Good. Now he needs to be tarred and feathered.
He has been almost as destructive to this country as Obama.

Best thing he could do for the country.
I won’t join in any fist pumping or gloating. He has brought the HOR to a horrible crisis of tragic proportions. And he did only what he could do because the votes are not there for him.

Louis Gohmert would be a fine replacement (not that he’d get the votes, though).

Something's going on here. I can see him resigning his post as Speaker, but to resign from his congressional seat entirely?
Someone has some dirt on him. Some really slimy dirt.
