Gonzales is a sack of schit. Glad that Chip Roy is my Rep.

Now that they’ve had their hissy fit, it is time to vote for Jordan and get someone in there who will fight the irresponsible and traitorous Left.

How come there is no giant media meltdown about how awful it is that the GOP can’t get the votes to put Jordan in and how the RINOs are the worst people in the world? I mean, you’d have thought it was Armageddon when McCarthy couldn’t get them and conservatives were worse than Hitler for not supporting him.

Republican speaker who thought Democrat Pelosi had his back?

That deal with Pelosi went as well for him as his deal with R’s to elevate him to Speaker..

8 R’s held him to his deal..

Why would a Swamp R Team Leader worry about 8 little R’s when he’s got Queen Pelosi on his side?

Oops

Maybe the next R Speaker won’t trust Pelosi.

That’ll be a nice change

He should not have been the speaker to begin with.

After going back on his word the vote should have been 100% to remove.

“Michael Lawler, of New York, voted for McCarthy.”

Talked a big game.
What a worthless stooge he turned out to be.

One and done Mike, one and done.

It’s as if democrats infiltrated the GOP ranks to scuttle things...this is just a speaker vote it usually does not happen...see how democrats stick together...what this means that those GOP congress people taht voted against the caucus selection for no valid reason need to be primaried and are not true party members...Steve Scalise fate is sealed as with McCarthy with 8 or 7 Rino’s voting for them their future is done in the GOP.

I would bet money that the only way Jordan could get the votes would be to do some RINO sellout stuff, which will then make him living on borrowed time.

This would be a great opportunity for Free Republic phone-a-thon.

Does anyone have a list of the offices of these Reps.

Lets light em up and KEEP Calling.

Especially IF any of you are represented by these RINOS.
