HE TELLS US THE TRUTH MAY GOD AND JESUS CHRIST BLESS YOU ALL

I'm so glad he didn't win. He was supposed to be introducing the new speaker, McCarthy and grandstands for himself and his party. So divisive and annoying. Typical politician.

This guy is so far left he makes Nancy look like a Republican. It usually means he raised the most money.

This for this post. As I was listening I was picking up some familiar frequencies from Hakeem so I looked up the birthday energy he share the same frequency of President Barack Obama. Things that make you say Hmmm.

Show of hands, who really cares about the guys skin color and who actually cares about his political priorities?

[djb]

This guy has no integrity. There are videos all over the place of him completely contrary to what he said last. Zero integrity, zero congruence. So embarrassing, no respect.

[Michael_Maxfield]

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

[randallsmerna]

QUIT SAYING IT'S A DEMOCRACY!
IT'S A CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC!

Meet the new boss Same as the old boss

[debbie]

Is he going to legalize Asians being thrown into ongoing subways like in his district?

[patrickcoyne]

it’s like a badly written book or a poor movie. you can see what they are gonna do before they do it.

[strifewins]

He won because of his race not because he is the best person for the job.

[davelamson]

Oh look another one that checked the right boxes.

[Lexman]

I'm not sure how this will turn out to be bad for the country... but it will.

[hanielmaria]

It seems a trustworthy guy for me .What do you think guys ?

[kimhawkins]

Is it any kind of way you can nominate list Cheney for speaker of the house all the Democrats vote for you only would need for republicans?

[magnuscamper]

His skin color was his greatest attribute not his qualifications.

[dorothyreese]

What a winning prize for all of the people who believes in Democracy
