They're not even trying when they lie.

RAJU: You swore in 2 GOP members during pro forma session. Why not swear in Grijalva? Does it have to do w/her signature on Epstein petition?

JOHNSON: It has nothing to do with that. We'll swear her in when everybody is back

R: Why not now?

J: Uh - we'll schedule it, I guess, as soon as she wants

So they say whatever the fuck they feel like.

PS I had no idea how tiny Lil Johnson is. Compared to his peers, he barely reached their shoulders.

We continue to have no representation since her father passed sway. That guy is just as bad as the guy he is brown nosing!
