He's so smart. I love how he keeps repeating "Extreme Maga Republicans."

If something temporary or permanent were to happen to McCarthy and MTG, who would fill the position of House Speaker?

[teresasmith]

When either party tries to take down America 😢 Then the party in resistance will not be allowed to make any decisions concerning the lives of any and all Americans. Stop them and America expects this discipline. Full replacement of all that resist democracy🎉🎉🎉

[Starli]
