What a sad statement of affairs.
To go from Speaker Nancy Pelosi, to this current clown show.
It was my privilege today to gavel out the end of the 117th Congress — an extraordinarily productive session #ForThePeople.
I look forward to continuing to serve the people of San Francisco in the 118th Congress and will share more on this account. pic.twitter.com/IExmFl2i0H

In her eight years as Speaker, Nancy Pelosi never lost an important vote.
Non-Speaker Kevin McCarthy has already lost three. pic.twitter.com/v6zh8C0W8r

Pelosi made this look easy.
It is not.
And a lot of people will never give her the credit she earned over not only her career, but especially these last several years.

The MSM is so mad about this….because they can’t cover up the pure incompetence of this situation. They have spent so much time putting their thumbs on the scales for the 2022 Election. They were desperate for a Red Wave…And, when it didn’t appear, they has a sad.

I sense a different mood from the Democrats. They don’t care about GOP feelings, and the thought that the Democrats would somehow ‘help’ McCarthy – once again, putting forth nonsense towards Democrats that they would never push towards Republicans.

Now @mitchellreports is asking Rep. Dingell if Dems will vote for McCarthy for "the sake of the institution"
Good grief! Every single time Democrats are asked to bail out the Republicans. Every. Single. Time.
What a load of Bullsh!!!!

No. Democrats will not help him. McCarthy will get to 218 all on his own.

What's amazing about this is tomorrow President Biden is going to be in Kentucky with Mitch McConnell, Andy Beshear, Mike DeWine, and Sherrod Brown, for a bipartisan celebration of getting shit done on infastructure, while the House will be stuck trying to tie its shoes. https://t.co/LHs1mGV2La

This is why Dems get treated like garbage by the press. Too many media personalities masquerading as journalists know that the FOX grifters own the GOP and they resent not having similar power over Democrats. pic.twitter.com/sygngnNEPf

Some suggested Democrats will skip votes to make things easier for Kevin McCarthy to win. He is not fit to be Speaker.
I'll be here voting on every ballot for as long as it takes, and I haven't heard any Dems talk about leaving. We are proud of our unity and determined to fight.

Let this sink in: Kevin McCarthy not only ended the day with three losses, but he ended up losing support. Not the position you want to be in if you’re looking to be the next Speaker. Very bad day for Republicans and Kevin McCarthy. A party in utter chaos and disarray.

Imagine how this US House of Representatives (under GOP leadership—Gaetz, Boebert, Gosar, Marjorie Three-Toes, Gym Jordan, etc) would respond to a real-world crisis. That’s some truly scary shit.

Let’s put this into perspective: the last time a vote for Speaker took this long sliced bread wasn’t sold in stores, and there were only 48 stars on our flag. So the reason why this feels like chaos is because it is; it’s unprecedented in our lifetimes.
