House Republicans descend into total madness as they accuse each other of having “no balls” and put the wrong names on nasty letters
Two days ago Palmer Report documented how House Republican Nancy Mace and House Republican Greg Murphy had begun sniping at each other on Twitter, to the point that Murphy blocked Mace, and then Mace used an emoji to call Murphy a p*ssy. Now it turns out it’s gotten even uglier, and it’s gone beyond the two of them.
Nancy Mace is now insisting that too many House Republicans have “no balls” – and in response Murphy has declared that he does have balls, and “they are real.” This is really happening. These are elected members of the federal government. And this is how they’re going about choosing (or not choosing, at it were) a Speaker of the House. It gets worse.
Mother Jones is now documenting how the eight House Republicans who voted to remove Kevin McCarthy have since sent a letter demanding that Jim Jordan become Speaker. This gang of eight is led by Nancy Mace (who keeps finding her way to the center of all this) and serial troublemaker Matt Gaetz. But one of the eight people who’s listed as having signed the letter, Ken Buck, is now asserting that he had nothing to do with the letter and never put his name on it, and doesn’t want Jordan to be Speaker.
Wait, didn’t Jim Jordan already get ousted from Speaker contention? Yet they’re still hung up on… whatever this is. They’re just crappy people being crappy to each other. And now that at least eight of these House Republicans are running for Speaker of the House, their behavior toward each other is likely to get even uglier.
