As they have for the last year….
Republicans just keep doing things that FAIL …..
And they can’t blame anyone except THEMSELVES…..
Republican leaders on Tuesday barreled ahead with two votes they deem crucial to the party’s messaging efforts: impeaching Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and providing military aid to Israel.
The two items could have served as messaging to counter a Senate deal that paired border reforms with aid to Israel and Ukraine, which House GOP leadership helped kill after rejecting it as inadequate.
Instead, both of the measures failed.
And in the aftermath of the floor fiasco, stunned rank-and-file Republicans are sifting through the ashes in search of who should bear the blame, dinging Democrats who rejected the Israel bill and Republicans who resigned from the House for leaving them with a razor-thin margin.
Privately, however, some Republicans are directing their ire at Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), seeing the double defeat as a byproduct of his inexperience.
“Look, you give the guy some grace because, you know, he’s newer, he wasn’t in the room and kind of getting the training to lead up to this position as we had with other Speakers,” said a GOP lawmaker granted anonymity to speak candidly. “But that was a really massive failure.”…
…
Asked about criticism that he is inexperienced and remarks from Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.), who said the ouster of former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) had been an “unmitigated disaster,” Johnson suggested the conference was moving in the right direction…
…
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.), taking a victory lap Wednesday, said it is “not our responsibility to let House Republicans know which members will or will not be present on the House floor on any other day or in connection with any given vote.”….
You think Republicans care about any of this?
Haha!
They DONT!
Indeed the vast majority of Republicans are glad at what’s happening.
Why?
Because Trump tells them so!
That’s Nikki Haley’s problem.Shes denouncing “ chaos”to a party that thrives on it.
Update….
House GOP Impeachment Attempt Now Uncertain
The House Republicans second attempt to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas hinges on the potential absences in the chamber, CNN reports.
Due to snow storms, and the fact that it’s a fly-in day, members of both parties could miss the vote.
The vote is currently expected this evening, but if there are too many absences Republicans may have to go into recess and delay the vote — a risky move considering Democrats could flip a seat in the New York special election tonight.
