We can only deduce that the entire Republican caucus in the House....

[kentuck]

...supported the coup and the violent attack upon our Capitol.

Otherwise, why would they throw their unanimous support behind the architect of the Electoral College sham?

How could we assume otherwise?

They knew exactly who and what they were voting for.

1. Putin puts his people in the States where he can win easily.

Then they do his work.

[jaxexpat]

2. Safe enough assumption.

[Chainfire]

3. None of them have any integrity. I wouldn't trust a single one of them to sit my dog.

[czarjak]

4. Any means necessary.

Been saving.

[gratuitous]

5. Every House Republican should be asked about that

Do you support Speaker Johnson's record of trying to overturn the 2020 election result? Remember, you voted to install him as Speaker.

[Qutzupalotl]

6. Trump made sure ONLY an election denier would be speaker.

He torpedoed anyone else. That's so when he loses the 2024 general, he has a lackey willing to overturn the result.

But if we kick ass in ‘24, we can make Jeffries speaker instead. Hey, no pressure, it's only our democracy on the line.

7. And they just used Jordan as a ruse. Johnson was their man all along

but they rejected Jordan to try to fool people into thinking they are more moderate by rejecting Jordan. The cynical bastards.

[kentuck]

8. I thought I heard Rep Ken Buck say:

That he could never support someone who voted to decertify the election? ?

Did they all get caught up in a maddening crowd mentality?

[Skittles]

9. are you saying the GOP is into lying and cheating?

when did that start?

[Army Brat]

10. Amazing how the "moderates" rolled over in unison

This guy is no better than Jordan.Hopefully some pay in 2024.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

11. I guess they weighed which of two things voters would most likely hold against them...

1) Supporting an insurrectionist, or 2) Looking like idiots who can't get their act together and elect a leader.
Apparently #2 was the greater sin.

[rurallib]

12. That's what I have been telling people

about the Iowa delegation - never mind what they claim - what counts is now.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

13. They are

All ok with fascism ,white nationalism and theocracy now. Fuck all those republican fascist pigs.

[bucolic_frolic]

14. And they know what they're doing now, this was planned well in advance

Trump didn't just climb on board, he knew who would be elected.

[D23MIURG23]

15. Are you surprised?

The whole "6 republicans might work with us" thing was always a pipe dream. I thought they would elect Jordan, and I'm glad I was wrong, but the truth wasn't far from that.

[Martin Eden]

16. The R's needed to elect a Speaker. They had 2 choices:

1. Select someone willing to work with Democrats to fund our government.

2. Cave to the extreme seditionist Christo-fascist caucus.

They chose the latter, and may the bed they're lying in be their electoral grave.
