Plouffe: House GOP Leans Into Agenda That Voters ‘Screamed Loudly’ Against

David Plouffe: “Kevin McCarthy already on Day 1 has basically said, ‘The crazies—the Gosars, the MTGs, they are going to drive the bus here.’ It is so far away from what the American people just screamed very loudly last week they wanted the country and their leaders to focus on.”

“McCarthey is allowing Gosar and MTG to drive the bus”! Yep, right off a cliff!

[idt]

Imagine living in a country where you can openly take part in an attempted coup and not only keep your government, taxpayer funded job and pension, but you also get to take back control of the government you tried to overthrow! It's like banana republic type shyt!

[steviewonderland]

Even their supporters are finally saying, "WTF?" "These people really are crazy."

[oneeyedmonster]

The rethuglicans are about to destroy themselves in the next 2 years. Them taking the house was a blessing. The demographics are changing, the younger voters won't tolerate this divisiveness.

[dannmarceau]

We just told them that we didn't care for their modus operandi; we'll have to REALLY tell them in '24

[bonghunezhou]

Sadly, the party as a whole does not have the cojones to expel MTG and Gosar from the chamber - or even preclude them from the committees.

[bryanb]

Anyone with a pulse knew loud mouth would be front and center

[jerometaperman]

It's that thing where you keep doing the same thing over and over, expecting a different result.

[iraquinn]

They will never learn and they wonder why they didn't do good in the midterm

[johndowner]

For those Republican voters expecting positive action on inflation, crime, and the border: 😂😅🤣. Stay tuned for the Horror Show starting in January 😫

[jimmcloughlin]

Friendly old Brit: American politics of payback is so primitive to the point of childishness.

[janedoe]

Repubs just don't learn. The sooner that party ends the better. Then we can get some work done, problems addressed, people of the country cared for.

[joeyahoo]

They literally do not know what else to do.

[WTH]

House Republicans have begun in earnest their campaign to elect Democrats in 2024. We appreciate their tacit assistance.

[sarahhopkinsluvscats]

McCarthy is giving the party a golden shovel.

[ConstantGardener-qq]

The GQP will implode. Thanks Jim Jordin

[whirledpeas]

You know that government is working well when life seems effortless - the trains run on time, your mail is delivered to the right place, people are healthy and happy (because there is clean air, nutritious food, and neighborhoods have good schools, parks, libraries), children are able to grow and realize their potential, there is a thriving job market, and communities are strong.

Can we just do that, please?

[hendrycksputt]

Well, it's not out of character for Jim Jordan to ignore cries of distress.

[kellybrown]

Can I just ask?
What is the matter with the people in MTG's district???
Is there a radiation leach underground there?

[freetochoose]

Hold the GOP accountable for their crimes and don’t let them destroy America!
