GOP Rep Sends Scathing Letter To “Chaos” Contingent

“Dear Wayward Colleague, Your letter of October 20, in which you graciously offer to martyr yourselves as long as you can get your way, is perhaps the most selfless act in American history. We truly don’t deserve you. Your sacrifice is not in vain. You have succeeded in replacing the outdated concept of majority rule with an exciting new standard that a Speaker must be elected by 98.2 percent of the Republican conference. Someday, a messiah will be born unto us who can achieve this miraculous threshold, and on that day your judgment will be vindicated and you will be hailed as the geniuses that you are.” – GOP Rep. Tom McClintock, in a letter sent to the “Chaos Eight” who voted to oust Kevin McCarthy as speaker.
