Yes it has. I thought McConnel and his pals did this?
Speaking of democrats throwing in with RINOs
There is nothing preventing the democrats from voting in McCarthy. Right now they are all voting for the lead democrat (I forget his name) but McCarthy could make a deal with the democrats for 20 votes. Then claim that he was elected speaker with “Bipartisan” support.
Unfortunately, the UniParty is evil enough to do that.
Looks like it ticked off 20 people. The other 202...not so much. If the TWENTY really want to show they’re ticked off, maybe they should stay in their offices and allow Dems to elect Jeffries Speaker. That would really show their anger at McCarthy.
