‘Why Can’t You Seat Her?’ CNBC Host Grills Mike Johnson Over His Refusal to Seat Democrat Amid Lawsuit Threat
Rebecca Quick confronted House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) over his refusal to seat Democratic Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva amid the threat of a lawsuit from Arizon’s attorney general.

Johnson joined CNBC’s Squawk Box on Thursday morning, where Quick asked the Republican leader why he has not sworn in the elected Democrat after her victory in an Arizona special election.

“I realize Congress is not in session, but it’s been more than 3 weeks, and all the representatives in the House are being paid right now. Why can’t you see her?” Quick asked.
