For the first time in 100 years, the balloting for speaker of the House went beyond the first vote. “It’s been a bit ugly, it’s been mean and it does not give a lot of confidence that any speaker whoever they end up electing could unite this GOP caucus and govern,” Chuck Todd said.

#NBCNews #House #Republican
Matt Gaetz was previously known as Ski Instructor #2 in every 80’s movie
Doing the same thing over and over again hoping for different results… insanity.
VOTE LYNN ZELDIN FOR HOUSE SPEAKER ..
No it’s a purge of the trump fiasco!🥺if trump is the candidate I will be forced to vote him but if desantis wins I’ll be 😁
SO RIGHT! IT’S RUPTURING WITH RINO CRAP BEING RID OF IN THE HOUSE.
This is why NOBODY watches cnn
THIS IS WHAT OUR GOVERNMENT IS SUPPOSED TO DO
ITS CALLED AN OPEN DEBATE, WITH THE COUNTRY’S BEST INTEREST AT HEART
NOT PIGLOSI’S
COME ON GUYS. GIVE US THE OLD GOP CHEER. “WE LACK INTEGRITY, WE LACK INTEGRITY, WE LACK INTEGRITY, WE LACK INTEGRITY, WE LACK INTEGRITY, WE LACK INTEGRITY, WE LACK INTEGRITY, WE LACK INTEGRITY, WE LACK INTEGRITY, WE LACK INTEGRITY, WE LACK INTEGRITY, WE LACK INTEGRITY, WE LACK INTEGRITY, WE LACK INTEGRITY, WE LACK INTEGRITY, AND WE SAY SCREW YOU.”
Integrity–if you have it, nothing else matters.
Integrity–if you don’t have it, nothing else matters.
Enough is enough for this loser McCarthy….🥴🥴🥴
Trump should be speaker….😍🇺🇸
He does not
What a sh*t show.
✊🇺🇸🇺🇸JIM JORDAN IS THE RIGHT MAN ✊🇺🇸✊REPUBLICANS TRAITORS DO SOMETHING POSITIVE FOR THIS FALLING NATIÓN.
ROMANS CHAPTER 1 VERSES 26/32🏳️🌈✍️
2 PETER CHAPTER 3✍️✍️✍️✍️✍️✍️
NOPE…give me Scalise or Jordan over the RINO, McCarthy.
Sounds like Biased reporting.
How
I hope the real Conservatives are talking to the Dems and Hakim gets in. Ha ha that would teach them.
Country first stupid not conference
This GQP chaos and division may be on full display, bit most Americans aren’t paying much attention. Americans had short memories and in some cases will vote the same GQP clowns back into office in two years.
Trump45 is the best President EVER -Trump45-Trump46–Trump47 MAGA – Building AMERICAS Border walls with MASS illegal immigrant DEPORTATION 🇺🇲👍
The republicans are ripping their rewards for backing a traitor for office with open eyes.
JAN 1 Republican Majority ousted and Removed Swamp RAT CHENEY n Drunk NAZI Piglosi from our US Congress n NEVER to return 🇺🇲👍
The greatest challenge of this world is knowing enough about a subject to think you are right, but not knowing enough about the subject to know you are wrong…
That’s up chuck todd. We don’t want a speaker that will cave in to the liberals that’s macarthy
The next Republican speaker is going to be Jim Jordan without a doubt stop acting like only the other side matters abc
This is the most fun I’ve had watching politics since Trump lost in 2020. It’s even replaced the Karen Lake Comedy Court Show.
Not McCarthy
Somebody please explain to me why Republicans are voting for Speaker. Article I, Section 2, Clause 5 says “The House of Representatives shall chuse their Speaker…” but many of the Republicans currently voting for Speaker have not been sworn in, and are therefore NOT members of the House of Representatives. Why are Republicans violating our Constitution again?
👏🏿👏🏾👏🏻👏🏿👏🏿👏💙
HOW ABOUT DONALD J TRUMP FOR SPEAKER HE WOULD SOLVE EVERY PROBLEM JUST BY THINKING ABOUT IT AND POSSIBLY BE THE GREATEST SPEAKER EVER SEEN IN THE HISTORY OF THE USA HIS INAUGURATION WILL PROBABLY BE SEEN BY THE BIGGEST CROWD EVER PERIOD.
F.chuck Todd wouldn’t know the democratic process because he has he has spent too much time squealing for the unconvicted criminals that have screwed the American people. To all the dopey comments here, Keep in mind, you too are paying for the 32 trillion debt consisting of money printed out of thin air. Your sons and daughters will hate you for it.
