#NBCNews #House #Speaker
Imagine, in the USA, a Marxist who hates America as Speaker.
McCarthy doesn’t have the right to be house speaker. The fool that this he crazy. PEOPLE FROM CALIFORNIA DON’T LIKE HIM AS MUCH. HE’S A LAIR N LOVES THE PEOPLE MONEY. HE WON’T KEEP THE PROMISES.
Well, pindos, how do you like the radioactive gas radon, from the thousands of drilled shale wells? How many of you will die from this ahead of time?
the clown car has just pulled in …how do you like them now america.
Unfortunately the Marxist democrats March in lockstep no Matt what. The republicans will have their fight and will move on.
and it makes me sick, good for tulsi gabbard and others for leaving this disaster of a party, she was the last REAL democrat that people count on https://youtu.be/xE_jLIXrWng.
If Kevin McCarthy wants to become the US Speaker of the House, 2nd in Presidential succussion, he should become an Independent. He would have the votes. SNAP!
Do it!
You guys do know this happen more then 20 times even went to 4 months before before getting one
We need TERM LIMITS in DC.
After this stunt committed by representative elect- Santos, and the Kevin McCarthy, Fiasco I would definitely say the Republican Congress, is cursed. And it couldn’t have happened to a finer group of people. And they can’t make any derogatory statements about Joe R Biden, because he has handled the White House, in the first half of his tenure better and with more integrity, than Donald J Trump, ever could. and ever did. And President Biden, has had more accomplishments. And just like the Democratic Congress, I will sit and watch the Republicans Crash and Burn. The Democratic controlled Congress, made record and historic accomplishments, while they were in control- and that’s something that Republicans, can try but unsuccessfully! disparage.
and because his approval rating suffered and he deserved every single bit of it, not to mention millions of americans this country is on the wrong track.
2032, the year the GOP died. That’s not even a statement of controversy or debate. A tv clown destroyed it all.
Funny, his argument is ‘majority rules’ regarding the SOTH vote. Republicans love that argument…unless it concerns the electoral college.
Just find him 19 votes which is one more than he had.
Jeffries is a rino and democrat sympathizer
The marxist dems and their neocon war mongering rino operatives make me sick https://youtu.be/ezSmVXMWv_Y
Lmao 🤣
LWler is not a repu lican he is just a democrat running as a republican
McCarthy may get the votes eventually but he is cut off at the knees and Matt Gaetze, Lauren Boerbert, Andy Biggs, Andrew Clyde, Paul Gosar and some others. These are people who can’t even tie their own shoes and they have Kevin in a box and that’s where he will stay and he will ask them for permission at every turn. They will have the power to get him dumped at any point. He could be the shortest lived Speaker in history if he does NOT do their bidding. Thus the condition of the repuglicant party and in turn the condition of our country.
“We do not live in a dictatorship, we live in a democracy and the majority rules for a reason.” The reason the Republicans are in this predicament is because they do not have real a majority. It’s a fractured party created by gerrymandering and manipulation of voting rights.
Chuck Todd a little too little too late once he gave up all them concessions he don’t have the power as this speaker you gave up too much ground how you in control of somebody I could just call to have you removed at any given time how much power is that
Yeah MTG saying anything is a joke. I do love seeing these idiots fight each other though, it just shows how they will work together. Its almost perfect seeing how this will go down. Its proving itself without trying
These Republicans giving you all these material for easy follow up and you’re missing it Chuck Ty he just said this is not a dictatorship well the last 5 years that we just seen was acting like a dictatorship cuz whatever Donald Trump said all the rest of your m*********** Republicans right behind it see now that’s not happening with Kevin McCarthy cuz he thought it was and I was a problem but that’s the monster y’all created we love watching y’all eat yourself alive Chuck Todd doing a little bit more better at your job we’re follow-up questions and push back cuz I know if this was Democrats going through all this you have a whole lot to say pushing back on them like you get these m************ the benefit of the doubt why
One party rule does not work says the GOP lol
So long as the reckless spending benefits American people than, why not spend more for the benefit of the people?
