💣 The Disastrous 118th Congress - MAGA Mike Johnson Saved by Shadow Speaker Hakeem Jeffries

[Danraft]

Right b4 the vote, Gaetz said there was nothing left to ask for.

[Danraft]

Suck a shame Boebert didn’t lose. Would have been so much better.

Shelby Talcott @ShelbyTalcott 18s

Looks like it's NOT ENOUGH!

GAETZ votes PRESENT

Looks like it's NOT ENOUGH!

lol McCarthy now begging Gaetz and Boebert to switch their votes.

[bob]

Drama on the floor!

Some of the votes changed, and now it is 216-212-4,* with Boebert and Gaetz holding out.

If they don't vote, McCarthy will have only 50%.


* Biggs and Good (presently) for Jordan; Crane and Rosendale (presently) for Biggs.

[Danraft]

Gaetz votes present. They don’t have the votes. An absence throws it!

[AndyinPA]

Holy Hell!

I guess Gaetz did decide to humiliate McCarthy one more time.

[Dr. Ken]

Rep Rodgers looks like he was about to punch gaetz and had to be dragged off the floor

[Luke]

The video is spellbinding. McCarthy himself went over to Matt and looked like he Kevin was freaking out. Somebody looked like he was about to hit Matt and somebody else pulled the guy back. OMG. Mike Rogers of Alabama lunged at Matt. Richard Hudson pulled Mike back.

#BISCUITFORSPEAKER!

[AndyinPA]

Well, Gaetz gets to get his name go down in history--for something other than liking young girls.

[raison de arizona]

Chaos on the floor! Someone yelled, “On your knees!” when McCarthy approached Gaetz!

[Volkonski]

CSPAN showing-

McCarthy 216

Jeffries 212

Others 4

Present 2

[Danraft]

McCarthy (again) can’t count.
Humiliation
He should revoke all the concessions and play hardball now!

[Volkonski]

Clerk just announced that McCarthy is not elected.

[New Turtle]

Looks like it's about even on whether to adjourn till noon Monday. They will need a roll call vote

[Gregg]

Fourteen times is enough!

It's time for the first Dachshund Speaker of the House.

Biscuit, because if they're gonna fight like dogs, we need a dog in the fight!

#BiscuitForSpeaker

[Volkonski]

Now voting on adjournment.

[bob]

Gosar switching his present vote sunk McCarthy.

Republicans moved to adjourn to Monday; the voice-vote failed, so now they are voting. It is on party lines so far (Democrats voting no).

[Suranis]

Good grief. I should watch this crap live.

[AndyinPA]

Bedtime!

[Luke]

#BiscuitForSpeaker ... Because she can count!

Well, we're saying she can.

We aren't going to prove it because who you calling a liar?

[Danraft]

Yes. How bloody embarrassing. They didn’t know they lost the vote.
Ugghh

[Gregg]

The "Knutsax Four" have proved beyond doubt that being a Congressperson is not what they consider their day job. It's merely a plot device in their performance art reality TV show.