The comment about rats over a crumb was so spot on. These folks , we, as voters, have elected, are actually in office as we speak! They don’t really seem to be listening, were talkin’ the govs, reps, lawyers, cops, russian billionaires, who cares these days? Absolutely , not one person, not even Elon Musk, who somehow convinced the world he actually ran the world, sadly mistaken I’m afraid. Tesla is in flames, and will be due to competition from the world.
LOL You made the crazies now deal with them! We all know the Republican party is a no-sum gains party. We’ll see this party that is notorious for taking their ball home and see if they can actually negotiate with each other to come to an agreement. This ought to be very interesting since they are the party of no.
Leader McCarthy,kiss my grits!
i got two sony xplodes speakers they louder than all those idiots
Not rupturing. A positive break from a poisonous past.
Republican party is such a sad joke. Cowards and the most disgusting group of Republicans that have kept their seats and just shows how little they will get done in congress.
Jordan and McCarthy being the top candidates for the republikkklans🥴😂🤣 says too much about how disgusting they are. They would all be embarrassed if they weren’t so self centered and diluted.
This is incredible….what’s going on with the Republicans??? No one conceded to just vote for him? Interesting. Why don’t they like him? Maybe just give it to hakeem
McCarthy sounds of tears as he pleads his case. Wow.😢😁
If Jeffries won the most votes, shouldn’t he be the Speaker?
Kevin McCarthy deserves that job. I’m so disappointed the American people ask for him to be speaker of the house. That’s the decision the American people made. Herri
Republican needs a fighter.
Somebody turn on that ChaChaSlide song on in there.
Jeffrey will always win he’s a black man and they always vote for their own. Just like Latino We’ll pay their own before a white person. I’ve lost all respect for you Matt after that. You know we need that house bad. The only thing we ever asked for is Kevin McCarthy to be speaker of the house and you can’t even give us that. If you guys wanted a job where you can call in by phone or leave or always vote by proxy cause you’re too If you guys wanted a job where you can call in my phone or leave or always by proxy cause you’re too lazy to get in there. How say it again we wanted Kevin McCarthy so don’t go get none his case he’s the only 1 that offer to help us.
Thank you republicans for providing the world continues moments for laughing at the complete disaster the disfunctional and corrupt party you all are. More popcorn please
Just goes to prove how wasted a vote is for the republican party which in no way shape or form can run a country competently
Let them fight!!! Lol
Shows out right the corruption that the old politicians are involved in the newer republicans are hero’s trying to do the right thing . A lot of the comments on this shows the blindness of people or the stupidity I believe the latter.
Stop being stupid Jordan does not want it elect Mccarthy and let’s take the democrats to task the longer they act like kid the congress cannot get a thing done and they were going to take the house and get things done so do it
The GOP are eating themselves from the inside out in real-time, but due to their incompetence & unwillingness to accept responsibility or reality, they’ll blame DEMS for the chaos they’re starting that’s going to affect regular citizens.
The GOP members need to support their party instead of backing a demonrat. They had rather have a demonrat. They should become demonrats and leave the GOP party
Republicans are the swamp, let them drown in their own muck.
Maybe. the American people do not want Kevin as speaker. It would be okay. Jeffries is not such a mess. He isn’t into chaos and conflict. Maybe we could have a government without insurrection. Kevin can’t handle this job.
MAGA will sink the Republican party.
Chuck Todd is a joke…
This is that red wave he spoke of.
Just more fake news Lonnie ray
Isn’t this the fascist Trumpers against he rest of us of both parties?
Former Congressman Ron Paul for Speaker of the House!
“End The Fed” Speaker!
Speaker? Stutterer of the House!
I am thrilled that the Republicans are doing exactly what was predicted: NOTHING BUT CHAOS.
The Republicans have lost all credibility long before Trump. Donald just made that final push over the edge.
Good riddance
In European politics this isn’t a problem… All that matters is having a majority, so there is nothing stopping McCarthy from becoming speaker using 212 democrat votes and 6 republicans, now I can see it is a bit harder with the two system dictatorship, Europa with many smaller parties system, with at best 20% of the votes, means Democratic countries always have to negotiate with enough others to get anything done, that result in heavy minority protection and that is insanely important in a democracy, because if you think democracy is majority dictatorship you have failed at, like in UK and USA.
The clown bus has arrived. Trump-monkeys trying to take over the zoo. Side-show Santos!
Hakeem Jeffries will be a great Speaker.
😄😄😄🤣🤣🤣
This pervert Matt..sit down weirdo..
