GOP Lawmaker Says She Was 'Bullied' to Back McCarthy

[RandySF]

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) claimed she received a “threatening” phone call from a female Republican lawmaker over her questionable support of Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) to become Speaker.

Said Luna: “I let that female member know that I wasn’t basically going to be threatened. I am not going to be bullied.”

1. 5 bucks says it was MTG on the other end of that call

[Irish_Dem]

3. Sucker bet.

99% chance it was MTG.

[RandySF]

5. I say Stefanik.

[crazylikafox]

7. Agree

Or maybe not since stefanik wants to be speaker herself

[Dorian Gray]

31. has she even

weighed in on whether she's pro McCarthy or not?

Not sure where Stefanik stands.

[COL Mustard]

23. I didn't think that

Empty Greene was a McCarthy fan. But I could be wrong.

[moonscape]

25. McCarthy has promised her the

moon, so yeah.

[COL Mustard]

26. I wasn't tracking that

But I know she wants to be on a committee in the worst way, and I’m guessing that’s how she’ll be.

Happy New Year 🎊🎆.

27. She's been propping him up for a while

Her big break up with Lauren BoBo was over the fact Lauren refused to support McCarthy.

2. Name that skank! or it didn't happen, honey! n/t

[jaxexpat]

17. Exactly, we've more cowards in congress than necessary already.

Cowards, loud mouths spouting selective versions of facts and just plain liars are all abundant in the "conservative" contingency. Enough is enough.

[Irish_Dem]

4. What was the specific threat.

[lindysalsagal]

6. "FOODFIGHT!

[Fullduplexxx]

8. All republicans are liars and even if it is true t.s. ... lay with dogs etc...

[Skittles]

9. why can't she just SAY who called her

FUCK these cowards

[Hekate]

11. Prolly because she's afraid of getting shivved in the cloakroom

Happy new year, Skittles. This should be fun to watch.

[dhol82]

13. Exactly.

[COL Mustard]

24. Popcorn!

I demand popcorn!!!

[Cha]

10. Wow she stood her ground. nt

Go

[MagickMuffin]

12. My beat is on Boebett, since she IS against Kevin

Marge supports Kevin

[Kaleva]

21. According to the tweet, Anna opposes McCarthy

So the phone call most likely came from Marge.

14. They're just warming up. GOP is fractured. Will Maggots prevail? January will be "interesting."

[calimary]

16. I hope they stay that way. Fractured - irrevocably.

That behavior alone is enough to run on - to get the House back in the blue column in two years. But I'm sure they'll give us MANY more reasons besides that one.

[Evolve Dammit]

20. they are "the basket of deplorables." Best for 2023!

[Dan]

15. I don't believe that any GOP member has any backbone....

After knowing that a tweet can have them running scared.

[aggiesal]

18. I'm betting it was MTG, sounds like her M.O. ...

MTG really needs McCarthy as Speaker so she could get the cushy committee assignment McCarthy promised her

[Zorro]

19. Anna Paulina Luna is a MAGA lunatic

She’s a freshman representative looking for some immediate media attention. Just watch. Or not.

[Kaleva]

22. MTG should have sent her a buttplug wrapped in newspaper

[TygrBright]

28. Meth-addled weasels tied into a sack. It's gonna be hard to look away over the next 2 years. n/t

[Hekate]

29. I'll bring the extra butter for the popcorn. Budge up & we can share...

[Emile]

30. When fascism comes to America it's initials will be MTG.
