Rep. Austin Scott Statement on House Speaker Paul Ryan's Retirement April 11, 2018
WASHINGTON, DC ā Today, Congressman Austin Scott (GA-08) released the following statement upon the announcement that Speaker of the House Paul Ryan (WI-01) will not seek re-election:
āFor the last two decades, Paul Ryan has selflessly served our country, and his character, integrity, and leadership will certainly be missed in the House of Representatives. Under Speaker Ryan, the House has delivered meaningful tax reform, increased funding to ensure the U.S. military remains the most capable fighting force in the world, and advanced significant legislation that preserves economic opportunities and individual liberties for our children and grandchildren.
āSpeaker Paul Ryan is a great friend, and I wish him all the best.ā
Might as well leave McHenry in the position. At least he tossed Pelosi out of "her special office".
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene .. for one.
This fellow has an oddly shaped district - it’s drawn as if to avoid cities: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgia%27s_8th_congressional_district#/media/File:Georgia‘s_8th_congressional_district_(since_2023).svg
Thanks for posting—let me repost it in case somebody overlooks your original post.

Thank you, I overlooked her.
“This fellow has an oddly shaped district - itās drawn as if to avoid cities:”
Gerrymandering, I’m shocked!
They tossed her from the office because she led them to believe if Kevin caved and gave the rats what they wanted they would protect him then she reneged. Thatās why McHenry removed her from the office.
OK then. Austin Scott is outed.
I lived there for 8 years till recently and I donāt know him either.
CR Liberty Score: 65%
No thanks!
Jim Jordan: 94%
Agree
Those are the gold standard for scoring. He’s obviously voted for a lot of trash
RINO ALERT
Then I was right that Sherman leaving wouldn’t count.
I figured you at least wanted post-Reconstruction.
Would Zell Miller be better than any of the present lot?
They just want somebody that the moderates can vote for, so they found a slightly more conservative member (a D instead of an F rating).
I heard this guy speak once right after McCarthy was booted. She sounded like she was very upset and going to cry. I was not impressed by her.
Erik Erickson just spoke about Scott on his radio show, and had nothing good to say about him. Says Scott is his congressman and had nothing good to say about him.

Clearly the left & deep state are trying to prevent Jordan from winning. Makes no sense for this no name to run.
If Jordan wins the speaker ship there will be no lingering doubt that Trump is totally in charge of the government. Jordan would have to be basically placed there as too many moderates don’t want him or any other conservative.
