Rep. Yassamin Ansari (D-AZ) set up a table outside Speaker Mike Johnson's office to push the claim that he was refusing to swear in Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva (D-AZ) because she would be the final vote needed on a petition to release files related to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
During the Thursday protest, Ansari sat behind a table, which was attached to a sign, reading, "Mike Johnson is starving families and gutting healthcare to cover up the Epstein files... CHANGE MY MIND."
According to Ansari, a staffer from the speaker's office turned up the volume on a nearby television to drown her out.
