Chaos Caucus Cannot Govern

The Clown Caucus.


After another failed speaker vote on the floor Friday morning — this time, Jordan lost 25 Republicans, three more than in the previous vote — the GOP caucus went to a closed-door conference room and pushed him to drop out. In a secret ballot, only 86 Republicans said he should stay in the speaker race, while 112 wanted him out. Nineteen didn’t even bother to attend; some had flown home for the weekend rather than participate in additional pointless speaker votes on the floor.

“Back to the drawing board,” a grim McCarthy said after Friday afternoon’s conference meeting. McCarthy (Calif.) blamed the seemingly endless chaos on the Republicans who ousted him, saying “the amount of damage they have done to this party and to this country is insurmountable.”

Added the former speaker: “We are in a very bad position as a party.”

How bad? Well, on the social media platform X on Thursday night, Rep. Greg Murphy (R-N.C.) got into a spat with Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) over her vote for McCarthy’s ouster. He then blocked her. Responded the congresswoman: “This is exactly what’s wrong with this place — too many men here with no balls.”

 
Much of the GOP frustration is aimed at Gaetz and the seven other Republicans who linked arms with House Democrats to oust McCarthy earlier this month, standing against an overwhelming majority of the GOP conference.

“If you are going to blow a bridge, you better have another one to cross. And those eight clearly didn’t have another one to cross before they blew this bridge,” Rep. Mike Waltz (R-Fla.) said.

Further fueling the raw feelings are personal threats lawmakers and their families are now facing over the speaker vote. Rep. Drew Ferguson (R-Ga.) disclosed to his colleagues on Thursday that he had placed a sheriff at his daughter’s school, adding in a statement that Republicans do “not need a bully as the speaker.”

This is Keystone Kops incompetence. These chaos agents can't govern. All they do is make demands that they know cannot be met, then point fingers at each other.


Of course they can't govern. Look who they're taking their marching orders from. Trump- a sociopath.
