There was very little coverage of it and I thought it deserved attention.

Congratulations, Rep. Grijalva! You’re finally official! It was absolutely galling for me, that you were held in limbo for so long. Just to keep you from doing the job the voters just recently voted to give you.

Glad the Repubs ran out of time before it somehow became a problem for you!
