BREAKING: 9 House GOPers Reject McCarthy Deal
twitter ^ | Jan 1 | Chad Pergram

Posted on 01/01/2023 4:43:38 PM PST by RandFan

@ChadPergram

A) 9 GOP Hse mbrs or mbrs-elect sign a letter about McCarthy's offer to make concessions. "Regrettably, however, despite some progress achieved, Mr. McCarthy's statement comes almost impossibly late to address continued deficiencies ahead of the opening of the 118th Congress"

B) 9 GOPers on McCarthy: "At this stage, it cannot be a surprise that expressions of vague hopes reflected in far too many of the crucial points still under debate are insufficient."

C) 9 GOPers on McCarthy: "This is especially true with respect to Mr. McCarthy’s candidacy for speaker because the times call for radical departure from the status quo — not a continuation of past, and ongoing, Republican failures."

D) 9 GOPers on McCarthy: "For someone with a 14-year presence in senior House Republican leadership, Mr. McCarthy bears squarely the burden to correct the dysfunction he now explicitly admits across that long tenure."

E) 9 GOPers on McCarthy: "Thus far, there continue to be missing specific commitments with respect to virtually every component of our entreaties, and thus, no means to measure whether promises are kept or broken."

F) 9 GOPers on McCarthy: "Mr. McCarthy's statement also continues to propose to restrict the availability of the traditional motion to vacate the chair as a means of holding leadership accountable to its promises"

G) 9 GOPers on McCarthy: "We have from the beginning made clear that we will not accept following..Pelosi’s example by insulating leadership..We also note that the statement fails completely to address the issue of leadership working to defeat conservatives in open primaries"

H) 9 GOPers: "The progress made thus far has been helpful and should guide our thinking going forward."

I) 9 GOPers who signed the letter: Perry, Gosar, Roy, Bishop, Harris, Clyde, & Reps-elect Luna, Ogles & Crane.

Trump has been working the phones trying to secure the Speakership for McCarthy but hasn’t made much progress.

Anyone know what ‘concessions’ McCarthy made? Perhaps he promised to talk to the hold outs...to The Establishment, that would be a ‘concession’. But perhaps something that actually moves things forward?

Wish it was Matt Gaetz, who exemplifies what the GOP SHOULD be about.

But, practically speaking, Jim Jordan should be acceptable to all sides, and would make a great Speaker.

All signs point to McCarthy being another John Boehner/Paul Ryan wet noodle.

My very serious worry.

Not a good time to play chicken.

Jim Jordan does not want it. He feels he has other important work to do.

“Can’t afford this f’n around while the communists charge forward. We need leadership so committee and staff can get organized.”

Progress and getting organized is completely meaningless if it is GOPe driving the car. Time for them to bend to the will of the people thwarted by the stolen elections. Time for the GOPe to hold their nose and give in to every single demand.

“No. A Democrat will be speaker”

If that happens, every one of the GOP who caused it should be run out of Office. And maybe the entire GOP should be disbanded since the Dems will finish destroying our Country!!

To quote a friend of mine, they are all pieces of $—t.

They had their chance many times, even in Obama’s second term and then when Trump was elected and they blocked everything Trump tried to do. They are all bad.

McCarthy isn’t the enemy. We’re fighting communists. The battles will be waged and won in committee, not on the floor. The longer it takes to organize the slim majority, the more harm the communists inflict.

The enemy loves this pissin’ contest.
