House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, has lost a secret vote to remain his party’s nominee for House speaker, several Republican lawmakers told reporters.
Jordan lost the ballot by 86-112, Rep. Kat Cammack, R-Fla., said. She added that Republicans will leave town for the weekend, and members have until noon on Sunday to declare their candidacy. A candidate forum is expected Monday.
Guess it sucks to suck? Jim Jordan’s had his job for 16 years and never passed a bill - but hey, let’s put him in charge of making sure bills can get passed! Talk about welfare queens, this asshole loser has been taking the government’s money and purposefully not working the whole time! If only we could all be so lucky.
So he’s the most successful republican in congress. He’s got “government is ineffective” written all over him.
He’d be in position to have as many as four people working right underneath him.
It’s very telling (and unsurprising) that Jordan’s support didn’t collapse because of his crazy positions or utter lack of qualifications for the job. No, his support collapsed when his crazy supporters started threatening other Republicans.
Echoes of “the only moral abortion is my abortion.” The GOP is fine with craziness…as long as it’s only hurting other people.

wow, this is actually inspiring news about the principles of republicans. Unless it’s just because they don’t want to go through a McCarthy vote experience again.
More like they don’t want to embarrass themselves nationally once again.

Hah, the GOP would have to collectively resign and hide from the public for the rest of their lives in order to have even a snowball’s chance in hell of not embarrassing themselves again.
Too late for that. Also, they probably only rejected Gym because he was trying to bully his way into the position.
*he was trying to bully them into giving him the position.
If he’d been trying to bully democrats it would have been fine
(Nelson voice) “ha ha!”
“Guys, getting this whole speaker debacle figured out is SUPER important for us to get done… after we take a break for the weekend.”
Never threaten to endanger a Republican’s weekend off.
He’s now on double secret probation
Good, fuck Gym Jordan.
I hope Clooney releases his documentary soon to put a nail in his career coffin.
