This exchange on CNN with Rep Austin Scott is pathetic. He tries to act like a 6 year old who can’t possibly follow or understand simple “If A, then B” logic. Such blatant gaslighting. Then magically when they move to a different topic he suddenly understand the complexities and nuances of Isreal/Palestine/Hamas and has strong feelings and stances on the situation.
You are a world class level of stupid if you actually think this is the “dem’s fault”.
Such abuser talk…look what you made us do
The republicans can’t stop shitting their pants. So, obviously all the pants-shitting is the dems’ fault because they’re not stopping the republicans from shitting their pants. Sounds about right.
This is some straight up Goebbels shit.
I heard the Republican logo was changing from an elephant to a clown
why doesn’t Jordan just claim there was fraud and he really won…
Maybe he should contest the election as a fraud and file suit
McCarthy is such a disgusting opportunist. The GOP has catered to the most radical branches of their party for years and ended up with people like Jordan, who has defended Trump’s claims that he won in 2020. Essentially, a guy who doesn’t believe in the democratic process.
And now it’s the dems fault for not “putting people before politics” and just settling for this Christian Nationalist, democracy-hating nutball? Where’s this fire when republicans voted against anything that would help Americans over the past couple of years like legislation to ease gas prices?
Republicans are threatening their own peers wives and they are still trying to blame Dems. What a vile bunch of jerks.
I wish just once a reporter would ask any of these pieces of shit blaming democrats “one year ago if the situation was reversed and there was a vote to vacate Pelosi as speaker, you’re saying the Republican conference would have voted to keep her in that position?”
“It’s Gonna Get Worse” describes the GOP in a nutshell
What a bunch of lying crybabies.
Trying to say, “How could democrats do this? ” at this fucking point is fucking ridiculous and pretty typical of them.
Allowing the rule change to only one member and then lying to everybody, both us and them was bound to fail, and it did.
They are a clownshow but less funny than pathetic.
It’s so cute that the majority is blaming the minority for their woes.
The GOP is unfit to govern, stop electing failures.
Nancy Pelosi never had this problem. Democrats actually know how to govern. They are far from perfect, but the GOP look like complete clowns in comparison.
It’s all the Republicans fault. They all refuse to vote for Jeffries for Speaker.
Democrats have been united and consistent in the past 17 ballots while conservatives have been all over the place. And the Dems are to blame you can’t get your shit together?
Not only is McCarthy blaming it on dems, but his phrasing was something like, “the only reason we’re here today is because every single Democrat voted to shut down a branch of government”
….. I’m sorry, what the actual fuck are you talking about? Nobody took a vote to shut down government. In fact, it’s republicans who are consistently the ones to do that very thing, AND ON PURPOSE! It’s your caucus who hasn’t done fucking anything since gaining the majority except commit sex crimes in public theaters, play around with fake impeachment inquiries, highlight trump’s manipulation of Twitter when posts said mean things about him, and continue to suck on the teat of the NRA by not having a SINGLE HEARING on gun safety or school shootings.
Y’all are a fucking mess. I don’t see how this farce can continue, but republicans continue to impress me with how low they are able to move the bar every time they need to look better for their mouth-frothing base.
“They won’t save us from ourselves!”
*Checks 2021 results for Pelosi for speaker*
Me: “Yeaaah, get bent.”
Every vote for Jim Jordan is a vote for embarrassment for the Republican party.
Fuck you GOP. I hope you continue to flounder like the inept turd you are.
McCarthy: actively blocks and attacks democrats.
Also McCarthy: your unwillingness to save me from my own party created this.
It’s fucking laughable. Anyone who votes republican after all this shit and Trump doesn’t deserve any respect or empathy.
How is anybody in the world stupid enough to fall for this kind of “it’s the other team’s fault” rhetoric when it is clearly the party in control causing the problems?
221 republicans in the house and they need 217 to elect a speaker…… how many republicans voted for Nancy Pelosi again?
I forgot Gaetz is the democrat that started this circus. /s
It’s almost funny how automatic the “it’s the Democrats fault” response is. No matter what the issue or circumstances.
> “There is no chance in the world that Democrats can say again that they put people before politics. They made a political decision to try to bring chaos to shut down a branch of government. And that’s wrong,”
You literally want to install an idiot whose main goal is to shut the Govt down.
“It’s going to get worse” should be the 2024 Republican party campaign slogan.
Who’s fault is it that the GOP nominee has fewer votes than Jeffries?

The comedy continues …
It’s gonna get worse, indeed.
Mark your calendars for Nov. 17 at this rate, apparently.
The fact that McCarthy is still trying to pin blame for this travesty on Democrats is just pure and utter insanity.
Shocked they started at Dems and not at those OSU wrestlers for “ruining” Gym’s “sterling image”
Maybe if republicans weren’t so busy giving guys handjobs in theaters, they would be able to agree on a speaker.
What a bunch of losers.
Hey Kev, was it Pelosi or Jeffries who made concessions with Gaetz and EmptyG to allow an ouster vote from one representative? I forgot.
These Republicans have some delusions of entitlement… and their delusions hopefully become a self consuming nightmare.
No more votes today. Are they only doing 1 vote per day? The 1.5 hours of work is tiring everyone out?
Thanks, Obama
They caused the vote for expulsion, AND voted to change the rules to allow that!!
That’s not how this works. They are banking on their fans to be stupid.
You have the majority. Why is it incumbent on us to get your house in order?
It’s never-ending. 1) Create chaos. 2) Project it on your political opponents. 3) Claim you need to be given power in order to fix it. 4) Repeat.
The Party of Personal Responsibility^TM once again failing to take responsibility, as is tradition.
It be sweet if Jefferies gets enough votes to be speaker. That would really get the orange turd mad.
