“History on Capitol Hill tonight, eight Republican lawmakers joining all 208 House Democrats to remove Kevin McCarthy as House speaker, the first time in our nation’s history and McCarthy will not seek the speakership again. Now, sources telling me at this hour some House Republicans have been in contact with and have started an effort to draft former president Donald Trump to be the next speaker and I have been told that President Trump might be open to helping the Republican Party at least in the short term, if necessary.” – Sean Hannity, last night.

Nothing, and I mean NOTHING would own us, the libs, more than electing Trump Speaker.

The only candidate for Speaker I am currently supporting is President Donald J. Trump.
He will end the war in Ukraine.
He will secure the border.
He will end the politically weaponized government.
He will make America energy independent again.
He will pass my bill to stop…

If this is not a cult, I don’t know what is.

BIG DEAL – Trump CAN’T be Speaker — because of his indictments.
House Republicans’ own rules require a leader to step aside if indicted for a felony of 2+ years of prison. pic.twitter.com/AqtnGDqewp

Under @SpeakerMcCarthy‘s leadership, the House has been in constant crisis.
He voted to overturn the election, reneged on the budget deal, and betrays his word daily.
The American people deserve a speaker who fights for them, not for Donald Trump.

Kevin McCarthy will NOT be running again as Speaker.
I nominate Donald J. Trump for Speaker of the House.
