Round 3: Vote for Jim Jordan as Speaker - 2023-10-20 [LIVE]

CSPAN ^ | 10/20/23 | CSPAN

[Eccl 10:2]

The House will continue voting in the House Speaker election to replace former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, who was removed from the position on October 3rd.

[Tammy60]

This kind of behavior is going to cost the Republicans the House next year. We’re seeing the Reps. that don’t care about the American people but only are out for themselves.

[so_real]

This is awesome. Looks like another day will go by without a function House to launder more money through the Ukraine or dole out funds to make people afraid of Covid. It's the start of a good weekend. Keep it shutdown until the election! Stick to your guns, Jordan!

"When you scream those sort of bile laced infantile insults at people you disagree with, exactly like an Alt Left Cultists do, you not only discredit yourself, you disgrace yourself."

You appear to pride yourself on your sanctimony, so how about being specific and saying what "bile-laced infantile insults" I have hurled.

Also, be prepared to defend some of the garbage you say in your own posts, Mr Holier Than Thou.

[ducttape45]

Here we go again, Jordan has already lost this attempt. Already 19 GOP votes against. Guess the deep state is digging in their heals.

[Chaos]

Well those are all requirements to be a congress critter. It’s all coming out now for us to see. Bunch of evil scumbags.

[ez]

All Gaetz did was rip the bandaid off. The wound was already there but now everyone can see it.

[VideoDoctor]

Why do they only vote once per day?

Because the rest of the time it's either "lunch".. "break".. "caucus", or "pay day."

[TornadoAlley3]

Those voting against Jordan- Are they on any committees?

[Jemian]

This is a good example of why the republicans can’t get anything done. The rats vote as one voice. The republicans vote all over the map “on principle.”

[Armscor38]

“You calling it a “stunt” further solidifies your Assistant Democrat credentials.”

You’re supporting one of eight Republicans who voted with 100% of the House Democrats to oust McCarthy.

[NautiNurse]

This kind of behavior is going to cost the Republicans the House next year.

Astute observation.

[1Old Pro]

Because the rest of the time it's either "lunch".. "break".. "caucus", or "pay day."

And the ever important dinners with lobbyists who tell them how to vote.

[Miami Rebel]

Of course they’re on committees.

[nbenyo]

And I read that Jordan offered more money for Ukraine and restoring the SALT deduction for more votes. Great job, Gaetz, you are the prime example of the culture of losing.

[meyer]

Gaetz isn’t the problem - those 20 or so useless RINOs and their “friends across the aisle” are the problem. Enemies of the people, totally ignorant and uncaring of what the American people, whom they have sworn to represent, want.

Of course, the party leadership, including Mittens’ kin, are also the problem. I guess when you can steal elections, the people no longer matter.

[1Old Pro]

This kind of behavior is going to cost the Republicans the House next year. We’re seeing the Reps. that don’t care about the American people but only are out for themselves.

Correct. Even the crippling inflation, 2-3 wars, crushing interest rates and a demented President won't help the GOP.

[hcmama]

Gaetz voted with every Democrat in the House to vacate a Speaker who had the backing of 96% of the Republican members.

You can't say anything in his defense that mitigates that fact

[Armscor38]

“Jordan lost support on the second ballot and he’s losing a lot more support on the 3rd ballot. I dont see how he turns this around.”

I don’t see it either. The more Jordans opposition gets death threats, the greater the opposition grows

[spacejunkie2001]

I agree. their silence means they support the defiance against the American people

[rbmillerjr]

Gaetz is a lightweight back bencher who is making the GOP look inept.
