Hakeem Jeffries just ripped Jim Jordan to pieces
House Republicans reluctantly picked Jim Jordan as their next nominee for Speaker of the House on Friday, but he currently isn’t close to having the votes to actually become Speaker. That’s right, even House Republicans hate Jordan.
Now Democratic House leader Hakeem Jeffries is ripping Jim Jordan to pieces:
Hakeem Jeffries "House Republicans have just elected a Speaker nominee who in 16yrs in Congress hasn't passed a single bill. His focus has not been on the American people, his focus has been on peddling lies and conspiracy theories and division." pic.twitter.com/x9jF2ThbgP

The kicker is that some influential House Republicans are so desperate to stop Jim Jordan from becoming Speaker, they’re openly asking Hakeem Jeffries what kinds of concessions House Democrats would want in exchange for helping to make someone else Speaker. We’re at that stage of House Republican implosion.
