Watch the Third Round of votes for McCarthy as Speaker in the last clip below. He lost again! There were only five votes against McCarthy to start. Then Mike Rogers shot off his mouth and threatened to take committee assignments away from anyone who didn’t vote for McCarthy. Crenshaw shot off his mouth and called them “enemies” and “narcissists.”
Then there were 19 who voted against McCarthy. After the third round, there were 20 who voted against McCarthy.
We believe the RINOs tactics are making things worse. The circus resumes tomorrow at noon.
BREAKING: @MattGaetz says members were threatened with removal from committees if they don’t vote for Kevin McCarthy for Speaker.

Considering what “leadership” had done to Margorie Green why in hell is she voting, and sucking up to, McCarthy.
One has to seriously ask Why it is that McCarthy continues to refuse to make any concessions in order to Become Speaker. To be such a hardliner suggests something nefarious when a candidate refuses to mend the political fences.

The problem with “leaders” is the threats made to “tow the line”, or Else. Members of Congress spend a majority of their time across the street making calls for money, not for themselves but for “the party”. That money then supports the “tow the line” members. It’s all a scam that few are aware of. This came to the forefront… Read more »
One of the duties of the Speaker is the press briefings. I listened to many of his as leader and it was pathetic. He proved what is thoroughly wrong with the party. You can tell what a person truly believes by the enthusiasm and passion they bring. McCarthy is unable to bring any enthusiasm or passion. If one has to… Read more »

The dems will unify and vote for her, and then 5 or 6 RINOs that say she is principled, including probably Crenshaw and McCarthy, will vote for her. Boom. The… Read more »
3 strikes you’re out you spineless California RINO do nothing.

Oh, Levin! The first time through I read “Lenin.” Perhaps that was become one of Lenin’s quotes was running through my head on and off all day, as I watched the ballot counting on CSPAN.
