Republican Rep. Mark Alford shared his concerns for his party as they are now in what he describes as an “unfathomable” position to figure out who will replace former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy.

#Republicans #KevinMcCarthy #House

The obvious answer for responsible governance with such a tiny majority is bipartisanship. But Republicans would rather cede power to the extremists and implode their own party rather than reaching across the aisle for bipartisan solutions.
The democrats wanted Kevin McCarthy out For a reason, hes doing a good job.
The REPUBLICANS Never will win back the majority. Independents and now Republicans realize this. Democrats are following a plan. Republicans are spinning down & crashing
Unfathomable? Dude, you belong to a CULT led by a slob charged with 91 felonies. Anything is fathomable.
See what happens when you vote for republicans party
This what you got.
Republicans party very much corrupted, hypocrisy, lies and work for power and party first instead for country first.
The treasonous evil eight will reap what they have sown.
Both parties are corrupt
Well you should have gotten rid of Trump in the first impeachement and this wouldnt have happened.
GOP allowed Trump to take over and even when he lost the election GOP are still allowing a private citizen to have full control and have his demands met.
Trump demanded Gaetz do this to McCarthy because Trumps demand to shut down government failed.
When is GOP going to learn that this chaos is all caused my Trump to benefit him.
GOP right now should refuse to nominate Trump and disqualify him…its the only option going forward if you want to save the party.
Expel him ๐ฎ
Republicans are unfit to lead. It's unfortunate, but absolutely true. Hopefully a party emerges from this mess that's more in line with the larger portion of the populace.
2 face slime ball got what he deserved, the irony is real.
You are all have been brought to transparency to the American citizens. I would hope with this action to get rid of mccarthy, it brings us to accountability for those who have wllfully screwd us over.
Who want to lead that mob?!๐๐๐
They tolerated and encouraged the fringeโฆguess what America this country couldnโt function without immigrants. The GOP created all this.
#ChaosGOPfools
Xenophobe!

The MAGA snakes eating each other.
They just fkn lie and lie and lie and lie. Jfc.
The Republican Party is literally the brown stain in Americas underwear.
Kevin didn't use his tongue properly when he was licking con artist trumph ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ balls.
I don't know what they're whining about. Now they all voted for it.??? Just asking
*in a party thatโs dividedโฆ.
Republicans in congress can not make a move independent of Trump. The republican party handed what leadership ability they had away.
Democrats have been laughing at the Republicans for decades because of their weakness and vulnerability
As a Missouri Moderate Dem I really hate a unhealthy Republican party, given we are so split, the little legislation that was getting done will likely ground to a halt. We are way behind on dealing with so many issues that need the concensus of two parties in our two party system. So many issues let alone laws need to be passed ammended and revised, and the republicans are showing they cannot even govern themselves.
This is embarrassing
Hes saying McCarthy was the only person who could get those bills done…but he didn't get any of them done!
They need to find compromise with the Democrats. They are pushing policies as if they have large majorities in both houses. If they want to be a serious party of government they need to look for things theres actually a majority for
McCarthy is a trash person and deserved this, don't get me wrong. But, does it really only take one turd sandwich to bring a vote to vacate the Speaker?
Ha ha ha lier you seem to be as clueless as everyone else.

Economic collapse is where this is going. Prepare for hyperinflation and depression. Goodbye America c
I got news for you, it's been the case since 2016, when you let that incompetent orange con man take control of your party and Faux News in charge of driving the agenda ๐คท๐พโโ๏ธ๐คก
If republican's are serious why don't they repeal the trump tax cut?
The GOP is irrelevant
What we saw yesterday was chickens coming home to roost.
Grievance politics being used against grievance politicians. Oh how the turns have tabled.
If republicans were serious on the southern border, then they would call for criminal charges of Americans who hire migrants. Even trump had non documented workers on his golf courses.
Republicans have lost their way they should be ashamed of themselves. All of them are garbage! They have presented nothing to the American people and are following a demagogue.
We told ya guys in the beginning, Trump was going to steer the Republican Party down the tubes
The GOP has dug itself into such a deep hole over the last 7-8 years and they just keep digging. My former party is unsavable at this point, and it will take at least a generation to overcome. Quite possibly two generations.
don't worry; the billionaire owners of the Republican Party will sigh, ask their people to call up the little congressmen and tell them to shape up and earn their bribes
He doesn't seem so far right that he won't work with Democrats. On a different point, the High Schools in my city are named after ex-Presidents. I never knew T. Roosevelt's political affiliation.
Letโs face it Republicans donโt know how to get things done. The new house speaker should be a Democrat working with moderate Republicans to get things done. Itโs also possible to have a moderate Republican as speaker who will work with Democrats as well as moderate Republicans to get things done. The my way or the highway doesnโt work for MAGA Republicans.
This is why Republicans lose to guys with Alzheimer's. What a sack of losers. ๐
Did Mat Gates just make America Great Again?๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ
He gave up his career selling used cars? What a joke.
Maybe if these child and poor hating homophobes were a little nicer their chi would be better
