  1. The American people need TRUE/BETTER LEADERS, not FOLLOWERS of LIERS/LOSERS. DO NOT PUT THESE FOLLOWERS IN CHARGE OF ANYTHING. I COMMEND THOSE LEADERS THAT CARE/STAND UP/CHOOSE TO DO THE RIGHT THING FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

  2. Coward couldn't run a bathroom..

  3. "look…Kevin McCarthy has earned the right to be Speaker of the House" oh really? How exactly has a seditious spineless liar like McCarthy, who has absolutely no legislative wins in 10 years, earned the right to be Speaker? This reporter is throwing out red herrings and nonsense, which are merely his own egoic opinions and which do not reflect the truth.

  4. Blessings to the Democrat in the House who still got more votes than Kevin even though the Republicans "hold the majority." 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

  5. Yes indeed. Jeffries only needs support from 6 moderate Republicans.

  6. I don't understand why no one is runningg against him. He has NO integrityvat ALL! If you all vote him in, it'll be more years of the same type of discord that came with Donald.

  7. Every minute you waste, you could be moving forward with fondling hunter Bidens laptop😂

  8. Republicans look dumber by the second. If smart they wouldn't vote for Mccarthy as he was the one that opened the door for Trump when he could have closed it. He's weak, won't even stand to Santos

  9. Jeffries is a Socialist, like Sanders, Cortez, Harris and other's in the group.

  10. I wonder how long this can go on? Like a week or could theoretically have a US congress without a speaker for the next two years?

  11. Stop lying talking about high inflation Republikkkan don’t even have a plan

  12. The best part is that they can see the crash and burn insanity in their own party but are helpless to stop any of it

  13. Republican party does not serve America but their party and power.

    They are divided and corrupted which does not help lives of American people.

  14. don’t like the way McCarthy talks and his eyes, I think he is not the leader type

  15. You are nothing more than fake news Lonnie ray

  16. More Homelessness in Spokane City Washington State.

  17. He is a TRUMP Lover and is afraid of losing the Battle.. excepting.. understand your Job as Not hired by the President but by the PEOPLE of Both sides and Us Independents.

  18. Pelosi and the the dems need to pay for their corruption. McCarthy not the one to do that

  19. The dems need to pay for their corruption

  20. This man things the Republicans gained power to work. Bless his heart

  21. Congressman elect – dictatorship is when McCarthy wants to ride roughshod over everyone’s choice. Don’t matter that the minority in his caucus has put him in check. Add their numbers to 212 what do you get

  22. Oh it's democracy now it was not when Trump was the president Republicans wanted to do away with democracy and have dictatorship

  23. So long as the reckless spending benefits American people than, why not spend more for the benefit of the people?

  24. One party rule does not work says the GOP lol

  25. These Republicans giving you all these material for easy follow up and you're missing it Chuck Ty he just said this is not a dictatorship well the last 5 years that we just seen was acting like a dictatorship cuz whatever Donald Trump said all the rest of your m********* Republicans right behind it see now that's not happening with Kevin McCarthy cuz he thought it was and I was a problem but that's the monster y'all created we love watching y'all eat yourself alive Chuck Todd doing a little bit more better at your job we're follow-up questions and push back cuz I know if this was Democrats going through all this you have a whole lot to say pushing back on them like you get these m********** the benefit of the doubt why

  26. Yeah MTG saying anything is a joke. I do love seeing these idiots fight each other though, it just shows how they will work together. Its almost perfect seeing how this will go down. Its proving itself without trying

  27. Chuck Todd a little too little too late once he gave up all them concessions he don't have the power as this speaker you gave up too much ground how you in control of somebody I could just call to have you removed at any given time how much power is that

  28. “We do not live in a dictatorship, we live in a democracy and the majority rules for a reason.” The reason the Republicans are in this predicament is because they do not have real a majority. It’s a fractured party created by gerrymandering and manipulation of voting rights.

  29. McCarthy may get the votes eventually but he is cut off at the knees and Matt Gaetze, Lauren Boerbert, Andy Biggs, Andrew Clyde, Paul Gosar and some others. These are people who can't even tie their own shoes and they have Kevin in a box and that's where he will stay and he will ask them for permission at every turn. They will have the power to get him dumped at any point. He could be the shortest lived Speaker in history if he does NOT do their bidding. Thus the condition of the repuglicant party and in turn the condition of our country.

  30. LWler is not a repu lican he is just a democrat running as a republican

  31. The marxist dems and their neocon war mongering rino operatives make me sick https://youtu.be/ezSmVXMWv_Y

  32. Jeffries is a rino and democrat sympathizer

  33. Just find him 19 votes which is one more than he had.
