The White House mocked “dysfunction-engulfed House Republicans' on Friday after the House voted to remove Rep. Kevin McCarthy from his speakership role.
The White House mocked 'dysfunction-engulfed House Republicans' Friday as they work to select a new speaker of the House, while praising President Biden for focusing on the economy and the American people. The House of Representatives, in a historic first on Tuesday, voted to remove Rep. Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., as speaker of the House, after Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., introduced a motion to vacate.
Now, the House Republican Conference is considering who should serve as the next House speaker, with Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, and House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La., the top options. Over at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, though, White House officials are mocking House Republicans for being unable to 'get their act together.
Bates added: 'When the government remained open, for the good of all Americans, they turned on each other and made the only chamber of Congress they control dysfunctional.' 'Now, nearly a week since they unseated the Speaker of the House, congressional Republicans still can’t get their act together,' he continued.
