  1. Culture war promotion will be the demise of the GOP and it is starting to show at the polls. The GOP needs a PRODUCTIVE agenda, not one like their current one, that generates negativity and marginalization. Hint: look at what the Democrats are achieving.

  2. SURELY WE NEED ADAM SCHIFF IN JAIL FOR LIES ON RUSSIAN COLLUSION..

  3. YEP WE THE REPUBLICANS NEED A BETTER REPRESENTATIVE THAN MCCARTHY or McConnell..???

  4. One way to change the odds here is to impeach all the repub house members that helped trump in the insurrection. What they are replaced with will hopefully be less insane than the radicals who were re-elected.

  5. Biden and pelosi who tried to push their Disinformation CRAP on Americans !! Here’s there Girl 😡 Former White House ‘Disinformation Czar’ Nina Jankowicz Registers as Foreign Agent

  6. Republicans have a chance to signal a new direction by choosing a someone whose isn’t a Trump sycophant. I’m betting they won’t get it done.

  7. McCarthy- I will do anything (218) reminds me of my renter said..🤣

  8. Mccarthy is a weakling. No way!!! Come on. He can’t even do the right thing.

  9. The guy from the UN was here today,. Inspecting 😘☝️

  10. This pathetic beggar is starting "investigations" (political harassment and intimidation). Plus he makes his staff call him "Mr Speaker" 😥🤣🤣🤣🤣 when the egg is still up the chicken's butt 🍑

  11. TRUMP2024🇺🇲😎🇺🇲👍🏾

  12. I'm still celebrating Pelosi leaving the chair

  13. Whoever becomes Speaker of House of Representatives will have a problem because they don’t have a clear majority.

  14. Kevin should call their bluff. If Kevin can’t get the votes, a D will (e.g. Hakeem). Is that what the R’s want? If the Freedom Caucus doesn’t support Kevin, they’ll get a D as Speaker. That can’t be what they want.

  15. Why is Biden's son-in-law running for President in 2024?????

  16. Why is Cheney speaker!!!!!!!

  17. mccarthy has got to go-
    so does mcconnell and the rest of the rino's-
    otherwise its just more of the same, like its been for the last 30 years, the establishment rino's and establishment democrats just leading us into needless war after needless war, raising our national debt, sputtering economies, broken promises like healthcare, immigration…. a continuation of the American decline, in every metric, that we have witnessed for 30+ years, all while the politicians have enriched themselves at levels not seen since the 1920's-
    our only hope of breaking this establishment, democrats and rino's, is through the republican party- the democrats are far gone-

  18. I think they could have done a better job explaining this… I didn't know who Comer was, and I had to look into this myself?

  19. Corrupt 'Quid Pro' Joe will be impeached. You can take that to the bank!!

  20. Why can’t politics just shut up for 4 days? Tired of seeing the brain dead think they are smart.

  21. MTG gonna be SO mad – she went to a lot of trouble to sew him up. Now she has to go work up leverage over some other poor jerk.

  22. scummy corrupt democRATS💩

  23. So what, Congress is owned corporate lobbyists, politicians still get bribes from the wealthy, the State Department is still overthrowing democratically elected regimes that aren't bothering Americans.
    Deal with those, then I'll care.

  24. What is Kevin McCarthy's position in the Trump Crime Family Organization?

  25. GOP need to make a female that new Speaker of the House

  26. The GOP need a new person as Speaker of House not Kevin McCarthy a young blood with new ideas send Kevin McCarthy home . Kevin McCarthy does not have no backbone he's spineless New Blood should be considered for the Speaker of the House for the GOP. The GOP need a female for their Speaker of the House. Kevin McCarthy will be indicted for playing a part in January 6th Riot on the US Capitol.

  27. MY FINANCIAL GOAL IS TO BE MAKING AT LEAST UP TO $1,000,000 EVERY YEAR BY INVESTING HEAVILY BOTH IN CRYPTO AND STOCK. I NEED GUIDIANCE. please comment below..

  28. They so scared that he might win to investigate these f*** up Democrats they need to be investigated

  29. Lightfoot / Fetterman 2024

  30. The GOP house only seems focused on impeaching and conducting investigations, how about actually doing something for the average citizen?

  31. Things the American people don’t understand? STOP belittling the American people. I am so sick of people like you.

  32. McCarthy talks about the Democrats wasting money yet he is going to do this with his agenda of investing Democrats. What McCarthy should be doing is creating legislation that will help with the imagination problem. There are laws that need to be followed. Democrats have tried to put legislation up and guess who voted against it?

  33. Kowtowing to the so called "Freedom Caucus"? Does that sound sensible? Such an unreasonable lot. Not a squeak about Trump's recent dinner companions but LapTop contents? No. I would be against kowtowing to The Freedom Caucus. But one suspects it is always being demanded by the same lot the GOP that doesn't recognise the need to answer to subpoenas – but wait a few weeks and watch the hypocrisy. They will attempt to have Reps jailed if – they don't kowtow to the Freedom Caucus.
    Kowtowing to the Freedom Caucus? Hmm.

  34. Please God in heaven, do not let McCarthy become Speaker. His reputation is completely in the toilet, so how can he still even be considered. I don't get it.

  35. You must also investigate Trumps failures on COVID, if they do not they show their true colors

  36. Elise Stefanik is Trump 2.0

  37. 6:09 Total misuse and misunderstanding of the Elie Wiesel quote. The meaning is that indifference is worse than hate because it means potentially good people allow evil to persist by shirking their moral responsibility. Indifference to Trump means he is being allowed to go uncriticized.

  38. Donald Trump for Speaker.

  39. News flash! IT DOESN'T MATTER! THE REPUBLICANS ARE GOING TO SHAKE THINGS UP! AND AS AN INDEPENDENT VOTER I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE FIREWORKS!

  40. Investigating Covid has nothing to do with Biden, Trump was in office when Covid hit, not Biden.

  41. ‘McCarthy Does Not Now Have The Votes To Be Elected Speaker' Is bad grammar. It should be ‘McCarthy Doesn't Have The Votes To Be Elected Speaker'

  42. Chuck Todd is completely unwatchable. Holy sh*t bro, shut your buffoon Mmm's and uhhh's.
