Joe Scarborough Claims GOP’s ‘Extreme Members’ Will Soon Be ‘Dominating’ The House
Political Insider ^ | 11/18/2021 | John Hanson

Posted on 11/18/2021 10:12:16 AM PST by Signalman

On Wednesday, MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough cited a report that House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy had to bring peace between the members of his caucus “who are closely aligned with former President Donald Trump” and more moderate GOP members who joined the Democrats in passing the recent infrastructure spending package.

The “extreme” members, to Scarborough’s thinking, are those who opposed Biden’s $1.2 trillion ‘infrastructure’ bill.

Scarborough made these comments on his program “Morning Joe.”

Scarborough said McCarthy “sacrificed his political soul to be Speaker of the House” which in turn meant losing the respect of former President Donald Trump."

The “Morning Joe” host believes that “the most extreme members of the Republican Party” would soon be “dominating” that caucus.

He continued, “Donald Trump is saying more and more every day how little respect he has for Kevin McCarthy because he’s not siding with the really extreme members of that Republican caucus because he’s trying at times to act like a speaker in waiting should act, needs to act, but he can’t do that.”

“And so what we’re seeing is, in the words of my grandma, you don’t want to let that horse out of the barn,” Scarborough insisted. “The horse is starting to get out of the barn, and pretty soon, you’re going to see the most extreme members of the Republican Party inside the House caucus dominating what goes on there.”

The “Morning Joe” segment was in response to an NBC article that claimed that those Republicans who did not vote for Biden’s ‘infrastructure’ bill are “far-right.”

We MUST elect NEW Republicans.

Most of the current ones are just Assistant Democrats in R jerseys.

145 House members voted for Liz Cheney in Feb. to lead them, away from MAGA.

I don't know if they're 'far right' or 'mainstream' but I notice that Republicans who voted against the infrastructure bill are already starting to take credit for the money the bill is bringing into their district. Who didn't see that coming?

Peloton is one of the most vindictive, hate-filled partisans there is. Does Joe think she acts like a speaker of the house should act?

Funny. The assistant Dem party aka GOP removed Marjorie Greene and the other patriots from their house chairs. Where are these extremists you speak off, clown?

JFK would have been a radical right white-supremacist according to the left today.

How far we have come..... you can hate the radical left but you must respect what they have done. They punch so far above their body weight and they play to win on every stage that matters.

The GOPe plays to lose while lining their pockets.

“They punch so far above their body weight and they play to win on every stage that matters. The GOPe plays to lose while lining their pockets.”

Truer words have never been said.

For years, I’ve tried to say the same thing to other GOP activists in Minnesota. It doesn’t matter what stage - Congress, a county board of commissioners, a state legislature - Dems play to win. It’s not always that the GOPe is in it to line their pockets. We just so often lack the killer instinct.

Well, that's Good News!

Now we just need to make it better by convincing Joe The Marxist to leave America for good.

Maybe Mourning Joe is worried his worthless butt will be thrown in solitary at the D.C. jail.

See how he likes it.
