Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) blasted Republican members of Congress for rejecting House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA) as speaker.
Scalise was initially the party's nomination for speaker of the House but has since been replaced by Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) as their nominee. The Louisiana representative was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a relatively uncommon but treatable blood cancer, per his announcement in August. This diagnosis was cited as a reason to remove him from the running.
"I’m dumbfounded that GOP Members (& Trump!) used Steve Scalise’s cancer as a reason to abandon him on the House floor—after nominating him for the job!" Raskin wrote on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.

No one is asking you, Raskin; and you wouldn’t have voted for him anyway.
Scalise is a good man and I like him a lot but his issue is that he is too much like McCarthy, it would be like McCarthy never left I wanted a change
Hey raskin, he was rejected for his ideology, not his blood disease. Always looking for a card to play.
Why does it matter what Raskin has to say?? Is he some celebrity who commands respect??
Bidens brain dead and he’s playing the president for Petes sake.
Scalise has been taking money from Black Rock since 2014 as well as from Google and Facebook!😟
He rates at 58% on liberty.
The MSM will run with this lie and the GOPe will let them. They want vengeance for throwing Kevin the cuck off the chair
All he needs a patch and a parrot
If Ratsass is against it, I guess I’m for it.
AAaaaaarrrgggh!
That’s not why they dumped him. The fact that YOU are unhappy that they dumped him IS WHY they dumped him. The overwhelming majority of right leaning voters do not want spineless Assistant Democrat RINOs.
If Raskin thinks it’s a bad thing, it’s a good thing.
Ratskin (er...Raskin) is a MARXISM LOVING, CONSTITUTION HATING DEMOCRAT AND HAS THE LIFETIME TNA 13% RECORD TO PROVE IT!

The country you save WILL be THE ONE IN WHICH YOUR KIDS AND GRAND KIDS WILL HAVE TO TRY TO LIVE!
raskin is just too used to the democrat standard of running candidates of stroke and dementia.
Raskin actually said “I’m dumb” and a commie but it’s transcription got scrambled.
Thanks for your opinion Rat SKIN, now go away,
He is PURE EVIL, SO ARE ALL DEMOCRATS!
