House Republicans Take Revenge on Democrats for Helping Oust Kevin McCarthy as Speaker
Breitbart ^ | 10/04/2023 | WENDELL HUSEBØ

Posted on 10/04/2023 9:39:38 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

House Republicans took revenge on their Democrat colleagues for voting with eight Republican lawmakers to oust Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) as speaker of the House.

Just hours after the House voted Tuesday on the motion to vacate the speakership, House Speaker pro-tempore Patrick McHenry (R-NC) kicked Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) from her Capitol Building hideaway office. A video circulating on X showed Pelosi’s office being vacated just after Republican leadership gave the order. Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-MD), the second-ranking member of the House Democrat leadership, was also asked to vacate his hideaway office in retaliation on Wednesday.

In political circles, this is tantamount to a double tap...

Love it!
Now turn attention to the DOJ and IRS and tear some new ones...

“What were they doing there in the first place? They should have been out of those offices day one.”

But they weren’t. McCarthy’s ouster was so very richly deserved.

Uniparty scamps are on notice.

I think McHenry is upset that Polosi didn’t back McCarthy like she secretly said she would. So he booted her and steny. Uniparty infighting.?

McCarthy should have done that. Kudos to McHenry.

That is fundamentally dishonest. Why are you being dishonest?

The fact that you care about optics when it comes to these clowns, tells me that you’re part of the problem, not part of the solution.

You think RINOS that vote with Democrats are the good guys? Are you saying Pelosi and Styner are not the opposition? are you saying the Democrats don’t stay together?

Democrats play hard ball all the time and Republicans “take the high road” and take it.

I say, punish them any way you can and let them know its payback. Make sure they understand that this is the “new normal” for Republicans and that they can expect to get it long and hard.

If they cry about it, drink their tears. As far as bad optics go...too bad! Democrats don’t give a $hit about that when they are pounding on Republicans!

Damn straight! Get down deep in the mud and give it back as fast as they sling it. Stop taking the “high road”!

That was the main thing I loved about President Trump. He dished it out more than they could give it and then they cried about it.

Drink their tears!

Every House Democrat that voted to remove the Republican House Speaker, and destroy GOP Unity should be charged with Obstruction and censured.

“let the dead bury the dead” - Jesus

pelosi always seems to be doing the wrong (in God’s word) thing. for all the babies she was party to killing, all the money she grubbed up for herself from deals etc she didnt deserve an extra room.

She owes the American people a debt she can never repay for all the harm and death she perpetrated by her votes for illegals and for all sorts of things to weaken good and implement evil.

God’s timing is perfect, and thankfully He gave someone the stomach to evict the squatter from extra space in The People’s House.

Diane was similarly evil, as was RBG and so many other women elevated into positions with power abilities. Few can withstand the lure.
