Top Democrat calls out GOP's 'chaos and dysfunction' in the House

Newly-elected Assistant House Democratic Leader, Rep. Joe Neguse responds to Marjorie Taylor Greene's motion to oust Mike Johnson as Speaker and the rush of Republican resignations. "I'm not surprised that House Republicans are jumping ship," Neguse tells MSNBC's Jonathan Capehart. "Chaos and dysfunction are essentially [their] central currency as a governing majority."

The is one of the major annoying thing about Congress-not bringing bills to the floor. At least for debate and voting. Our Founders meant the system to run based on checks and balances but keeping bills in the minority causes mass dysfunction.

Why should the Democrats save Johnson when they have enough votes to elect Jeffies to become speaker ?

Did your mother teach you not to lie and spread lies....

[lawandadix.]

How much money is going to Ukraine?? How much money is going to protect the American people?

[kendallpeters]

It’s like mick said “ Ya don’t always get what you want but when you try sometimes, well you just might find, ya get what you need “. So please republicans, let us at least do that. Vote responsibly. 👍🗳🇺🇸☘️

Everybody of these “ normal “ Republicans looks so sad and have so sad eyes.

[SavetheRepublic]

Straight up lieing. How about who created the problem in the first place. How about you all keep trying to sneak things into these so called "economic" bill. It's. It's so tired.

Voting blue 💙 until Republicans give me good reason not to

[daviddru]

So different representatives from different states have different conclusions? God forbid it work the way it's supposed to. The fact the dems coerce all their members to vote the same way on every single vote is actually a problem and very bad for the country. It shouldn't be team politics. There should be shut downs when we don't have the money. If I don't have the money I don't go out to dinner.

Red, the chaos party! Enough of this nonsense, can we get back to normal politics, instead of constant chaos? ✌️

[ChalkInTheLand]

I'm so tired of our government. Both sides need to start doing what's best for this country and stop with the pettiness

[ClarityDetermination]

This will hurt the borrower's rate.

[OldMtnGeezer]

Joe Neguse! What a refreshing antidote to the embarrassingly insane antics of Bobo. Good to see our beautiful state put someone in the House who exhibits good ol' common sense & dignity.

[EIonsMusk]

Every bit of the GOP sucks, but MTG is the times magazine’s worst person alive

[craigcomes]

Meanwhile, MTG keeps following Johnson around while waving a cat o nine tails saying " Crucify him." Details to follow

[Spurlano]

Where’s Rona? Might as well get Tucker Carlson. Can’t believe someone thought that was a good idea.

[sashasabbeth]

Dysfunction is not the correct word!!! Abuse and abusive are the correct terms.

[charlie-qhll]

Isn't democracy a form of government that if you're unhappy with your politicians/leaders they can be voted out of office and position?

[YuckFouTube]

😂😂😂 oh the 1.2 trillion bill that give 800k to a lgbtq old folks home, or what about the paying for Egyptian kids to go to college.... what about the dei zoo in San diego... such a great bill. Clearly taking care of America first, the border. Has Ukraine ever sent us help for our wars??

The majority is ONLY ONE SEAT. — LET’S SEE IF ANOTHER SANE REPUBLICAN - abandons the MAGA crazy.
