republicans are followers not leaders!
Why isn't this guy running to be speaker, he would get my vote.
She said “gettable”. What a horrific display of the English language. The proper word would be “obtainable”. These people are suppose to be educated.. wow!
A Democrat that claims to be a Republican. Another person destroying our country.
He’s obviously part of the DC machine. It will eventually eat him whole
Only you? congress playing games with people's lives the poor looting from the middle class soon the middle class will find a way to steal from you there is a lot of hate in Congress
What a bunch of THUGS the GOP are. Vote them ALL out!!!
Good for Ken Buck to have the courage to do the right thing, maybe? Now go make a bigger statement and make a deal with the Dems and give Jeffries the majority speaker vote!
When did republicans adopt Putin's tactic of threatening people, stay away from high rise buildings rep. Buck. VOTE BLUE 💙💙
Only four. I see Buck has been kicked out of his PA County office by his Repug masters, too. Gym Jordan needs a bit more time to marshal enough thugs to threaten and even inflict harm on families as well as Congressmen. THEN Gym's agenda is available.
Life as a member of a mob, mobster boss never gets challenged, he has operators that keep him in power.
Pretty pathetic that cohorts of jim jordan have to threaten fellow gop lives to get him the Speakership. Sounds like trumps playbook.
Sorry, this is nothing new for the Republican party, they just normally aren't the ones being targeted by the lunatic base.
With Jordan making threats to the Republicans who won't vote for him. Gives them reason to vote Jeffries! That would be like a smack in the face to the MAGA TRASH. VOTE JEFFRIES for sanity in Americas House!! And as for Jordan, the only thing he deserves is a PRISON CELL!!!
Weak and currupt republican tath not can stand against maby 10-20 maga mega incopetent " politiker"
I'm surprised it's only four. Swamp creatures will only vote for swamp creatures, putting themselves before their country.
Wy is not..jim jordan NOT accused yet for involment in 6 jan? Can he be later on after evidence comes in the light be for judge and get jail??? Or can he and freinds stop a invigation on him ??? Beacuse republican are afraid for bad news reflect on them??
I have no sympathy for these clowns they enabled it if they fear so much for their lives why do they keep allowing their party to run a muck?
God, she seemed so obsequious to me! Is that because it's hard to get Republicans on the show because they don't want to be asked pointed conversations about real issues? But also I got to call her out because when he actually mentioned a possible speaker of the house he would promote, instead of her following up on that she just continued on with her list of questions exclamation point that's just like reading from the prompter instead of being a good journalist sorry for the talk to text issues I'm having a difficult time with this speaking and just don't have energy to go back and correct. Gosh now I'm like I shouldn't even express myself if I can't do it better than this. Oh well let's see what happens, let the snark begin
You know Ken Buck, you (and most of the other Republicans still in Congress) are part of the problem. You could have called this stuff out years ago and you didn't. You just clung to coat tails and pretended not to notice. Now you are on the receiving end of what many other people in America (women, minority groups, etc…) have been dealing with for years now.
You and your party dug your own hole Ken, and the buck finally stopped with you guys at last.
Why don't these losers talk about their pos tratior biden ..they get fired .
Besides the fact that threats are plain sick and those people need to be arrested, imagine making such threats over the speaker in a political chamber…not a cult at all….😯😯😯
I wonder if there is a good percentage of those 20,000 messages that are wanting him to vote against Jordan and come up with a reasonable Speaker who voted for impeachment of trump I think there are 6 of them, whether in office or not.
Maga extremists and death threats seem to be the loudest American politics currently.
How could Americans on whom death threats will not work could think they might work on their politicians who have clawed and lied, cheated and sweated their ways into public relevance?
