This whole thing is about Committee chairs, because that’s where the fundraising is. Most people don’t understand that those positions go to the highest bidder who is then committed to raising a certain amount of money each year in order to keep it.

If Gaetz took a Chair from Roberts, that’s great news, bc w/ the RINOs it’s all about the money.

Many won’t forget how 88-year old Shelby sold out by backing the gangster $1.7 Trillion Omnibus before retiring.

Gaetz is coming out of this quite well ...He deserves a Committee assignment ...and he has proven Rogers a windbag bully.

My-my, who is the terrorist here? Come on FR GOP establishment fanboys be honest. Another member tried to physically assault another. Are you snobs not embarrassed at this unseemly behavior or will it be excused like all other RINO crap?

Rogers the RINO made a fool out of himself. He was lucky others restrained him.

Gates was not physically attacking Rogers. That make Rogers the bad guy because he was unable to restrain his temper.
