#JimJordan #House #Speaker
Carlos will be voted out of the house! Jim Jordan should be speaker! Your all traders to your own party! If you can’t get your own way, get out!
This man is what is wrong with America.
Gimenez is a RIno – His one less vote is a vote for the DEMS… VOTE for your Constituency Carlos not your own interests!
Followers as the American people?
People if you are a conservative individual and you belong to the repugnican party it is time to get out. This party no longer represents conservatives. I encourage you to look at the Constitution Party. Go research the platform of the Constitution Party and see if it aligns better to your ideologies. The repugnican party has failed all true conservatives.
Time for this clow to go. Florida vote him out!
Gimenez your constituents are watching…..
These are the Republicans we need to get rid of
Thank you !!! And i agree mc Carthy got the shaft and thats the maga republicans at their worst!!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
This guys sounds more like a teen age girl in a school dispute….McCarthy voted for Jim Jordan!!
RINO! VOTE OUT RINOS
Gimenez one of the good leaders!!!
Yea and come clean on his part in the insurrection!!! And trump lost the election ,or go down with the ship!!!
The laws are for you jordan!!!
Coward RINO
Trump needs to dtay out of it and get some mental help!!!!
Hey p#ssy you either get on board or you will be replaced next go around. Floridain’s will see to it.
Huh??
McCarthy made a bunch of promises that he did not keep. That was how he got the speakership. He was rightfully ousted by the people he made the deal with, too bad too sad.
That guy is butt hurt
Are there any reporters out there with a spine who will pushback on the idea that this was the fault of the Democrats? The Democrats voted against the resolution to let the Speaker be removed by one person, but the Republicans wanted it and put it in. Now that it’s been used to make GOP chaos, the snowflake GOP members and with their victimhood complexes are blaming the Democrats for not saving them from themselves.
How often have Republicans voted for a Democrat to be speaker of the house, and if they wanted the votes of Democrats, why didn’t McCarthy contact even one of them to ask for it? Instead, he broke the handshake deal he made with Biden, and after getting the Democrats to work with him and push through a 45 day budget to fund the government and keep it working, he got on TV the next day and didn’t hail it as proof of bipartisanship. Instead, he accused all of the problems of being the fault of the Democrats.
All the GOP reps do is like and crap about the Democrats and then have a tantrum that the Democrats, the only adults in the room, aren’t fixing things for the Republicans too. These right wing children need to grow up and learn how to wipe their own a$$es instead of blaming the stink on others, but they won’t until reporters push back on their lies hard. Come one, NBC, do your job and stop helping to spread disinformation.
Well looks like we won’t have a speaker then
Thier all a bunch of goofs
How can Republicans actually blame the Democrats for the situation they’re in? After Democrats helped bail out McCarthy, he turned around and threw them under the bus. And now Republicans are whining the Dems won’t throw them a bone? Give me a break. This is a Republican problem, created by Republicans. I believe that Jeffries could unify the house and Congress can get to the business of the people. The reason they are all there in the first place. Republicans seriously need to get over themselves and stop acting like spoiled children, smh
It IS Jim Jordan or bust. Literally. He’s the only one for the job. Who elected this sleepy old rino from Florida? You need to go back to Florida. Buy you a condo at Del Boca Vista and disappear. Or, better yet, Ukraine. And let’s not forget, Jordan himself was against this so-called coup. So, it wasn’t a coup at all.
and THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES MR GIMINEZ, DO NOT WANT KEVIN MCCARTHY. DIDNT WANT HIM TO BEGIN WITH. YOU ALL DID NOT LISTEN TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. YOU RINO
The difference between Democrats and Republicans is that the former always march in lockstep. Their fuhrer gives the order and they close ranks, with once in a blue moon exception such as Manchin. The Democrat motto is: Born to Rule.
You’re wasting time dude!!!!!!
Carlos, we will primary you!! It’s not intimidation, it’s a promise!!
I totally agree with Rep. Gimenez that Kevin is the best leader.
Classic rino
Carlos u r a rino. By not voting for Jordan you ARE voting for the muslim. No you are not committed to conservatives and can retire anytime a multi millionaire, u prefer a muslim.
