HAKEEM JEFFRIES wants to "accelerate" talks with RINOs over a new Speaker
Twitter/X ^ | Chad Pergram

A) Jeffries: There have been ongoing informal conversations that have been undertaken over the last few days. I think there's a possibility those can accelerate now that Jim Jordan clearly does not have the votes to be Speaker. For good reason.

B) Jeffries: are many good men and women on the Republican side of the aisle who are qualified to be the Speaker of the House of Representatives. There is no circumstance where Jim Jordan is one of them.

Dems will do what Jeffries tells them and can vote in lockstep on someone they agree on (A spineless RINO)

They’re obedient if nothing else

The point is if they do make an agreement the 212 Dem members will be told what to do and how to vote.

They always vote in lockstep. It’s why I think it could happen. 🤔

Also war in the ME and Continuing Resolution clock ticking gives them an excuse

“In the best interests of the country during a time of crisis”

“We HAD to do it!”

This could happen if they continue to deny Jordan.

What happens if/when Jordan gives up?

I’m livid they’re doing this 😡

I agree. I wasn’t trying to be dismissive of the possibility. I could definitely see the Democrats trying it and think there’s even a small but real chance that it could succeed. But if it did, I don’t see how the Republican party can continue as is. It might be the thing to finally cause the populist wing of the party to leave and form their own party.

“Great...a liiberal RINO hand-picked by Jeffries. Installed by Democrats and the 20 turncoats.”

Thanks Gaetz!

McCarthy had 15 rounds of voting so lets hope Jordan goes the distance

I’m worried he just pulls out and then this scenario is very much in play :(

I can't believe this is happening but he's talking about it so something must be afoot.

Unreal.


Real; this is the fault of Gaetz and the other 7 RINOs who voted with the Democrats to remove Kevin McCarthy as Speaker. Those who supported Gaetz were/are reckless, unseasoned, and self destructive.

Just Gaetz and his 7 RINOs who voted with every Democrat to remove Kevin McCarthy.

You are confused. McCarthy is the RINO.

O, I think Jeffries wants to be speaker. Flip 6 rinos and it happens. That would be so much better than McCarthy, no more investigation of the Biden brand etc…

With ppl like you on the other side, who needs Dems.

KM’s downfall was the doing of KM. He was already in coalition with Dems and already breaking his word on everything. Weasel Rs like you are the reason the Republic is in the current situation.
