According to Breitbart, Steve Scalise (R-LA) is the driving force behind the twenty-two RINOs who have prevented Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) from clenching the House Speakership after two rounds of votes. Trump-endorsed Jordan is the clear choice of grassroots conservatives. A top House GOP aide reported, “[Constituents] are literally melting the phone lines. Some offices’ numbers are permanently busy. Thousands and thousands of people are calling their members of Congress demanding Jordan for Speaker.”

In fact, thirteen of the twenty-two holdout RINOs also accepted donations from Ryan Salame – almost all of them maximum donations.
The RINOs who accepted these funds include Kay Granger (TX-12th), Mike Simpson (ID-2nd), Carols Gimenez (FL-28th), Jen Higgins (VA-2nd) , Marinette Miller-Meeks (IA-2nd), Mike Lawler (NY-17th), Steve Womack (AR-3rd), Mike Kelly (PA-16th), Mike Simpson (ID-2nd), Mario Diaz-Balart (FL-26th), Linda Chavez-Deremer (OR-5th), Andrew Garbarino (NY 2nd), Tony Gonzales (TX-23rd), and John Rutherford (FL-5th).

Any bets that one of things at the heart of this speakership fight is keeping the Ukraine gravy train running, in spite of growing public sentiment against it?
Would you expect anything different from Congre$$?
They are all afraid that the investigations will lead to their doorsteps. They are protecting the ‘status quo’ because it is their livelihood and they don’t give a damn for their constituents. They view them as turkeys that need to be carved up.
On The Take , Can Be Bribed etc etc etc
So $2900 is all it takes to buy a Republican representative?
Throw him out.
All RICO from now on. They are projecting it on Trump, they know so we’ll.
Classic guilt projection.
When the Republicans serve lobbyists and not constituents, they will lose the support of their base. This does not portend good things for 2024.
Scalise and the 13 Rinos should be stripped of their leadership and committee assignments.
Scalise was a good conservative until that bullet hit his backbone and turned him into a “moderate”.
Evan if that hadn’t happened, Scalise wanted to be part of the House GOP leadership, which means you check your conservatism (if any) at the door or you don’t get in.
Now this coward is trying to play the role of behind-the-scenes puppetmaster and manipulate the RINOs with bribes.
I’ve always really liked Jordan he seems trustworthy and to have honest to goodness conservative principles. I was very happy to hear that he was in running be speaker of the House. Why do I get my hopes up like this? Those swamp creatures will never allow him to be speaker. :(
“So $2900 is all it takes to buy a Republican representative?”
times how many donor mules were set up by FTX to funnel money into their preferred congressmen.
Scalise CAN POUND SAND!!
heads up
“Scalise and the 13 Rinos should be stripped of their leadership and committee assignments.”

It seems many Freepers are showing themselves clearly conservative, and willing to see the camouflage of the RINOs as nothing more than that. As we have our family and friends whom we do influence, the notion that conservative principles trump simple party affiliation is rather a lovely thing to see.
Principled conservative positions. That alone gives hope for our nation's future.
Washington's farewell address of 1796 speaks loudly.
It is ironic in today's Democrat-RINO alliance that one of the original parties ( against which Washington warned of sectionalism ) was called the "Democratic-Republican Party." Today that phrase rings differently and in a very different way. Them against us, so often.
Best wishes to all.
......at the heart of this speakership fight is keeping the Ukraine gravy train
running at Mach speed in spite of massive public sentiment against it.......
The albatross around the necks of working class taxpayers.
I looked her up to see if she was related to Linda Chavez. That's how I got her correct name, Lori Michelle Chavez-DeRemer (born April 7, 1968) is an American politician from Oregon. Doesn't mention any relationship to Linda Chavez
A $2900 campaign donation is all it takes to buy a Republican representative plus countless
donor mules were set up by fraudster FTX to funnel money to the “preferred” congressmen.
The campaign “donations” are all about “spending.” Congress simplistically spends billions they do not have and did not earn, then saddles taxpayers with onerous borrowing costs. Taxpayers’ children and grandchildren are compelled to pay the outrageous bills.
Biden wants $100 billion for Israel and Ukraine?
<><>Why does the US have to go in debt for these pampered foreigners?
<><>Why cant they stand on their own two feet?
<><>Why cant wealthy Israel and money-grubbing Ukraine do the borrowing for their own needs?
