Let’s be clear here! Democrats did not put forward the motion to vacate!

[skyrocketcoast]

The Democrats are to blame??
That GOP guy is off his rocker.

[Mike-tnii]

They expect more out of Dems than their own GOP

[kenniandad]

Got to love when Tapper struggles not to laugh out loud when he’s told of all McCarthy’s successes as speaker.

Matt Gaetz takes full credit for ousting McCarthy but Republicans still find a way to blame Democrats 😂

[camelsheit_on_the_walls]

To call the GQP childish is a massive insult to children!

Moreover, children don't tend to be domestic terrorists.

[BorisTheSpyder]

The GOP continues to act like spoiled children, its sickening!

[lookingatsunsets]

The first question to any Republican member of Congress should always be:- "Did Trump lose the election?" How they answer would tell me most of what I need to know about them and what they have to say.

[kggav]

100% of the Republicans agreed to the rule that allowed one person to have the power to call for the removal of the speaker. That rule should have NEVER been adopted, but don't dare blame the other party when the rules you voted in place were used against you.

[IMGreg..]

Why are Democrats to blame?
When was it their responsibility to support the oppositions pick for speaker?
How many Republicans voted for Nancy?

[searsfarmcat]

At first I thought he was talking sense, but then he blamed Democrats for this and he lost me! You Republicans agreed to this nonsense when you bargained to elect McCarthy, now you're reaping what you sowed!! The GOP is in total chaos!!

[JustMe-nicp]

Why is it so hard for those people to step up and own their lies and BS!!!!

[mosestekper]

I lol when I hear the republicans say this. McCarthy won his seat without any Dem vote, he should maintain it the same way. If he failed to do so why are they blaming democrats.

[RealTalkWithGaryM]

Blaming democrats, like blaming them for the one person motion to vacate. These people are crazy

[lynettejenkins]

Jake good for you on pushing back on him. It’s too bad a lot of journalists let these people get away with lies all the time!!!

[juju-xxxn]

There's a November 17th deadline for the budget bill and Rep. Patrick McHenry sends everyone home for a week?? And Rep. Graves thinks they need more time to think about the next Speaker and for emotions to calm down? The clock is ticking dude! Republicans don't care about getting the people's business done, only their own drama is what matters apparently. WTF??

[BushidoXBrown]

Democrats aren't the one that brought forth the motion to remove Kevin Republican conservatives did that.

[kennethroots]

If House Republicans want to regain any sort of credibility, they need to get rid of Matt Gaetz, Marjorie Taylor-Greene, Lauren Boebert, Jim jordan, James Comer at the very least.

[terenceheesch]

...Jake Tapper fighting back what you know is the biggest laugh he's had in a long time near the end of the interview...giving me LIFE this morning...😁

[frimatt]

Its insane how much time the house just takes off. We're pissed We're taking the rest of the week off, must be nice. Then they want us to work 8 days a week.