I HOPE HE STANDS STRONG! JUST SHOWS YOU HOW EVIL JORDAN IS AND MORE IMPORTANTLY MAGA EXTREMISTS
Traitor!!!!!!
That is exactly right just not MAGA THEY ARE NOT FOR THE PEOPLE THEY ARE FOR TRUMP!
DON’T LOWER YOURSELF THOUGH TO BLAME THE DEMOCRATS. BLAME MCCARTHY FOR NOT STAYING COMMITTED TO THE DEALS HE HAD MADE WITH THE WHITE HOUSE. YES I AM REPUBLICAN. MCCARTHY ALSO DOING TRUMPS BIDDING! WHICH IS DANGEROUS TO AMERICA AS A WHOLE EVEN THE MAGA BACKERS! THEY JUST CANT ADMIT THEY MADE A MISTAKE BACKING A DICTATOR WANTING A DICTATORSHIP IN AMERICA! THEY HOPEFULLY WILL WAKE UP BEFORE IT IS TO LATE. UNLESS THEY HAVE A DESIRE TO KNEEL TO A DICTATOR!. THAT WILL NOT BE AN OPTION TO KNEEL BEFORE TRUMP IN AMERICA!
Hey Carlos are you afraid of Jim Jordan
Kevin McCarthy is a flim flam weakling and was selling out the American people by enabling the Commiecrats to get what they wanted while fleecing Real Repubicans at the same time. We’re not falling for it. It’s time to clean nhouse with Uni-party Republicans like Bacon, Lawler, Buck and Jumping Jimminez. Matt Gaetz did the right thing deposing Charley McCarthy.
One marked for no re election. We the people want Jordan, represent us. Unify you mean uniparty. Mitch needs to go as well.
Vote all these RINOs out immediately!
Jim Jordan is insane. We will see what happens
GET. OVER. YOURSELF. AND. ELECT. A. SPEAKER!
Yhey need to.chamge it to.80.percent of the cause.
Remember his face. He’s not for America.
If your a RINO, your a RINO.!
Oh come on Gimenez, grow up already! Get out of your ego and let go of it. We the People, Republican constituants, like Jim Jordan and you are required to vote according to the people, not your personal choice or grievances. This vote isn’t about you! Let go of yourself and rally around the party’s choice!!! Move on – grow up!
Bust
This POS forgets he works for his constituents
Mr.McCarthy is going to be the next Speaker.
He’s absolutely right 100% agree with him Jim Jordan we don’t want him to be the speaker of the house with all his crime and Trumper. It’s going to be a big problem for the republic 📌📌
so he wont vote and the democrats could take the speaker position wow
No Way he has done Nothing in 16 yrs in Congress, he is a Liar & Trump ‘s a TRUMP lackey who supports Trump ovwr the Constitution
Oye, giminez, que te pasa? Estas aceptando dinero de mc carthy? Rino!
Why do these people like to blame the Democrats for their own disfunction. Hakeem Jeffries should be speaker.
Republicans are thinking clearly by not voting for Jim Jordan, this disaster has a horrible record. Really? Much better people too choose from. Jim Jordan is a complete and utter disaster.
Gimenez, is a fool, the Republican Party has been governed by wackos. since Trump got elected. From a purely selfish point of view, I love it, the Republicans eating and destroying each other. But from the American people’s point of view, this really sucks, because nothing gets done. Republicans have become a joke. A bad, disgusting, destructive, soul draining, nightmare.
Stop blaming Democrats for the ousting of McCarthy as Speaker! This Republican Congress is a chaotic mess made by Republicans who can’t unite and Democrats have nothing to do with Republican infighting. Republicans need to get their act together to get down to the business for the American people, however they’ve been prioritizing going after President Biden with their bogus Impeachment Inquiry based on their allegations with absolutely no evidence to back up their allegations! Our adversaries are delighted to see the dysfunction and chaos that is this Republican Majority Congress!
He’s not backing Jorden because because he’s a swampy rhino. I’m from Canada and I can smell it from here.
This swamp creature has been bought.
Fake news. Consider the source!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Maga is not conservative
jordan would clean house and they know it.
You vote for McCarthy, you’re responsible for the election of Jeffries. Enjoy your primary race and subsequent retirement, sir. Learn to fly fish quickly.
