Former Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) said it is an absolute mess behind the scenes on Capitol Hill as House Republicans try to elect a new speaker, saying he “cannot overstate how angry some Republican members are.”[Snip] It is not Jim Jordan. It is the fact that Kevin McCarthy was the victim of a drive-by shooting orchestrated by a small group of people and Stevie Scalise got one crack at it.[Snip] Gowdy was likely referring to the strong-arm tactics Jordan’s supporters have been reportedly using while lobbying on his behalf.

The Republican circular firing squad keeps shooting at each other while the Dems just laugh. The Red Tsunami goes to a Red Wave goes to a Red Creek goes to a Red Tripping Faucet.
The Demented Fuhrer and Attorney General Merrick "Gestapo" Garland are pleased.

Republicans can never act like winners, they always act like losers.
They will put a democrat in charge when this circus is finally over.
I wish we could send them all home. So much for melting phone lines.

I read, years ago, republicans are basically scared to death to go off the reservation and do the right thing. They've been threatened by the media that they will ruin them with the stuff they have on them. Don't know if it's true but it would explain a lot.

As much as I despise the demonrats, this is precisely why I detest the Republicans even more. With the exception of Reagan and Trump, I've had to hold my nose and vote for them for 50 years.

House Republicans, you are disenfranchising the people that voted for you. You are selling the country out.

I’m with #4. I think 99.9% of ALL representatives have skeletons.
I’m also with #7. I remember Trey asking the same questions I had just screamed at the TV. I was so excited— someone was thinking like the people. We would get answers and maybe some action would be taken.
Crickets.
Now, the Republicans, the last bit of mud in the dike, are acting like 1 yr old twin boys, and he goes on nationwide TV to give details?! What sort of goober does that??? Spilling family business to the neighborhood…
If a Communist pulled that, Nancy would have dealt with him. No such leadership for the Republicans.
We are so finished.

So much for the last line of defense against liberal socialism.
Gaetz, you should have had a plan on what to do after you removed McCarthy. You didn't.

I'm sure most of them are doing a delicate balancing act trying to appease the voters and keep the bribes coming in, while not getting their Epstein Island pictures released. Must be a horrible way to live.

He's hoping they're at each other's throats. From the man who talked tough all those years and didn't do squat. Another money grubbing ex-politician.

Gowdy is and always has been a "Deep State" Hack, the likes of the treasonous Bill Barr. If that were not the case , do you suppose FOXNews would have hired him? Methinks not! McCallum is worse. I can't imagine why any quality reporter would give them the time of day...Since this is Mediate, no quality reporter has.

No, Trey Gowdy, Kevin McCarthy is not a victim. He thought he could get by on empty promises. The monies being directed to Ukraine is sickening knowing full well they could be used here in the United States.

Democrats never behave like this. When have you ever heard of a democrat telling what’s going on behind the scenes? Gowdy is out of line and working for the Rino faction. He is all talk and no action. Remember his time in Congress? Promised a lot and delivered nothing. What is annoying the Rino class is that they cannot bend their constituents to their will. We want change and are finished with their shenanigans. We want, hold your hats, REPRESENTATION! I don’t care if Republicans are having fisticuffs in the cloakroom if it gets rid of the very stench coming from these Rinos. They have PROVED they are ineffective at best and worthless at worst. It’s time that they either get on board with what the American people want. I don’t care how it’s done as long as it gets done. We have had enough of these feckless Rinos to last a lifetime. Give some real American representatives a chance and I guarantee they will do 100 times better than the status quo go along to get along Rinos. Interesting that they can only bring the fight when it is to defeat the will of the people. Let that sink in.

Rep. Gowdy stirred the pot. Showboat Gaetz stirred the pot.
I had some hope that Gaetz would stay determined to fight for the J6 political prisoners.... held on the flimsiest of charges by Queen Nasty Piglosi
Neither one has much to show for it--

We need our own party. The GOP is standing in opposition to MAGA and the MAGA agenda. Therefore, MAGA needs to leave the GOP. The GOP hates us, MAGA doesn't need the GOP. Redefine winning. It's not about helping the GOP "win". Winning means chopping off the arms and legs off of the GOP. Destroy their leverage they us to barter grift. They use the MAGA agenda as a bargaining chip. They never intend to implement the agenda; they just accept a bribe to betray the MAGA agenda. THAT IS THE SCAM!

Trump needs to call each and everyone of the holdouts.
"Yeah, I understand you're po'ed. This wasn't the House GOP's greatest hour. But I need you to be a team player and give your support to Jim Jordan. Thanks!"

Trey Gowdy is a sound byte fraud that I refuse to watch. The Benghazi "investigation" proved that beyond a shadow of doubt.

Oh, for heaven’s sake. A guy made promises. He didn’t keep them. He was kicked out. Move on. It’s not that hard. My grade school granddaughters have better negotiating skills than these juveniles. Grow the F up.

We are safe as long as Congress cannot function. I see this paralysis as a wonderful break from their tyranny.
Ad to Gowdy....he's a fake. Talks a good line, does NOTHING of any value. He plays a part, and is certainly a Uniparty actor.

Where are the grown-ups in the Republican Party. They get their feelings hurt, and they act like a bunch of juveniles.

We have that now, #29, and have had for the last several decades. It makes no difference who conservatives put in office, they all run with the democrats, sooner or later.
