Why would you want to elevate the most ineffective Whip in modern Republican history to Speaker?
I guess I am unaware of his “ineffectiveness.”
I am largely aware of his voting record. He almost lost his life for his service as a congressman and came back with a good attitude and continues to serve. That’s a hero to me. If there are negatives to consider I am all ears.
I read such things as this:
He’s in his 8th term representing part of New Orleans and its suburbs. He supported Trump.
The NRA gives him an A+.
The Washington Blade said when he was shot, “Scalise has built over the course of his tenure in Congress since 2008 among the most anti-LGBT reputations of any lawmaker.”
NORML gives him a D for opposing the legalization of marijuana.
He can unify the party.
If I can see the need for a Speaker Scalise from Poca, West Virginia, then they can see it in Washington. - Don Surber
