Gaetz on Speaker vote: ‘Long live Speaker Scalise’

All Gaetz really wants is for someone to suppress the ethics report that is coming out about him.

[Luke21]

He’s like Bob Michel was under Reagan. A go along to get along type, not particularly vicious or mean.

[Zathras]

Keeps Jordan available for VP.
The GOP-e is now wounded and badly damaged.

Post a valid (not LSM) source fir that backside removal post.

From Gaetz, himself, since YOU know “all he really wants”.

🙃

what a waste of a moment. I guess he’s just not who he said he was but he talked a good game about McCarthy. One wonders, if his issues were about appropriation bills and not having an omnibus bill exactly what assurances does he have that in 30 days a CR won’t be passed? Will Scalise be vacated if it is passed?

[hcmama]

Sorry your little fella sold you out

[hcmama]

"The GOP-e is now wounded and badly damaged." Really?

They just completely crapped on Trump's endorsement of Jordan and it looks like they're going to nominate McCarthy 2.0 to me

[Faith65]

Wow-
did not know that about Scalise.

[RitaOK]

5 RINO FLAKES would have stopped Jordan by voting “Nay” with Dems is a reasonable thought.

We weren’t going to get a firebrand as Speaker, I think

We’re just exposing how “Blue” the numbers of R’s are, in DC.

[Jane Long]

Only one who’s been sold out by a lil tiny fella…is YOU! DeSwamptus bum hurt is evidently a tough thing for you to get over.

Now, let’s see the Gaetz direct source for your latest whopper, burger Queen.

Enough of your pitiful deflections.

[EEGator]

Should have picked Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho...

[hcmama]

I know it's rough for you. Barbie Boy Gaetz sold you out and Trump endorses yet another losing candidate.

But there is no need for this vitriol. Have a good day

[EEGator]

When you say it’s time to govern, do you mean fund the Ukraine war?

[AnotherUnixGeek]

Seriously I dont get it..Scalise is McCarthy 2.0.

Well, it was obviously never about policy for Gaetz - he just had reasons to personally dislike McCarthy so he put the House through this nonsense. At least this gets rid of Gaetz's ability to hold the Speaker hostage to his whims.

The only way this would have been a win would have been if Jordan had become Speaker - as it is, it just made House Republicans look like disorganized clowns.

[pepsi_junkie]

Scalise is just a baby step more conservative than McCarthy, no noticeable improvement, and now we don’t have the January agreement.

In fairness, McCarthy honored that agreement to about the same degree as Hitler did: Not at all.

[dforest]

I remember when Scalise was shot and so terribly injured at the ball game and Trump was at there at hospital to support him. We all felt terrible for him.

Then you see this. Walking and fraternizing with a POS like this woman.

The money is good in the backstabbing the voters business.

[Jane Long]

You’re the one posting vitriol. And, evidentially LIES, since you can’t provide a source to said lie.

So, put up, or, shut up with your smear posts.

Amazing, your deflection, in a sorry attempt to cover your lyin’ backside.

[Jane Long]

Pres Trump brought on his own, personal doc, IIRC.

Probably didn’t want Scalise to have the same outcome/doc as Seth Rich.

God bless Pres Trump.

[TBP]

True, but at least it was there to use if they had to.