It’s called “democracy” Chuckie.
God save the GOP with clowns like Gaetz and Jordan in the party😭🤣😂😅
This is just awful that they can’t find not one person that will actually fight for the American people is very, very sad!!!
20 people is not a rupturing
MAGA Republicans are “never McCarthy” Republicans. RINO Republicans will vote Democrat before MAGA. Jeffries is the most likely candidate to win speaker. RINOs must vote Democrat to get a Speaker. By doing so they will strike a death blow to their political careers. MAGA exposing RINOs is a huge win for MAGA. If RINOs hold out, there will be no legislation for 2 years.
McCarthy and Scalise they make a losing team
Man shut up ain’t nobody happy but fake news always saying something negative about republicans…is it happy about out southern border…why don’t you be there for a while
Hehehehe. Hilarious.
If this is how are govt works I am moving to another country what a f**king joke,🤣🤣
Republicannibalism
It’s a big decision of who will be the next president after Biden and Harris impeachments for sheer incompetence. Make the right choice.
McCarthy has long been unfit. THey’d be better off with Santos. However, they have a MAGA problem. Until they neuter that nut caucus, the party will continue to fail. Isn’t three lost elections enough for them?
Seems Democrats are the only ones who have their caucus united and together…..BRAVO.
McCarthy sold his soul to Trump after Jan 6th knowing Trump LOST in 2020. He should NEVER be speaker……He’s even now selling his soul to get the gavel.
Chuck Todd’s intense hatred for the Republican Party comes from his abusive father and alcoholic mother.
We need speaker/leader not rino .
The people sitting around Gaetz don’t look at all enthusiastic.
Why not two house speaker.
Jim Jordan plus Mc.Carthy.
C’mon They need to get organized over on the republican side ..lol
Can you just report the news instead of painting the Democrat view . We all know that your company is paid by the feds ! Shameless .
What your seeing here is real democracy!
This how a real democracy works. No dictator comes out in the party and says, everyone will fall in line and do as I tell you, call the press and tell them what they will say and do today. That would be the Democrat/socialist/communist Party. The Republican party is made up of members that think for themselves, present their opinions openly and are openly debating their positions. That is what you do in a Republic, that is what you do in a democracy. Debate is good, debate is what America is all about. Pelosi and the Democrat Party had shut that down when they assumed power.
This is why we need a 3rd party, the Republicans can’t even agree to vote one of their own
We may need 3 parties, but the Republican party, that surrendered unconditionally to Donald (the first potential dictator in American history) Trump, does not need to be one of them !
There’s a lightning quick way for Republicans to regain control and smack down the right wing crazies for good so they never try these stunts again. Nominate a Republican for speaker who the Democrats will support. 212 votes Boom!!! Has anyone talked to John Huntsman lately?
This is to distract you from the grotesque omnibus bill that your Marxist government recently stuffed up everyone’s noses. And it doesn’t matter what banana speaks for these DC traitors.
Yo who’s the babe??????????
Who cares Kevin now your for country, then why not support country when trump whom you supported, attacked this country…..stfu……goodbye you sound DAF
Lol make America great again, are republicans going to blame the Biden administration and democrats for them not being able to choose a housespeaker?it’s like watching and listening to fox news showmanship again republican guest always blames the democrats or biden for inflation, gas prices,bla , bla,bla and the whole world watches and we start passing bills to prevent rubbish like this happening by people only interested in the money and influence and control instead of benefiting who they represent and the everyday American people
Jim should lead.
Does the democratic leadership have any plans to start running the country ? Or are ya just gonna let it free fall into a pit while your attention is elsewhere ? It’s been 2 years , 6 trillion dollars .. nothing accomplished .. anybody going to actually complete this job you were entrusted with ? It’s kinda a big deal ..
Dems could nominate and vote for Liz Cheney as Speaker of the House.
Federally legalize marijuana!!! No red votes from me .
This guy has ties to Kkk in his own home town spoke at their convention
TREMENDO CONSUMO SATANICO DE ADRENOCROMO DEL VATICANO EN EUROPA.
Whatever happened to old-fashioned journalism that focused on policy, facts, truth, details, and interests of the voters rather than the commentators to avoid political rhetoric to sway imprints. The policy of do not disagree is socialism. Freedom is voice not silence. This attacking is wrong, where are the adults in the room. Here is the problem. All people are Americans. Right vs Left is to balance, but power out of control is toxic. The Pelosi regime is gone. Time to start fresh once again. Obama is not President, stop promoting his rhetoric.
Take your time Republicans and get it right.
