I normally do not make posts such as this one:

There is a rumor sweeping the Intertubes (sic) about the Speaker of the House. It has to do with his participation at a certain website which, to be frank, is not one with which he, or any of his RW peers, would wish an association. This rumor is picking up speed and is being reposted with increasing frequency on mainstream social media.

I am not casting aspersions upon lifestyles, I am casting them towards hypocrisy and duplicity.

I thank you for your time and patience.

I mean, I'm pretty sure that's what you are pointing to. But it's not clear what you're saying about it.

If it's any comfort, this supposition is not news. (I mean, his adopted son, really?) What would be news is an image of an ad or profile. Then, let's have at it. Wanna sue? Prepare for discovery.

Edited to add: It's sad that he's refusing to do his job. And unfortunate that we have to resort to rethug tactics to simply get Johnson to do what he's already paid to do. (Referring to swearing in the new congresswoman, not whatever he does on his personal time.)

Last edited Tue Sep 30, 2025, 10:43 PM - Edit history (1)

https://uk.news.yahoo.com/reason-republican-mike-johnson-grindr-001043193.html

Speaker of the House Mike Johnson has long been one of the most vocal anti-LBGTQ+ MAGA Republicans in America, but now he’s going viral for a rumor that he’s spent time on Grindr.

Over the weekend, an anonymous man took to TikTok to give the conservative politician an ultimatum: swear in Democratic Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva, who recently won a special election, or he’ll release proof that Johnson has a secret Grindr profile.

The anonymous man, who uses the TikTok handle @razzledazzlemo, claims to have screenshots, IP data, and a selfie that will allegedly prove that the Grindr account is indeed Johnson’s and that his demands are all in an effort to get the government to release the Jeffrey Epstein files.

The source speaks with apparent confidence about his alleged evidence, but has yet to provide any actual proof. This, however, has not stopped the video from taking off like wildfire on X where "Mike Johnson Grindr" began trending. With so many rumors, comments, and the recent rise in AI political videos being frequently mistaken for real on social media, it can all become confusing quickly. Here's what we know.


Probably not true, but if the Tik Tok user is telling the truth, things are about to get very interesting.

i think he said he's been debating for a few days whether or not to mention this

and the "threat" or "blackmail" was that this info would come out if johnson didn't swear the dem rep. by oct. 1st.

apparently she would make the 118th vote on voting to release epstein info or something to that effect-- so that it would be brought up for a vote and republicans would have to show the folks back home that they don't want it released

something like that--i didn't catch all that he said tho

on edit: i meant 218th vote. (oopsie)

How many guys have changed their real name to something vanilla-bread like "Mike Johnson" or "Sam Jones" and not even realize it's the same as a semi-important person? Also wouldn't it be fairly easy to start a fake account and use photos of a real person, you know, just for political blackmail purposes?

This was started as a comment/speculation by a TikTok user. Who is now back-peddling.

I am always skeptical of stuff like this. Why not just release the information anonymously if this were true? Is he grifting somehow?

A long thread on Reddit with the original TikTok posting. Go there and search for :"Man who said he’d leak Mike Johnson’s Grindr profile by Wednesday, October 1, now fears for his own safety ".
