Buchanan, with sixteen years in the House of Representatives and one of the wealthiest members of congress, seems like a particularly bad choice to make an enemy.

“You f**ked me. I know it was you, you whipped against me,” Buchanan reportedly told the California Republican.

Sources close to Buchanan would not confirm the phrasing but acknowledged words were shared between the men.

“Vern simply expressed his disappointment to Speaker McCarthy,” said Max Goodman, Buchanan’s political adviser.

The Puck report suggested the interaction between Buchanan and McCarthy became so heated security had to step in between the men, something McCarthy’s office denied.



*********

It seems to me that his fellow House Republicans have zero respect for Speaker McCarthy. I remember somebody
shouted "get on your knees" @ Kevin when he was going to speak (beg) Matt Gaetz about getting his support.

and there is nothing sane people can do about it, except hope there are a few investigations that will pick off their majority.

Members of his own party should get used to being reamed, he's willing to fuck them all over to keep power.

We all warned them. They're all fools, so they didn't listen. They never do.

My suggestion is that if you absolutely must watch the "news," you lay in a very large supply of popcorn, you'll need it. A large bottle of Valium would also be a good idea. It would be a better idea to feed it to Republicans, but they don't listen about that, either.

McCarthy is pissing off the regular/sane members of the GOP



https://crooksandliars.com/2023/01/you-fked-me-florida-rep-screams-kevin?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter

Rep. Vern Buchanan was reportedly not happy with McCarthy's decision to deny him the chairmanship of the powerful House Ways and Means Committee. I'm inclined to give this story a lot of credence, as the gavel instead went to U.S. Rep. Jason Smith, a Missouri Republican fifth in line in terms of seniority. That suggests some backroom deal was made, probably to help McCarthy in his quest for Speaker. If McCarthy screws over enough Republicans he won't be Speaker for long.

Buchanan, with sixteen years in the House of Representatives and one of the wealthiest members of congress, seems like a particularly bad choice to make an enemy.

A new report in Puck documents an angry exchange between the Longboat Key Republican after the GOP Steering Committee denied him the chairmanship of the House Ways and Means Committee. The gavel instead went to U.S. Rep. Jason Smith, a Missouri Republican fifth in line in terms of seniority.

“You f**ked me. I know it was you, you whipped against me,” Buchanan reportedly told the California Republican.

Sources close to Buchanan would not confirm the phrasing but acknowledged words were shared between the men.

They knew he was giving away their committee assignments and leadership roles to nihilists who want to destroy government. They have only themselves to blame because they still voted for him instead of putting forth a more viable candidate for speaker.
