The call is coming from inside the House
This is the best underrated joke of the week
It’s laughable that he came out today condemning these threats after supporting an insurrection that got multiple people killed.
It’s absolutely insane that he is even allowed to still be in office let alone run for speaker of the house.
His condemnation is as vague as can be. It doesnt at all reference that its inner party threats, doesnt say anything about why they are happening or who they are happening to:
No American should accost another for their beliefs. We condemn all threats against our colleagues and it is imperative that we come together. Stop. It’s abhorrent.”
The man ginned up his violent supporters to specifically threaten his GOP coworkers to get in line or else, and he wont even tell them directly to stop.
Just a nothing statement that makes sure it doesnt say fucking anything while it gestures vaguely at the topic.
For the record, it’s perfectly justifiable to accost Nazis for their beliefs.

Gym Jordan is an insurrectionist and a traitor to the Republic. He should be treated as such.
also as an apologist for groomers. I mean, it’s almost like the republican mantra is “Protect the kids so we can rape them!”
Matt Gaetz is his biggest fan.
If 9 people are sitting at a table with 1 Nazi, how many Nazis are sitting at the table?
I mean, maybe you shouldn’t have let the rhetoric of your party devolve to this point? Maybe you all shouldn’t have normalized abuse and violence against elected officials?
Republicans really have no one to blame for this than themselves.
“When I voted for the Leopards Eating People’s Faces Party, I didn’t think they would eat MY face!”
We have the Herman Cain Award, now I think we should create the Mike Pence Award.
They courted the crazy vote, only now there are true believers actually elected, and turns out that just screaming into the void and blaming everyone else doesn’t actually make you a good politician
Find em, lock em up.
Every MAGA that can no longer vote is one more step away from #fascism.

Ever after, work is over.
Now THAT’s a dangerous precedent to set. We shouldn’t persecute people for voting for a terrible party. That’s literally fascism. Instead, persecute them for their criminal activity. That should be easy enough.
I think they’re referring to the death threat people.
Persecute or prosecute?
Sounds like these Republicans are learning what Trump did in 2021. Remember when he went to one of his rallies and told his crowd of dullards to get vaccinated and they booed him for it? And remember how immediately afterwards he and his campaign quietly stopped taking credit for the COVID vaccine? The MAGA crowd have no real loyalties. They will turn on you if you don’t fall in line.
They let the lunatics take hold of their party during MAGAism and now they face real consequences. No sympathy. We have to stamp out domestic terrorists and would-be terrorists. These shitheads need to be charged for threatening to kill people.
This was coming way before Trump entered the picture. Rush Limbaugh in the 90’s, Glenn Beck and Bill O’Reilly during the Bush years (and everything involving Dock Cheney), and the Tea Party movement all were pushing to get us here.
I’ve heard it argued this goes all the way back to a mistake at the end of the civil war when confederates weren’t deported. Not sure how true that is but it seems like there’s a plausible thread.

Andrew Johnson was soft on slavers and their sympathizers.
Is it okay to call them fascists now? Just wondering.
Always was.
It was wild to me that none of the conservatives I know connected the dots. If the person is railing against the anti fascists… what the fuck are they?
well obviously anti-fa are deep state operatives controlled by HH (Hillary and Hunter),so therefore they are the actual fascists and they also faked a trump rally on Jan 6 and tried to overturn the election in favor of trump.

Maybe not always (This “always” depends very much on your age). Basically, Republican move downhill from a normal party to a fascist MAGA-head group started with Nixon, and got accellerated with Reagan. But most people nowadays don’t even remember the times when the GOP had been a normal party capable of doing politics with Democrats and the people, and not just against them.
I’ll do you one better. Joe McCarthy was the one who started American conservatism down the road of extremism and paranoid conspiracy theories instead of policy.
You are not wrong here.
I’d love to think maybe being on the receiving end of the GQP/MAGA cult will wake them up but it’s hard to imagine them growing a spine even for this
That’s the Faustian bargain they made with Fox News: get a diehard base of crazies whipped into a frothy rage. The GOP is now held to the most radical purity standards partially because that outrage is exactly what draws in viewers.
Couldn’t have happened to a scummier bag of assholes.
Republicans are soft on terrorists.
Republicans are
soft onterrorists.Soft on white terrorists.
Republicans are soft white terrorists.
“Party that normalizes political violence shocked to be victim of political violence”
“the bed that I shat in has shit in it”
Scary times. A good portion of this nation is stuck in a cult.
What is it about Republicans that make them rally so fiercely around the shittiest candidates known to mankind? It’s one thing to give lukewarm support for a shitty candidate because the alternative is even worse, but they go frothing at the mouth crazy over the absolute worst representatives of humanity.
Propaganda is a hell of a drug :(
The House will hold another vote for Speaker at 10 a.m. ET tomorrow, Punchbowl News reports.
it will be the third time that Rep. Jim Jordan’s (R-OH) candidacy is considered.
The beatings will continue until morale improves.
GOP has very obviously fallen to fascists.