Oh it’s democracy now it was not when Trump was the president Republicans wanted to do away with democracy and have dictatorship
Congressman elect – dictatorship is when McCarthy wants to ride roughshod over everyone’s choice. Don’t matter that the minority in his caucus has put him in check. Add their numbers to 212 what do you get
Hello 💖😻
This man things the Republicans gained power to work. Bless his heart
The dems need to pay for their corruption
Pelosi and the the dems need to pay for their corruption. McCarthy not the one to do that
He is a TRUMP Lover and is afraid of losing the Battle.. excepting.. understand your Job as Not hired by the President but by the PEOPLE of Both sides and Us Independents.
More Homelessness in Spokane City Washington State.
You are nothing more than fake news Lonnie ray
don’t like the way McCarthy talks and his eyes, I think he is not the leader type
Republican party does not serve America but their party and power.
They are divided and corrupted which does not help lives of American people.
The best part is that they can see the crash and burn insanity in their own party but are helpless to stop any of it
Republicans are failures
Stop lying talking about high inflation Republikkkan don’t even have a plan
I wonder how long this can go on? Like a week or could theoretically there be a US congress without a speaker for the next two years?
Jeffries is a Socialist, like Sanders, Cortez, Harris and other’s in the group.
Republicans look dumber by the second. If smart they wouldn’t vote for Mccarthy as he was the one that opened the door for Trump when he could have closed it. He’s weak, won’t even stand to Santos
Every minute you waste, you could be moving forward with fondling hunter Bidens laptop😂
I don’t understand why no one is runningg against him. He has NO integrityvat ALL! If you all vote him in, it’ll be more years of the same type of discord that came with Donald.
Yes indeed. Jeffries only needs support from 6 moderate Republicans.
Blessings to the Democrat in the House who still got more votes than Kevin even though the Republicans “hold the majority.” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
“look…Kevin McCarthy has earned the right to be Speaker of the House” oh really? How exactly has a seditious spineless liar like McCarthy, who has absolutely no legislative wins in 10 years, earned the right to be Speaker? This reporter is throwing out red herrings and nonsense, which are merely his own egoic opinions and which do not reflect the truth.
Coward couldn’t run a bathroom..
The American people need TRUE/BETTER LEADERS, not FOLLOWERS of LIERS/LOSERS. DO NOT PUT THESE FOLLOWERS IN CHARGE OF ANYTHING. I COMMEND THOSE LEADERS THAT CARE/STAND UP/CHOOSE TO DO THE RIGHT THING FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
If Democrats find 6 Republicans to vote for Jefferies, they can win the speakership and get on with the business of the people instead of this Republican nonsense.
No worries America, no matter who ends up being the speaker , bidens failing policies will be stopped. And just in time. Be careful NBC reporters , you know how the NBC leadership responds when you report news they have decided to suppress.
Jefferies had the majority of the vote. 👏
All the republican want is Biden Son tape and so dose he.they care nothing about the people.
JEFFRIES IS A PELOSI PLANT,DON’T NEED THAT.
Actually Jeffries, Schumer, and Raskin are better candidates
“We don’t live in a dictatorship.” Ha! Under you guys, it IS a dictatorship.
Republican Groundhog Day Thanks for the laughs
The tea party says nothing about freedom caucus.
Jordan is the best choice.
Nobody has ‘the right’ to a political position in this republic!
That is the whole point of it all!
Lawler is a hypocrite; NOT a conservative!
I am sure he THINKS he is a conservative, but it does not matter how many deluded voters agree with his deluded opinion of himself: he is NOT a conservative!
****(HELP AMERICANS)****
AMERICA spends BILLIONS 2 fund OTHER Countries & on Secret projects and helping BIG companies with Big TAX breaks;
but yet (CONSERVATIVES & REPUBLICANS); don’t want GOVT 2 spend more Money 2 help Regular AMERICANS!

ALL of these POLITICIANS, after they get Elected, get into Office,
and just do what THEY want to do ! But people FORGET, the ALL of these Politicians, are SUPPOSED to doing what WE the people WANT them to do when we Elect them !

Unifying with McCarthy is like voting for Hitler. White Nationalist GOP will run America toward more hatred.
