HIGH NOON, part III, The Election of The Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives. LIVE!

[Dr. Franklin]

So here we go again.

What we have seen so far is the arogance of our governing elites. They think every election can be managed and finessed to install the preferred candidate of the elites. Because 20 MAGA Republicans are objecting, Swamp Creature McCarthy has been denied the gavel of the Speakership.

Will they prevail, or is a dirty deal with the Dems in the works?

[Dr. Franklin]

I'm not sure I heard correctly, who'd MTG vote for?

McCarthy. Maybe she has a thing for bi men?

Brett Baier is having a cow on Fox.

[tennmountainman]

It takes 218 votes to win the prize. McCarthy does not have the votes.
Time to move on.

“Games are being played here.”

If you didn’t hear the first hour of War Room today, it is enlightening in this regard.

[usconservative]

Yeah, that's what I thought I heard and wasn't sure.

WTF.

[MayflowerMadam]

No s—t?!? Cool.

I wasn’t even aware fox was still on air

[tennmountainman]

I hope Baier wets his suit.

What the RINOs are showing is that they are happy to waste the time that they were given in this term trying to ram McCarthy through as Speaker. The only way McCarthy gets in as Speaker is if the Dems don't vote.

[Mathews]

bump

[tennmountainman]

Yep.

[DallasBiff]

I never saw political panic in eyes, as Baier’s were 5 minutes ago.

McCarthy needs to withdraw his name so the GOP can select a more agreeable and REPRESENTATIVE Speaker.

[Dr. Franklin]

Trump just got a vote!

Imagine all of those Rats who voted to impeach him twice needing to ask for his help with things in the House!
ROTFLMAO!

[ifinnegan]

“ Because Trump isn’t that good at managing things or at selecting personnel.”

Compared to who?

Biden?

Obama?

Bush?

You have no critical thinking skills.

Agree.

Isn't it interesting that Milquetoast McCarthy is demonstrating more backbone in trying to become SOTH than he ever did fighting back against Democrats?

He wants his payday, screwing the American people, that's why.

[tennmountainman]

2 more votes(9)
And McCarthy will tie the Speaker vote(9) in 1923.

>Imagine all of those Rats who voted to impeach him twice needing to ask for his help with things in the House!

If the GOP had any balls, they would do it as revenge just for J6. Oh boy would it be glorious.

I'm not sure I heard correctly, who'd MTG vote for?

McCarthy. Maybe she has a thing for bi men?

MTG wasn't even paying attention. The other clown Green just gave his grandstanding vote, and then when it was MTG's turn she was oblivious. Gaetz had to nudge her.

Should have let her miss it... maybe they'd circle back to her and she could vote "present" after reflecting on it.

I also think it's ridiculous how each side responds with applause when their favored candidate votes for themselves. I mean... what? How brave of them to vote for themselves, or something?
