House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-Louisiana) denied a request to allow the late Jesse Jackson to lie in honor at the U.S. Capitol, drawing a rebuke from the NAACP civil rights organization.
“Mike Johnson will defend a president who wants to unlawfully nationalize elections but won’t authorize a civil rights legend to lie in honor,” said NAACP National President Derrick Johnson. “That tells you everything you need to know about Mike Johnson and his gross disregard for our Constitution and our democracy.”
