Matt Gaetz Mulls Jim Jordan as New GOP Leader Following McCarthy Audio Leak

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Representative Matt Gaetz appeared to mull Representative Jim Jordan as a possible replacement for House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy following the release of audio where McCarthy said he was considering advising then-President Donald Trump to resign.

Gaetz, a Republican who represents Florida's 1st district, was replying to a Twitter user who had urged him and Jordan to take over the House GOP leadership from McCarthy.

The original tweet referred to McCarthy as a "RINO" (Republican in Name Only) but Gaetz' response focused on praise for Jordan, who represents Ohio's 4th congressional district.

"@jim_Jordan is the hardest working and most talented member of the Republican House Conference," Gaetz wrote. "And every member knows it."

Pervs of a feather.

1. There's no-talent bums constantly throwing the word talent around

I hope they fight with each other. McCarthy, Jordan and Gaetz put together don’t really have the brains for the job.

[riversedge]

2. I think it is a fact that Jim Jordan has not put out a single Bill of his own in Congress.

[PatSeg]

14. He specializes in putting on a show

for the cameras during congressional hearings. Professional attention-seeking jerk.

3. Groomers, Unite!

[PatSeg]

15. No Democrat would ever survive

the scandals that republicans do. Everything just seems to slide off of them.

[empedocles]

4. All so pathetic 'cons

[mopinko]

5. they've sure perfected this race to the bottom thing.

6. I remember when

Idiocracy was just a really good, bad movie. Good times. Good times.

7. Slimeballs in Charge!

Welcome to the GQP!

8. "...the hardest working and most talented member..."

Really? Of course, it's not as if the bar has been set all that high to begin with.

[multigraincracker]

9. JacketOff Jordan is a Jerk....

Make a nice bumper sticker.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

10. He may be right but '...hardest working and most talented' House Republican is a rather low bar.

[packman]

11. Matt goes to the mat for Jacket-off Gym Jordan

Sure, why not? Matt is such a good judge of character.

[Hortensis]

12. Lol, rabid pervs. Gaetz is a little creep with no friends, but Gym Jordan

is a cofounder of the extremist Freedom Caucus Gaetz also belongs to and in line to chair the house Judiciary committee (subpoena power!) if they get a house majority next November.

From what I've read, a majority of house conservatives (McCarthy's fellow "RINOs" ) would block Jordan, but the mad dog Freedom Caucus is once again pushing hard to gain power in the house. I think there are about 30 of them. The likes of Greene and Boebert rushed to join.

13. Matt & Gym are both going down because of Jan 6th.

Hopefully even some prison time.

[brooklynite]

16. But Gaetz said he was going to nominate Trump as Speaker?

[Kid Berwyn]

17. Groomers & Oligarchs 4 Putin

Parfait.

[Midnight Writer]

18. I reckon Gaetz knows that Jordan won't bring up his pedophilia problem.

[Baked Potato]

19. They must not win. Nt

[Hotler]

20. I thought Gaetz was going to jail. nt

[dixiechiken1]

21. Right?!?!? If there were any justice in the world, the only thing Gaetz would be mulling...

Is whether or not to have that second glass of toilet wine.

[tanyev]

22. I've seen speculation that Elise Stefanik leaked the recording.

If so, I doubt it she did it for Jordan’s benefit. This could get interesting.

[riversedge]

23. Elise stefanik wants to be Speaker. If she did leak it--she did it for herself

[smirkymonkey]

24. Really Matt? Just tell us what exactly Gym has done for his constituents or anyone else during his

pointless 15 years in Congress besides attack Democrats? He is just as worthless as you are. You are both such a waste of space.
