It’s absolutely infuriating that Speaker Mike Johnson tried to suppress release of the Gaetz report. Trump, the head of the Republican Party is also a rapist — and the entire GOP is rife with raging misogyny. Crime after crime is excused as they defy the law and seize increasing degrees of power.

Congratulations to Mike Johnson for trying to pressure the House Ethics Committee into burying a report that found the then-nominee for attorney general had engaged in sexual activity with a minor. Party of Family Values, am I right?

This is like calling a riot a protest or calling an insurrection a tourist visit. It's a way of excusing bad behavior. #DemVoice1