But you are living in fantasy Kevin is not running and you know that. Most of the people want Jim Jordon so vote fore him. He is a good man
Where is this man from. Kevin needed to go
Kevin McCarthy is a RINO thats why these Republican RINOS are supporting him. We dont want McCarthy back.
Government doesn’t shut down.
It is a virus.
The tyranny exists until citizen soldiers use the 2nd Amendment for the purpose it was designed.
As a left leaning independent, i respect you for not falling for the BS!
The republicans have fallen far when they try to elect a speaker who has a record of being a president election denial, insurrectionist, a bully and much more to list here! It is surreal!
Somebody needs to run against him he’s on his way out Florida full of patriot Megas
As a Republican I am really embarrassed! Smh what a shame
What is the fastest route towards having a Democrats win in all the next elections on down to the dog catcher? Let these small minority run amuck and create chaos then reward them with more power. I am a life long Republican, if you think the Republican party has been under performing for the past few years because you can not clean up what happened on Jan. 6, IT IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN, well then you guessed right. There are very many republican’s I have spoken with that feel the same way. If you stop trying to B. S. us and get serious about doing the people’s business you might actually get a better out come. We are NOT “suckers and losers”. We don’t think that “I only like the one that don’t get shot down and captured” is right because that means the ones who got got shot down and killed (failed the mission) and those captured are all “suckers and losers”.
Why would you put a lier at the speaker on the house well you all did vote for that lier Donald Trump’ wow he lies a lot too Trump lies more than he tells The truth 😂😂😂😂😂
Jim Jordan? You’re serious?
Matt Gaetz sucks
Is he a RINO ? Biting off his nose to spite his face? Too prideful? Feeling disrespected? Being deceived by democrat harassers posing as Republicans? Maybe?
Jim Jordan is a proven Conservative, Constitutionalists and will make a great Speaker. McCarthy was a do nothing.
Trying to pin the blame on Democrats is hilariously misplaced. It’s not the Democratic Caucus’ responsibility to pick a Republican Speaker.
KEVIN is a Swamp Guy doing his own thing.
Biden-GOP refused Jim Jordan because they are still corrupt without Jim Jordan.
GOP chooses evil for American.
God and we choose Jim Jordan to cleanliness for sinful American, protect American right body, more.
God blesses Jim Jordan.
It’s ridiculous to blame the Dems period.
These seat warmers would rather kiss progresive media’s behind than support their constituents. Bought and paid for by lobbyists.
What tactics? Im confused..horrible journalism
Carlos, you are part of the problem.
And when exactly did the Democrats have the majority and we’re trying to vote for a Speaker of the House and all the Republicans banded together to vote in support of that person? It is not the Democrats job to vote for the Republican Speaker of the House
CARLOS JIMENEZ, you’ve been a ‘politician’ RINO since I met you in Miami! What a shame!! Vote out all these RINOS. Also, he doesn’t back up America First Agenda.
These Republicans that say they will not be part of a coup, HAD ALREADY DONE SO,IT’S THERE SILENCE AND SITTING BACK AND LETTING THESE FOLKS DO THESE THING AGAINST THE NATIONAL INTEREST.
You are the problem, Jim is the man for the job and you failed. Roll over clown and let the opposition stick it in.
Carlos Jiménez is getting pork
Carlos Jiménez is gonna come out like senator from New Jersey who was found to be a spy. Since them both are Cuban Americans I don’t trust them
It is Jim Jordan or bust and every Rino Republican that votes against them should be losing their job pretty quickly.
House Republicans need to get over their hatred for Gaetz and unite behind Jordan. Jordan backed McCarthy and McCarthy is now backing Jordan. Hope all these self serving politicians get primaried. We’re tired of their dysfunction and if they can’t do what their constituents want, they need to go. McHenry is a no, no. He helped negotiate the awful CR with Democrats. The GOP voter base wants Jordan.
Carlos Gimenez is a RINO, Vote him OUT
Carlos Gimenez is a Trump Hater!!!!
VOTE CARLOS GIMENEZ OUT!!!! No RINOS ALLOWED!!!!
Yes it is Jim Jordan or Marxist pimps. Don’t give in to the eunuch rhinos.
He’s a clown
Is he a rino? We are in this mess because in 1979, they decided to allow more than one law, one vote
