After the GOBherds elect their person in as speaker, the should pull the same thing especially if it is some radical thug they vote in! Thus this rule hasnt been changed by them?
I think the likes Gaetz, Jordan or any of those other pandering Trumpers should never become speaker

No Such expectation for Jordan.
