"I don’t know what to believe... I read one congresswoman said she heard Jordan tell Scalise that “Americans want me”. Sounds kind of arrogant if you ask me, and this turned off some of the Scalise voters. But that’s a dirty swamp place. People are mean in DC."

When have you ever EVER heard even an #MSM 'DC Whispers' article that even remotely suggested Jordan has ever spoken or behaved in this manner?

You said, "I read on congresswoman"? Ok, where did you "read" this? Let's share this link.

Some Scalise backers are particularly incensed over how Jordan handled losing to the Louisianan after the internal election this week.
“Absolutely not,” Rep. Ann Wagner (R-Mo.), a Scalise ally, said when asked if she’d back Jordan. “Yesterday in conference, he gave the most disgraceful, ungracious — I can’t call it a concession speech — of all time. There were gasps in the room.”
Wagner then recalled another moment that lost Jordan her support. It took place during a private meeting between Scalise and Jordan, less than an hour after the majority leader won the House GOP’s internal speaker ballot. Wagner wasn’t in the room, but she remained outside in Scalise’s office and took in the immediate aftermath.
According to Wagner and other House Republicans briefed on the meeting, Jordan said to Scalise: “You get one ballot. And when you go down, you will nominate me.”
She said Scalise pushed back, arguing he had won by the conference rules, to which Jordan replied: “America wants me,” before storming out the door.
