Te House is in chaos now, but it’s a good kind of chaos. We want to send a message to the establishment, that we the people and our America First movement, are holding enough cards to screw up their “unitparty” plans. And I believe right now, McCarthy just lost the 9th attempt at the speakership. So, things are not l0ing for him. But, we hear that the “Art of The Deal” is negotiating with everyone to try and make this deal work. That’s right, President Trump has stepped in, and he’s trying to get McCarthy to make some big concessions for the Freedom Caucus, so we’ll see how that goes.
In the meantime, we all that Jim Jordan was a huge “NO” for speaker, but now, we’re learning that’s actually not the case.
According to National File, a high-ranking staffer on Capitol Hill tells National File that Freedom Caucus Rep. Jim Jordan rejected a request from Kevin McCarthy and members of the GOP establishment to swear off the speakership for himself when he nominated McCarthy on the House floor on Tuesday, but Jordan refused, indicating his receptiveness to the speakership.
National File can exclusively report, per a high-ranking, well-sourced Hill staffer, that Rep. Jim Jordan rejected a request from Kevin McCarthy and his closest supporters to publicly swear off the speakership when he stood to nominate McCarthy for the role.
Despite Jordan’s public media comments, indicating that he isn’t running for Speaker of the House and is backing Kevin McCarthy, the Freedom Caucus leadership member received 19 votes of his own after standing to nominate McCarthy.
This news blows the lid off of the corporate media narrative surrounding the speakership vote, in which hardline establishment supporters, like Fox’s Sean Hannity, have toed the line for McCarthy, and have insisted that Rep. Jordan isn’t interested in being elected speaker.
Now, this would be a big game changer, if you ask me. I am one of the people very worried that we’ll end up with another “McCarthy” type in that seat, since we don’t have big numbers behind us to get “our guys” in. But Jordan, is popular enough that even the more moderates would likely vote for him.
What we don’t want to happen, is end up with Dems and GOP establishment picking the most “pablum/safe” establishment loser ever, who will absolutely get nothing done and we won’t be able to “negotiate deals” with. That’s probably worse than McCarthy, to be honest.
