Ten Days Without A Speaker — And GOP Performances Of A Lifetime!

WASHINGTON ― Ten days after ejecting Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) from his leadership post, Republicans are no closer to replacing him and the House of Representatives remains at an unprecedented standstill.The only things the GOP has to show for after a week of internal meetings ― meetings so private that lawmakers weren’t even trusted to bring their phones into the room ― are failed votes and chronic infighting. They left for the weekend having just chosen Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) as their next pick for a shot at the speakership, but he only got 152 votes for the role in a Friday meeting. He needs 217 votes to actually get the gavel. “We are a broken conference,” Rep. Troy Nehls (R-Texas) told reporters on Thursday evening, walking out of yet another meeting in the Capitol basement...

ABC News Host Deflates Nancy Mace’s Big Evidence-Free Biden Claim On Live TV

ABC News’ Jonathan Karl pushed back at Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) after she claimed without evidence that President Joe Biden was bribed.Mace, on Sunday’s edition of “This Week,” declared that the “facts are everywhere” after the host asked whether it was “premature” to go all the way with an impeachment inquiry, a move that House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) directed House committees to pursue last week. “I don’t believe so,” said Mace of the GOP-led effort.“There are text messages, there are emails, there are witnesses, there are whistleblowers, there are meetings, there are phone calls, there are dinners. And you can’t say, ‘Hey, there’s a little bit of smoke, we’re not going to follow the fire.’ ... We’re talking about a significant sum of money. We are talking about bribery.”Karl,...

Nancy Mace Slammed For Her Biden Impeachment Inquiry Logic

Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) was slammed online over her argument for an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden.Mace told CNN’s Kaitlan Collins she supports opening an inquiry because “it would give us another tool in the toolbox, specifically to look at Joe Biden’s bank records.”“Any piece of evidence, right or wrong, I want the American people to see all of it, whether it backs us up or not,” she said.“But isn’t it supposed to be the evidence that leads you to pursue impeachment? An impeachment inquiry?” Collins asked.“Well that’s what the inquiry is for, is to get more evidence,” Mace replied.The Republican-led House Oversight and Accountability Committee has been investigating Biden for months, looking to substantiate allegations he engaged in corruption and bribery linked to his so...

CNN Anchor Reminds Rep. Nancy Mace Of The NSFW Label She Used To Describe GOPers

CNN’s Kaitlan Collins on Friday questioned Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) over why she had called on fellow Republicans to “stop being assholes to women” while also backing a House amendment to block a Defense Department abortion policy.Earlier that day, the chamber passed the 2024 National Defense Authorization Act with an amendment that would reverse the Pentagon policy, which reimburses travel expenses for service members who are stationed in states banning abortion but want to receive the procedure. A compromise on the final legislation is expected after the Senate passes its own version of the bill.Mace, who voted in favor of the NDAA in the House, had sent a blunt message to her party over the amendment Thursday.“If we want to show America that we can come together and that we care about ...
