GOP Infighting Over the Speaker Debacle is Getting Hilariously Petty
Channel: The Humanist Report
Date: 2023-10-24

Republican infighting over the House Speaker is reaching hilariously petty levels. Also, with Jim Jordan out of the House Speaker race, nine new Republicans decided to throw their hats in the ring—none of which seem likely to muster enough GOP support to get the gavel. The most notable candidate, Tom Emmer, is already facing an uphill battle trying to persuade Trump sycophants he’s sufficiently loyal to Trump. We’ll talk about the latest GOP shenanigans regarding the House Speaker debacle in this video.
