BREAKING: Juicy details of the Republican Party's chaotic infighting leak to the media and they include MAGA Congressman Matt Gaetz getting furiously cursed out by members of his own party.
This is just too funny...
According to CNN's Brianna Keilar and Manu Raju, the backroom discussions between Republicans went nuclear after Representative Jim Jordan paused his bid for the Speakership earlier today.
"Back here in Washington on Capitol Hill, there is even more chaos over the speaker of the House race, Congressman Jim Jordan, who has failed to win the speakership after two rounds of voting, is putting a pause on a third vote and, according to sources, may back expanding the powers of the interim speaker, the Speaker Pro Tem Patrick McHenry, as a temporary fix until Jordan can try again," Keilar said to Raju.
“It’s a plan that seems to be dividing the GOP conference just as much as Jordan’s candidacy," she went on. "And tensions are soaring in a GOP conference meeting underway right now with a lot of swearing and shouting. So let’s get more now on this latest twist from CNN chief congressional correspondent Manu Raju. This meeting, Manu, really sounds like it got out of hand. Where are things standing?"
"Yeah, it’s been going on for more than 3 hours," said Raju. "It has devolved into a back-and-forth, tense words being exchanged, swear words being exchanged, including at one point the former Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy telling Matt Gaetz, who led the effort to oust him, to sit down."
Gaetz refused at which point "some other members cursed at him."
"One member, Mike Bost, went after him as well, cussing at him several times, we’re told," said Raju. "Also a number of members called on Jim Jordan, the speaker nominee for the Republican Party, to drop out. That is something that Jordan is refusing to do.
"Basically, where this stands right now is that Jordan has said that he would support making Patrick McHenry, the interim speaker, giving him more legislative power to move through the legislative process, take up bills that have been essentially paralyzed amid this fighting within the House," Raju added. "But he says he will not drop out of the race to be speaker."
This entire affair is a complete disaster for Republicans. It should now be clear to every American that Republicans are completely incapable of governing. Their party is composed of hacks, lunatics, and fascists.
The reason for this debacle is quite simple. Republicans can't come together because they believe in nothing. Every single one of them is out for themselves and has zero interest in doing what's best for the American people.
A vote for a Republican is a vote for utter chaos.

BREAKING: Democratic Congressman Tes Lieu gives the perfect response to the letter that Trumper Congressman Jim Jordan’s sent to Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis today in an attempt to obstruct and sabotage her criminal case against Donald Trump.
Congressman Lieu immediately responded, urging District Attorney Willis to “ignore” Jordan’s “stupid investigation” just as “Jordan ignored a confessional subpoena.”
Well played, Congressman Lieu.
Jim Jordan is committing obstruction of justice, a crime, by attempting to derail a state investigation into Trump when he knows full-well that he has no jurisdiction nor authority to meddle in a criminal case brought forth by the state of Georgia against Trump.
Even worse, Jordan actually has the audacity to demand that District Attorney Willis bend over backwards to give him a reason to interfere in her case — even when Jordan repeatedly ignored a congressional subpoena to testify about Trump’s crimes. It really is the pinnacle of hypocrisy.
