Marjorie Taylor Greene supports Kevin McCarthy's bid for House speaker, says it's a 'bad strategy' for fellow Republicans to challenge him

I may like his political positions, but Gaetz is a buffoonish clown.

Remember -- this was the guy who swore up and down in early 2021 that he had sufficient GOP votes in the House to dump Liz Cheney from her senior leadership post in the House Republican Caucus. When the vote was held behind closed doors, she was re-elected by a wide margin.

Dear MTG, Its never a bad time to shut up.

Keeping Kevin doesn't help her agenda or mine.

[MayflowerMadam]

“She’s probably been promised something in return.”

Matt Gaetz strongly alluded to that on War Room tonight. Something like, “I don’t know what he promised her.”

I’m not a fan of MTG, but that being said, this sounds to me like she may have been offered some committee positions she really wanted. And if that is the case, perhaps she can do more if she has more power.

[Bruce Campbells Chin]

Note that she was speaking of strategy, not principle. Agreed, which is probably a distinction we should keep in mind more often generally.

[Macho MAGA Man]

That’s right. McCarthy has said he doesn’t want to hold impeachment hearings for Biden.

Speaker of what house?

...if it hasn't been called yet...it's as good as gone.

[Macho MAGA Man]

You’re right. I had forgotten she was removed from her committee position.

[RckyRaCoCo]

House of Pancakes?

I just meant since Trump is a McCarthy guy then the folks who are down on MTG should really be down on Trump.

The Don has entertained Kev at home. And supports him for speaker.

Until demographics is discussed, and the thought of Heritage Americans being replaced rapidly by illegal aliens, refugees, H1-B1 and green card holders and other assorted 3rd-world losers who have no fealty to our Constitution - all orchestrated by the Jewish lobby - then it doesn’t matter who wins Congress or who runs in 2024

I never said I did.

[BlackbirdSST]

She phoned into War Room a little while ago and justified her position (working with Gantz-FL) that the Dems could peel-off a few turncoats (such as the R-Reps that supported Jan-6) and elect a Democratic speaker of the house.

The jerk knees here couldn't figure that out on their own. The reason is obvious.

[rktman]

Yeah, I’m pretty much done with all of it. Make sure you and family are taken care of and close friends. Condition Orange + at all times now. Contempt-o-meter is off scale high. 🤔👍🇺🇸

“Well, it didn’t take her long to fall in line with the GOPe.”

You know who else fell in line with the GOPe? Trump. He endorsed McCarthy for Speaker just a few days ago.

(Let’s see how fast everyone attacking MTG for this changes their tune...)

[nickcarraway]

The race for Speaker happens in advance. Pelosi was challenged before, it didn’t mean a Republican Speaker.

[Olog-hai]

That’s all correct.

Like I said in another post, I do not anticipate anyone in the GOP voting against the nominee.

[Reynoldo]

“I read post #3 before I posted.”

11 seconds later ! WOW yer fast.
way to go

[bagster]

Oh no, my MTG. Obviously she thinks McCarthy can't lose and is vying for him to let her back in the tent.

I thought Trump liked him.
