In 2020, Griffon coined the term [[Louisiana Republican Fraud Squad|Fraud Squad]] to refer to twenty-three [[Moderate Republicans]] in the Louisiana House of Representatives who broke ranks with the conservative majority to join thirty-five Democratic lawmakers and two Independents to make [[Clay Schexnayder]] of Ascension Parish the state House [[Speaker]], rather than the caucus selection, Representative [[Sherman Mack]] of Livingston Parish. Schexnayder had sixty votes, fifteen more than the forty-rive for Mack. Griffon subsequently compared the Fraud Squad to Louisiana Republican defector John L. "Jay" Dardenne, Jr., and U.S. Senator [[Mitt Romney]] of [[Utah]], the only Republican in the chamber to vote to convict President [[Donald Trump]] on a single article of [[impeachment]].<ref>''The Moon Griffon Show,'' February 6, 2020.</ref>
