    an Election Denier and an Extreme Christian Fundamentalist.

    Wow, that’s like their entire base, all wrapped up in one person.

      What a coincidence!

      They were refusing to vote for Jim Jordan because he is an election denier and they ended up voting in an election denier with all the fascist trimmings!

      Sounds like a pretty solid pick for the speaker when you put it that way. It’s exactly what the Republican party embodies now.

      GOP “moderates” caved again. They never fail to fall in line, eventually. They were desperate to end the embarrassing failed speaker votes, easily worn down and “fooled” (gasp!) by an unknown candidate. Only the people who voted these clowns into the House are more disappointing.

    I’m calling it, next election if Biden wins he’ll actually try to stop the vote from going through. He can’t actually stop it, but he’ll 100% make some sort of speech about how the country is ruined.

    Even McCarthy voted for him because this was the plan all along. I guess 1930s Germany is too far in the past to remember.

    Ah great, a raging homophobe that has been part of multiple hate groups. This is a good outlook for the future!

    Well he’s got the politician frump face down.

    “Welp, I tried to accomplish something, but I blame my colleagues across the aisle. I’m a good politician, now pay me your tax money while I listen to my actual lobbyist constituents.”

    What the Republican Party has become is truly amazing.
