According to reports, Republicans decried death threats sent by Jim Jordan supporters, Matt Gaetz almost physically fought a McCarthy supporter, and more.
It’s Day 16 without a House Speaker, and somehow, things have only managed to get weirder since Rep. Kevin McCarthy was ousted by his sworn nemesis Rep. Matt Gaetz . After Rep. Jim Jordan lost two consecutive Speaker votes this week, House Republicans on Thursday regrouped for an internal meeting that reportedly spanned almost four hours to figure out a path forward.
As one Twitter user joked, can you imagine if the Capitol allowed open carry?? House Republicans also raged about threats made to some of them for opposing Jordan. On Wednesday Rep. Don Bacon revealed his wife has received anonymous threats over his votes against Jordan in favor of McCarthy.
