Mike Johnson was covering up child rape a full year before Pam Bondi made it trendy.
The House Ethics Committee found that Matt Gaetz sex trafficked minors.
He raped minors.
He paid minors for sex.
And Mike Johnson kept the report sealed.
This was the man they wanted to be Attorney General.
…don’t you realize they’re covering for Trump?
Release the files.

Duglof has Epidermolysis Bullosa, or EB. His skin is fragile, causing it to tear easily.
He came to the US for specialized treatment and followed the process.
He is not a criminal.

‘You don’t have the privilege to be exhausted’: Jon Meacham reflects on this moment in history
The freedom that we enjoy today is the outcome of years – if not decades – of struggle. We’ve been in a period of relative peace, but the upheaval of the past year has jostled many Americans out of stupor, especially following the recent shooting of Renee Good in a city that has been overrun by federal officers. Renowned presidential historian Jon Meacham gives Ali Velshi a sober analysis of this moment in American history. “I don’t know if it’s likely we’ll prevail,” he says. “All I have is the evidence of our past which is that we have, just barely, managed to keep this experiment towards this more perfect union unfolding.”
