“Carnival of idiots!”
This is not the name of a new jam band music festival, nor is it the title of a podcast that focuses on the deterioration of state fairs across the country. It’s how Fox & Friends co-host Brian Kilmeade chose to describe House Republicans currently embroiled in an embarrassing bit of legislative chaos trying to elect a new Speaker of the House.
It’s been two weeks since Rep. Kevin McCarthy was voted out of the speakership by roughly a dozen rogue members of the GOP congressional caucus led by Matt Gaetz, aligned with Democrats who were not eager to throw their political rival a lifeline. Since then, things have been a shit show, with Jim Jordan leading the pack to become the next House Speaker, despite his refusal to admit President Joe Biden won the 2020 election and his reported key role in the events of January 6th.
Following a news report, Steve Doocy revealed that it appears that there are currently 10 hold outs and that Jordan will NOT get the votes needed in a vote planned for Tuesday, to which both Lawrence Jones and Ainsley Earhardt agreed was “ridiculous.”
Earhardt then called on Fox & Friends viewers to vote out of office the members of Congress currently opposing Jordan’s bid. “Don’t forget this if you live in an area where your congresswoman or congressman if they’re the ones that are holding out,” she said. “Don’t forget this when it comes time to vote. Republicans need to unite and stick together. The Democrats do it beautifully, and Republicans, for some reason, can’t seem to.”
After Doocy reported on backroom deals over funding of Ukraine and Israel to help get Jordan elected, Kilmeade exasperated, “what, a carnival of idiots. It’s unbelievable.”
“The land of misfit toys,” Earhardt concurred.
GOP will put it together.
Remember how many votes taken before confirming McCarthy?
Cool It. It will be OK.
“Carnival Of Idiots” would be a better name for “Fox And Friends”. Certainly more accurate.
“Oh noze - the yappy urbanoid trash @ Fox is still mad about McCarthy”
Except they’re complaining about the inability of Republicans to unite for Jordan, not about McCarthy’s defeat.
Fox and Friends must have hired the Bud Light manager.
Perhaps at the end of this the country will realize that the Gaetz crowd is not good for the country and we will finished with them.
The long and short of it is that we have a process and it’s being followed. Its kind of ugly...but the country is not falling apart.
Your second sentence describes precisely the ugly process why and how Matt G. and the brave seven backed up by a great many in the Republican party that did not need to vote with them, were able to accomplish the removal of the speaker.
You have not explained how Matt G. and crowd are not good for the country? An explanation that will lead to a conclusion rooted in go along to get along and establishment business as usual.
Chaos????
Where is ALL THIS CHAOS that I hear about?
We had a Speaker, who should of never been Speaker. He was called out, an now another will be elected Speaker.
OMG, Omg, OMG!! It’s chaos!!!
/S!
“Now, they are enjoying the pickle Gaetz got us into!”
In other words, you take it as gospel the rantings of these Murdoch puppets.
Check Hakeem web page.
He is claiming that only bipartisan coalition can solve the speaker problem.
Looks like he is looking forward to be the next speaker!
Because they do not care. They enjoy Reps in a pickle and will not help them to get out of it.
They are having fun criticizing that Reps have no leader.
If they cared about things getting solved, hey would help outvote the few Republicans relegates.
Thanks but couldn’t give one single f what any of the turds at Fox say or do.
If they all died tomorrow I’d either not notice or laugh.
“”””“Carnival of idiots!” This is not the name of a new jam band music festival, nor is it the title of a podcast that focuses on the deterioration of state fairs across the country. It’s how Fox & Friends co-host Brian Kilmeade “”””
This is another reason we all need to tell our real friends, again and again, that FOX is not their Friends.
UNFRIEND FOX!!!!!!!!
Jordan will win it on the 10th vote. Bet some phones are burning up.
Kilmeade is right.
The holdout republicans are the idiots. What is it they want?
GET THIS DONE, already!
Who cares what’s being said on that Uniparty circle jerk, Fox? You have two choices, America First Jordan or another Uniparty (R) hack. The rate at which the Uniparty government is destroying the country dictates we have Jordan or just shut the swamp down as long as possible.
Inanity.
Brian kilmeade is a TOTAL RINO MORON! Working to top DOOCY!
Right. We should have men in place to quickly and quietly step in. Appointed ones. No argument, no debate, no vote — just the tyranny of the appointed stepping swiftly in. Like in red China. They are so wonderful and orderly.
“Perhaps at the end of this the country will realize that the Gaetz crowd is not good for the country and we will finished with them.”
GO AWAY TROLL.
Gaetz crowd is just what this country NEEDS!
Vermont? Really?
