I don’t understand why people are acting like this reflects poorly on house republicans? Like, they aren’t just blindly following the establishment, and are instead forcing concessions in return for their support. If people like AOC did this she’d be praised as fighting for the progressive wing, not lambasted for her party being disorganized

Because there are 20 or so maniacs in the party that caused this just for the sake of being dicks essentially... They asked for things in return for their vote, they got those things and then still wouldn't vote for Kevin Mccarthy. Pretty sure either party would get shit for that.

Really? McCarthy got the votes he needed in the end. I am 100% positive this would be praised if democrats did it.

Right. Democrats can’t wear a tan suit, buy cookware, or fall off a bike without half of the country losing their God damned minds. Please have some self awareness for your own tribe.

The tan suit is a decent example of republicans freaking out over something stupid…but cmon Biden falling off the bike was hilarious. You can’t be so biased that you think that wasn’t funny
