Disgusting and unacceptable. All Republicans should be required to support the party nominee for Speaker, period.
Hey anti 17thers, this is the kind of shite you could expect in Senate races if you got your way.
That’s the same stunt we endured in TN not so long ago with a treacherous RINO getting the Dem caucus to elect him House Speaker (as a puppet for the former Dem Speaker). They get their brief shot at power, but in the end, they’re ultimately distrusted by both sides and never move beyond that post.
