Mike Johnson: DEI Is Part of Dem Shutdown Agenda

As Senate Democrats on Tuesday voted for the 13th time to reject a clean continuing resolution (CR) that would reopen the federal government, House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., says DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion) policies are fueling the Democrats’ strategy.

Johnson said in a release that DEI demands are solidly implanted in what Democrats say they need to be approved to reopen the government.

Johnson said among the Democratic demands is “$4 million for global LGBTQI+ awareness campaigns around the world.”
