Did Biden And The Dems Sabotage Another GOP House Speaker?

"Rep. Steve Scalise announced he was dropping out of the speaker’s race Thursday after House Republicans failed to coalesce behind him in the aftermath of Kevin McCarthy’s historic ouster. “I just shared with my colleagues that I’m withdrawing my name as a candidate for the speaker designee,” the Louisiana Republican told reporters. “There are still some people that have their own agendas and I was very clear we have to have everybody put their agendas on the side and focus on what this country needs. This country is counting on us to come back together. This House of Representatives needs a speaker and we need to open up the House again, but clearly not everybody is there and there’s still schisms that have to get resolved.”

The move deepens the House GOP leadership crisis and it is not clear whether there is any viable candidate who could win the 217 votes needed to win the gavel. Republicans will now have to scramble to find a path forward. The deadlock is leading to intensifying frustration as the House GOP looks no closer to coalescing around a speaker candidate. Several Republicans described Thursday’s meeting as a venting session that wasn’t terribly productive. “This is petty, and I’m getting freaking tired of it,” said Rep. Nicole Malliotakis, a New York Republican."

First, the Democrats forced the GOP to oust Speaker McCarthy....and in response, Republicans have a close door session and and decide to move forward with Steve Scalise as their frontrunner to be the next speaker. Apparently, the GOP didn't want David Duke without the baggage, maybe they want a David Duke with the baggage...but ultimately, this is the fault of Democrats because even tho there were no Democrats in the closed door meeting - they still forced Scalise to withdraw himself from consideration. This consistent failure to nominate a House speaker is just more evidence of the Democrats' failure to lead.

Another one bites the dust

Are Republicans capable of doing a simple thing like choosing a leader? It’s not that hard, it has been done over a hundred times before.

I think it time to shine a bright light on people like McConnell and Pelosi make literally TENS OF MILLIONS as "public servants" while Veterans are homeless, our border is gone and people are giving up their pets because of inflation

It's like they are purposely delaying in order to keep from voting aid to Israel.

A gracious resignation seems appropriate for a guy who was wounded in an assassination attempt by a socialist follower of Sen. Sanders but of course lefties have their own agenda.

Democrats actually ordered a hit on Scalise.....and then they gave him cancer later..

And now they are forcing him to step down as potential speaker.....


Democrats are so evil...that they paid a black lesbian cop to take a bullet trying to protect Scalise....just to make it look bad when Scalise turned around and voted against her right to marry.....the Dems are so evil..

He voted against her marriage. But she took a bullet for him.

More like you broke dicks just failed spectacularly yet again.
In true loser fashion, you look to blame the Dems.
How predictable and how pathetic.
America deserves better.
Republican voters deserve better.

I agree.

He can both be a victim of inexcusable violence and a piece of shit.

The attempt by a socialist Sanders supporter to murder every high profile republican congressperson in a practice baseball game. The left wing media gave it scant coverage . No surprise here.

There are Republicans and there are MAGAs. They are very different. MAGA blows up everything they are involved in.

MAGAs are Republicans elected by Republicans.

You have to be kidding. Did you know about the right wing mass killings of Jews, Gays and Blacks?
There are crazies in every political movement but no political movement has more crazies than MAGA.
