The overwhelming media narrative these past three weeks has been that Republicans cannot govern because, after 18 rounds of voting in less than a year, they could not pick a speaker of the House.
Newly elected House Speaker Mike Johnson, of Louisiana, meets with Australia’s Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, Thursday, Oct. 26, 2023, on Capitol Hill in Washington. The overwhelming media narrative these past three weeks has been that Republicans cannot govern because, after 18 rounds of voting in less than a year, they could not pick a Speaker of the House — the chamber in which they hold majority control.“We are going to lose 25 seats over our inability to pick a speaker!” they squealed.
This media delusion is particularly absurd when you try to name the great accomplishments by the House of Representatives in recent years that they have had a speaker. One final important point. The media and Democrats are eager to blame this chaos in the House on Republicans. But never forget that only eight renegade Republicans voted to dump the last speaker and create this crisis. Every single Democrat in the chamber voted to decapitate the House.
