#RepublicansInDisarray

[demmiblue]

Shall we trend #RepublicansInDisarray?

While President Biden secures an historic win, @GOPLeader loses. His caucus is in disarray and openly trying to primary one another.

1. MTG got a lot of time on her hands, don't she?

Maybe she could clean the shitters in her spare time?

[FakeNoose]

35. There's another tweet where she acknowledges her (supposed) arch-rival AOC

... voted against the bill. Go figure!

[rurallib]

39. yea I saw it. Called AOC and the other Dems "courageous"

or some such bullshit. Pretending AOC et al were aligned with MTG, I guess. MTG has ghosties in her brain.

7. These idiots are so fucking ignorant

11. They sure do insist on eating their own. Don't they know people are laughing at them?

By the time the 2024 election rolls around, there won't be any Repuke candidates except the crazies. I hope I live long enough to watch the show.

12. WaPo: GOP erupts over its House members bailing out Biden

In Tuesday’s election, Republicans served notice that the clock is ticking on Democrats’ slim majorities in Congress. On Friday, 13 House Republicans delivered the decisive votes to rescue a key part of President Biden’s agenda — an agenda endangered by those in his own party.

Ensue the bloodletting.

Biden’s $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill passed late Friday night and is headed for his signature after months of intense wrangling over the details — particularly whether it would be tied to a larger spending plan that progressives insisted upon passing alongside it. But in the end it wasn’t really those progressives who provided the key votes, but rather 13 Republicans. The final vote count was 228 to 206, meaning if no Republicans had voted for the bill, it wouldn’t have passed.

And some Republicans are predictably furious — with undersold questions about House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy’s (R-Calif.) future leadership of the party potentially in the offing.

“I can’t believe Republicans just gave the Democrats their socialism bill,” Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) said.

“That 13 House Republicans provided the votes needed to pass this is absurd,” Rep. Chip Roy (R-Tex.) said.

Others threatened before the vote to target or launch primaries against the defectors in their midst.

“Vote for this infrastructure bill and I will primary the hell out of you,” Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-N.C.) said shortly before the vote.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), in her typically understated fashion, warned last week that any Republican who voted for the bill would be “a traitor to our party, a traitor to their voters and a traitor to our donors.” After the vote, she accused the 13 of having voted to “pass Joe Biden’s Communist takeover of America” and tweeted the phone numbers to their congressional offices (while for some reason only listing 12 of the 13).

29. "(while for some reason only listing 12 of the 13)."

I highly doubt she can count higher than the number of her fingers and toes.

13. Watch these same people campaign on the benefits of BIF when the midterms come

[demmiblue]

17. I have no doubt that some of them will.

GOP SOP.

[Klaralven]

14. Smith (NJ) is primary proof. I doubt Van Drew is concerned either

All NJ representatives voted for the bill.

[gademocrat7]

15. Pathetic and predictable.

[SergeStorms]

16. Maddy Cawthorn....

singlehandedly primarying 13 republicans who didn't engage in the usual group think? Those wheels are going to spin right off that chair, Maddy.

Heaven forbid these republicans vote for a wildly popular bill that would funnel billions of dollars into their crumbling red states.

Can't have that. "We're republicans, damn it, and we obstruct. That's our entire raison d'etre, for christ's sake, obstructing the shit out of anything the Democrats want to do!" said Cawthorn*."

*-not an actual quote, but close enough.

[young_at_heart]

18. He is my representative!!!

Just looking at him gives me TONS of stress....he is such an embarrassment! The man who ran against him was very qualified and an exemplary citizen.

22. Who the fuck died and made this AssHat the KingMaker???

[GoCubsGo]

19. You'll "primary the hell out of them"? No you won't.

You cannot run in another congressman's district, you fucking imbecile.

[Paladin]

21. Oooo! Somebody pass this on to the New York Times editorial folks!

They'll want to trash these in-disarray Republicans, just like they've been doing with the Biden administration and Congressional Democrats, lately.

Yeah, sure they will...

[Marius25]

23. Cawthorn and Greene need to be in prison.

[padah513]

24. Lol now this is the cherry on top of my sundae!

[Fla Dem]

26. What 2 immature, nasty ignorant people. The sad part is there are others like them in the GOP.

They don't recognize the good this infrastructure bill will do for their own constituents. Or maybe they do and are afraid of losing support.

Aside from that I would rather be socialist than fascist.

[Marcuse]

27. That's entertainment!
