I agree that Scalise is the favorite to become Speaker if McCarthy fails but I don’t think he’s any better than McCarthy.
I seem to recall that when Scalise became the house majority whip in 2014, he fired the most conservative staffers.
Regardless, McCarthy needs to go. He’s toxic.
“I seem to recall that when Scalise became the house majority whip in 2014, he fired the most conservative staffers.”
I believe his views may have changed after a Bernie Sanders volunteer caused a rather big kerfuffle on June 14, 2017...Ron DeSantis was there that day as well.
Look it up.
