Half A Dozen Nos!

Rep. Kat Kammack (R-FL) riles up Congress in her bid to support embattled lawmaker Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA).

Officially, they are U.S. Representatives as of noon on Jan. 3. By order of the Congress, they are Representative-elect or member-elect until they are sworn in. I will use their proper handle.

For now, I won't call them Karens. But the GOP's behavior is so Karen-like.

Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) was denied once again by 21 members of the Republican conference. On Wednesday, the embattled Republican faced a slew of opposition from the Freedom Caucasians. They decided to nominate do-nothing lawmaker Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL), a Black conservative activist who won his second bid to represent Florida.

The very same party that claims the Democrats are using "identity politics" decided to prop up a Black man as their scapegoat.

It was six floor votes and the Congress has no House Speaker.

Also Rep. Kat Cammack (R-FL) decided to dig at the Democrats after they shared pictures of them eating popcorn and watching the Republicans fail at governing.

Cammack suggested that alcohol was on the House floor in her nomination of McCarthy for the House Speaker.

“Diversity of thought is a good thing. It’s one of the things that sets us apart from our friends on the other side of the aisle. Yes, diversity of thought is a good thing. But they want us divided. They want us to fight each other. That has been made [clear] by the popcorn and blankets and alcohol and blankets that is coming over there,” Cammack said as she rose to nominate McCarthy for Speaker ahead of the sixth vote. 

It earned a wave of boos and calls for the remarks to be stripped from the record. 

Yet again, the Republicans failed at nominating McCarthy while Democrats nominated Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) for House Speaker.

I mean it was a total shitshow with the Republicans. Even Washed Up 45 tried to intervene with no avail. The Republicans refuse to back the California lawmaker.

Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ), Rep. Dan Bishop (R-NC), Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO), Rep. Josh Brecheen (R-OK), Rep. Michael Cloud (R-TX), Rep. Andrew Clyde (R-GA), Rep. Eli Crane (R-AZ), Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL), Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), Rep. Bob Good (R-VA), Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ), Rep. Andy Harris (R-MD), Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL), Rep. Mary Miller (R-IL), Rep. Ralph Norman (R-SC), Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN), Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA), Rep. Matt Rosendale (R-MT), Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX), Rep. Keith Self (R-TX) and Victoria Spatz (R-IN) voted against McCarthy.

They all face a possible stripping of committees and no funding from McCarthy's allies and Republicans donors.

McCarthy has no intentions to bow out just yet.

He already has 90% of the conference backing him and they will oppose any of these members if they should be nominated for House Speaker.
