House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA) is attempting to undermine Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan’s (R-OH) bid for the Speakership gavel after voting for him on the first ballot, sources familiar with the matter have confirmed to Breitbart News.
CNN’s Annie Grayer noted on X that the majority leader would not commit to helping Jordan secure the 17 outstanding votes he needs for the top House job. This is despite Jordan requesting his aid, as the House has not had a Speaker since now-former Speaker Kevin McCarthy was removed on October 3. Sources on Capitol Hill have confirmed Grayer’s reporting to Breitbart News.

So, now we find that Scalise is at least acting like a RINO. NOT a good look, Steve. Cut that crap out.

I wasn't wrong in what I have thought of him. Just another RINO.

Nobody would even know Scalise's name if he hadn't got in the way of a Bernie-Bro's bullet.

The one that in my opinion is the scum of the earth, is Gaetz.

What a POS Scalise is. Looks like we dodged a bull get when he couldn’t get enough votes for the speakership. The entire Congress seems like nothing more than petty, vengeful, back-biting, two-faced snakes. A pox on all of them.

I’m all for Jordan, but this headline is nonsense (or click-bait, whichever term you prefer). “Not helping” does not equal “undermining.” Had Scalise thought that Jordan was the right person to be Speaker, he wouldn’t have run against him in the first place. He’s entitled to his opinion, isn’t he? Or are we now taking our cues from the Democrats and vilifying anyone who doesn’t agree with us?

These members do realize that the New speaker
has the power to kick them out of their Fancy office and move them to the Basement! That is exactly how Nancy handled things! Time to play hardball Mr. Jordan! There should a price to pay for playing this game!

4, what's wrong with Gaetz? He engineered the downfall of a RINO.
What great things was McCarthy doing that we will miss?

9, and just what great thing has Gaetz done since being elected? And he got rid of McCarthy to give us this crap-show, wherein the whole party looks incompetent and disorganized. Sorry, that doesn't make Gaetz any kind of hero

Agree with #10. Back in the day, Gaetz was all for Paul Ryan. Talk about a Rino.

the underlying unspoken characteristic of this whole Speaker issue is: no one wants to admit that MAGA is the force upon which the repub party is functioning right now and that Donald John Trump is the pin in he axle wheel
have never seen such cowardice from any bunch of politicians in a very long time and it's getting very tiresome considering that our President could be re-re-elected in 2024 and have to face a majority demcommie House and possibly Senate,
talk about non-stop impeachments!!

mccarthy had the good grace to vote for jordan on the floor, even as disgusting peloser pushed in, to gloat in
public, over her betrayal of mcc on the speaker vote.

Undermining implies taking direct action to prevent something.
He is just saying, I am staying out of this fight.
Not the same thing,

Gaetz was right. We cannot go on doing the same thing expecting a different outcome. It was time to take a stand. It’s not the conservatives who in the wrong. It’s the Rino faction that wants to protect the status quo that has allowed democrats to practically destroy us. You are either on the side of right or you are aiding and abetting the status quo. The Rinos have done NOTHING to better the lives of Americans. It’s all about them; their perks, bennies and pensions. They are lazy self-focused elites who believe most Americans are beneath them. You will never have change until you are willing to choose a different direction. You cannot make this country great again with these entrenched Rinos. Keep fighting for Jordan. Americans are tired of the games these fools have been playing for decades.

I have no interest in having a Speaker who is being distracted by a serious medical problem.

I guess Jordan is going to have to go through about 15 more votes until the never-Trump RINO 20 decide to vote for him. Keep the pressure on.

Scalise confirms my longheld suspicions. He is just another GOPe RINO sucking at the government teat.
The fact that that Scalise was the #2 House Republican, behind McCarthy, confirms how swampy and corrupt yje Republican Party is, and that Gaetz was justified.
I am no great fan of Jordan, who has a history od talking a big show, but doing little, but McCarthy has been a liar, NeverTrumper, and backstabber