Kevin McCarthy + White Nationalist GOP Republican = Nazi
#$#$##$$#$#$#**************Flatline
Lol, that republican is lying . Republicans Trumpers love to lie. They are scum
Jeffries lost the same number of votes as the rest of the losers. He also lost impeachment trial and his party lost the house.
There’s a lightning quick way for Republicans to regain control. Nominate a Republican for speaker who the Democrats will support.
212 votes Boom!!! (Has anyone talked to John Huntsman lately?)
Other wishy washy common republican needs reunited all this hudlooms smart illiterates focus on negative doing not the positives seriously slave on democrats sick
Both of your parties are incompetent and racist. Absolute embarrassment to society.
https://youtube.com/shorts/9AtM6cYso98?feature=share
Mccarthy has earned the right? Gee I thought it was based more on who the other members of Congress feel will be best for the job…😟
Jeffries leftist man
Gop get this right not Jeffries bad
Amen move forward with McCarthy
Need to go to work now
For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
Screw you Chuck, at least Democrat’s can’t pass frivolous spending bills, for now !
Su su kao km
This man is rewriting history & is a blanton liar!! To speak to him is just typical click bait & we alk know this!! To say nvr Mccarthy is a good guy & we want to get down to business is (hubris) in itself no Republicans” have ever wanted to take care business nor due anything for main street ever this is what we call trifling” as bad as having’ DINO’s” in our parties.. At this point this the best that we don’t get down to aby business because its not going to happen regardless for another yr. 2024 keeping it 100′ #blm23 nvr kkk Scalise, nvr any nvr kkkugly45 reps. nvr McCarthy & still Ditch Mitch 👍 as for Hakeem” 212 vote is principal & we all know it but it’s the fku** we the pls. get to say” to these fanatics, religious, bigots from our dems. reps. prgrsvs. Change is well on the rd. 2023 👍

WILL GUIDE AND DIRECT US . IN THESE DAYS WHEN TRUTH IS REDUCED TO MERE OPINION AND THE FACTS ARE QUESTIONED AND FORGOTTEN , I
PRAY THAT THE ” HOLY SPIRIT ” MAY REST ON YOUR DESIGNATED SPOKESMEN . ” 2023 “
If you were elected to end 1 party rule, then find a way to compromise with the other party!
Want to see real move to Socialism? Get Jeffries in there. What a clown show this is ..
This tell us how far Trump has destroyed our democracy. It has become a fact that whatever Trump touches goes bad.
You liberal rags make me laugh the 10 brave republicans are trying to say hey we’re tired of this Rino mentality….another follow the money guy…90m as a congressman…you just fuel the democrats destructive agenda but then again all msm does…clown shop congress democrats are puppets to their master half of the democrat congress are illiterate
Lmao this guy is funny, we live in a democracy, majority rules but you don’t have a majority
Don’t forget Russia is a winner too. Also becoming rich are tucker Gaetz bowbart and other taliban 20 group with money from Russia?
Ummm those numbers for the 3rd ballot are not correct… Mccarthy lost EACH time! Elect Jeffries already and move on
If u like how Republicans are struggling to vote for a speaker,then u will love how they deal with immigration and the economy..They are so united…lol
Jeffries speaker of the house 2023
Legit hilarious my dude you will only govern for the Nazis and the crazy people.
I’m an independent. I don’t trust Jeffries! He’s in the Schumer mold!
If NY had done what they were supposed to do, republicans would still be in the minority. These are the same republicans who love Sinema and Manchin who blocked the majority in the Senate.
He does not mind republican one party rule. Noticed he did not mention that.
Actually Gaetz Trump Boebert have much to gain by delaying their cases by the DOJ.
I as an American don’t want Kevin Mcarthy!!
So he is ok with extremism and Kevin McCarthy not condemning Marjory Taylor Greene and Boebert
People need to take yes for an answer, this is a democracy
WRONG! You retrumplicans gerrymandered yourselves into the majority!
Aaahm… It worked for two years!
Dumb talk by sellouts, obvious at this point. McCarthy is a repub-democrat another demoturd selllout.
