Jen Psaki, the host ripped Speaker Johnson over the moment he was ambushed by Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ), who accused him of covering up for pedophiles:"
"SEN. RUBEN GALLEGO (D), ARIZONA: You don't want to be on Epstein discharge. How much of it's because you're JOHNSON: Totally absurd. You guys are experts in red herrings. (CROSSTALK) GALLEGO: moving along. JOHNSON: It has nothing to do with Epstein, person in committee (CROSSTALK) GALLEGO: You just keep coming up with excuses. This is an excuse so she doesn't sign on to that. JOHNSON: This is absurd. (CROSSTALK)"
Speaker Mike Johnson refused to swear in Rep. Adelita Grijalva after she won a special election to fill her late father's seat, potentially blocking the 218th vote on a discharge petition to release files related to Jeffrey Epstein. Arizona lawmakers pressed Johnson, with Sen. Ruben Gallego accusing him of covering up for pedophiles and linking the swearing-in refusal to avoidance of the Epstein discharge. Johnson called the accusations absurd and defended his position, urging lawmakers to open the government. A television commentator sharply criticized Johnson for appearing to flail while defending President Donald Trump during the confrontation.
