‘Chaos Caucus’ ready to hold Congress hostage in push for Biden impeachment

Former Republican Congressmen Joe Walsh and Charlie Dent join Ali Velshi to discuss the far-right Trump allies in Congress, including Marjorie Taylor Greene, escalating their threats to shut down the government in order to launch a baseless impeachment inquiry into President Biden, and why the move is a “political ‘miscalculation” on many levels. “They’re overplaying their hand here,” Charlie Dent tells Velshi.

If you don't stand up to bullies, they take it as permission.

[MyShyCats]

The Chaos Caucus. They are utterly bananas!

[joerogain]

Question please? How does a fella like Kevin McCarthy defy all natural laws of physics & gravity and stand up without any noticeable backbone and spine?

[maria.and]

It appears more and more that American voters are tiring of the drama and want to see reality in governing.

[JaymeeKay]

This blows my mind. It's complete insanity. Vote all these money wasters out.

[Thunderwalker]

We need more statesmen (and women) rather than politicians. People who are more concerned about good governance than their partisan talking points.

[suezbell]

Making accusations without proof eventually proves ineffective long term -- short term, however, it puffs up a lot of egoes.

[allenlinscombe]

These people are a complete waste of resources and time as government employees.

[dorrengilbert]

If they refuse to do their job, THEY NEED TO GO.

These people live up to their brand name . Gaslight Obstruct Project
Vote them out. 💙

[gerrylewis]

Those elected into Congress should spend more time in representing their Districts and voters, rather than trying to push a shutdown.

[kaijusoursdanger]

I hope they dont overrun the U.S. Capitol again
it cost us millions to clean up their
last 💩fit.

[johnmckinnon]

Buck just pointed out the difference between Republicans and Democrats. Dems will compromise and get things done. Even if it makes the Repubs look good. Repubs would never vote for anything that would make Dems look good. Repubs are power over country.

[deborahlynnulloa]

Kevin McCarthy is an embarrassment in Congress and needs to be removed

[alexsandra]

Will some one please cover what, if any, bill writing and law making is going on outside of this nonsense? As an independent, I’m going to vote all democratic so congress can accomplish something!

[Azerinth]

The US doesn't negotiate with terrorists, but McCarthy does.

[rondavis]

Im near 70. Have had freedom all my life. If these clowns, whether it be DeSantis or Trump to get in a position of President. It would end your freedom younger person. Affecting you the most. Not me!

[KristinBagani]

This is what happens when Kevin McCarthy puts his job as a higher priority over the country. As a result, he’s let the crazies in his party take hold of him by the balls to the point where he can’t even turn left without being in pain of losing his position.

[franmanning]

Until they hold Trump accountable expect constant chaos
