GOP Drama: ‘Furious’ Margorie Taylor Greene Throws ‘Friend’ Matt Gaetz Under the Bus — ‘He Supported Paul Ryan’
Breitbart ^ | 01/03/2023 | HANNAH BLEAU

Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) went off on some of her Republican colleagues on Tuesday as the contentious speakership vote is underway, telling reporters that some of her Freedom Caucus colleagues and “supposed friends” have been demanding positions for themselves and acting hypocritically.

“We have been negotiating talking, debating back and forth in our conference, trying to come to a really good rules package,” she said, explaining that she witnessed a very different story in the conference meeting, where she discovered that “several members, three, in fact,” went “last night and were demanding positions for themselves, demanding gavel positions, demanding subcommittees, demanding for people to be taken off committees and people to be put on committees.

The times I’ve seen him on committees and questioning people, he seems to be a fighter and goes after the people...

Jim Jordan is my choice for speaker; and “some game” may be afoot. Jordan continues to “support” McCarthy, but he has not stated he would refuse to seek or accept the speakership... I watch and wait...

Who you support is your business. Unlike others on here, I don’t judge folks on that. I’m from Georgia. I know the area she represents.

Again, what idiots making fools of themselves? Some Reps that are keenly aware that McCarthy, having been groomed by Ryan, will
Get absolutely ZERO done and kick every can down the road.

He said the other day, to appease the mindless sheep, the first act of Republicans in the House will be to get rid of 87,000 IRA agents. Sounds great, don’t it? He can’t do that. The busget for ‘22-23 is done. And the funding for them was in a separate bill, signed by the President. So he’d have to get it passed in the House and Senate then send it to the WH. Not happening.

Do you think he’s mad that the budget is done for this year? He’s ecstatic. He has nothing to do but run his mouth.

So did Gowdy. Hell Gowdy was awesome at it. Truly. And when it was time for the rubber to meet the road, nothing.

And I say that understanding that as a committee member there isn’t all that much one can do.

‘...It’s very difficult to understand why a politician who has brought his nation to its knees economically, politically and socially would so strongly, or even illegally, seek to continue leading it.

How can someone who has bankrupted this country seek to continue leading it? Lead to where? To further bankruptcy, ruin?...”

If, in these comments, you are referring to Biden, that man is too demented and too lost to see what he’s done to the country...he only knows what he is told by his handlers...

Correctamundo, sir.

This is what happens when you lose.

We are in a bad position but we do not need to make it worse.

Have some sympathy, McCarthy was dealt a losing hand with the budget deal. Pelosi held all the cards and could steam roller him and there was nothing he could do about it.

The Senate Republicans could have held the line.

I really don't envy McCarthy as he has a real bunch of corrupt losers in his caucus he has to wrangle.

Would love to see a better outcome, but the guys pushing their power play are acting like they just won a 70 seat majority when they barely have a working majority. The House is our only check on Biden and we can't afford to lose it. I am probably delusional, but my gut tells me circumstances may dictate that McCarthy works out better than his past history may suggest.

Republicans always in disarray. Democrats stick together like glue.

There are two parties: Patriots Party and Deep State Cabal Party.

The dems you speak of are obviously DSC's; the R's you speak of are in the Controlled-Opposition wing of the DSC.

Well, I’d like to see how he would do in a higher position...
He seems to be better than a lot of the republicans in Congress...

I think she’s generally been good but sorry, go along to grt along doesn’t work. She probably already has a committee role. If they were keeping her away from everything would she still be playing ball? If Liz Cheney got on committees who knows who else gets on. More Chaos please. As long as a Rat doesn’t become speaker let’s it rip. This is much more fun than investigations that go nowhere.

This is great evidence for throwing out everyone in DC

The Brunson brothers agree.

That’s absolutely false.

Kev and Mitch were not 100% with Trump, yet he endorsed them. There are others.

I didn’t say anything about Kev and Mitch, I said Trump was 100% behind McCarthy. I said, if you don’t support everything Trump does, you are against him.

After he was nominated TWICE, did Jim stand up and say “I don’t want it.” No, he did not.

Jim’s waiting to see how this plays out.

He WILL be the next speaker.
