  5. That 15 votes for this. What a total failure! Well, this is what you get when you decided to follow the con artist.

  6. What took the devil so long to get rid of this one. You know satan destroyed your name before he is done with you. The bibles says a good name is better than silver and gold and his name is tarnished with many others until the good Lord destroyed this world. His great, great, great grandchildren will read about a man that tried to destroyed this country for a few months of glory to have his picture on the wall as speaker of the house but have tarnished his family name forever.

  13. Given his unqualified support for Trump through most of his latter career. Who in industry would want to employ someone with such obviously bad judgement?

  14. Never give up we will take America back from the Dummocrats!

  15. THANK YOU FOR THE FIRST TIME πŸŽ‰

  16. Trump could have called of creepy gates but he didn’t because he didn’t endorse him yet, got him booted. What Kevin is doing is clever, leaving them in the wind

  17. Please give up Kevin..it's for the common good..

  18. Police have 'active shooter drills', why don't Capital Police have 'active dictator drills'? Or are you living thru one via today's, Military Industrial Complex, DOD and or US Pentagon control of US Government! Ya know, via Mitch McConnell, Paul Ryan & the corporations depopulating Americans.πŸ™„πŸ€”πŸ‘Š

  19. More indictments coming and McCarthy next and Mike Johnson

  20. He getting out dems will miss him

  21. Was that background music?!? 🀣🀣🀣

  22. He needs to leave immediately. Rot in jail treasonous traitor

  23. Now we need to make sure Imbecile Trump joins him!

  24. The speaker is causing all the trouble show him the door

  25. The craving for power has left you powerless. Next, craving wealth. He will learn this life lesson again. πŸ™πŸ¦‹
