“Kevin McCarthy got the same number of votes that Pelosi got,” Jordan scoffed. “She had the same majority number, 222, that we have this time. So sometimes democracy is messy. But I would argue that’s exactly how the Founders intended it.”

And this toupee wearing Rep Mike Rogers M’erF’er got so steaming mad that Matt Gaetz wouldn’t vote for McCarthy, even tried to throw hands, but was calm, almost zen, when a-holes stormed our Capitol and even voted to overturn our elections.
