More chaos ahead?
Rep. Austin Scott , a member of the House Intelligence Committee, announced he will run against Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan for Speaker of the House.
I have filed to be Speaker of the House. We are in Washington to legislate, and I want to lead a House that functions in the best interest of the American people. The late-stage announcement from Scott — a seventh-term lawmaker who was on few people’s radar as a potential Speaker contender is an apparent protest against Jordan as House GOP lawmakers are set to hold a Speaker candidate forum Friday afternoon.During Thursday night’s closed-door conference meeting, Scott stood up and announced his opposition to Jordan, according to Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and another House Republican.
The nominee needs at least 217 Republican votes on the House floor. That is why the Republicans didn’t bring the vote to the floor since Scalise only mustered 113 within the caucus.I don’t know who he is. I don’t know what he has done or not done. But my suspicious nature and watching the GOPe for decades make me feel that he either is a GOPe“He sold FuelCell Energy, $FCEL, on 2021-01-14, after buying on 2020-10-30, for a 780%.Scott is a buffoon. He represents part of my home town of Macon .
I highly respect Jim Jordan. He is an asset to the Republican Party and our nominee for Speaker. Our conference has spoken, and now we must unite behind Jordan so we can get Congress back to work.
