RINOS WIN!
Rep. Jim Jordan withdrew from the Speaker’s race today after 22 RINOs derailed his vote for Speaker of the US House of Representatives.
Jordan was clearly the grassroots favorite but the GOPe successfully blocked his attempt to lead the Republican Party.
The Republican lawmakers who prevented this will certainly face primary challengers as they should.
The good old boys win again!
There will be no vote for Speaker again until January at least. Jim Jordan is bowing out for now.
Instead, he will back McCarthy ally Patrick McHenry as interim Speaker until January. That is three months from now.
This comes two days after former House Speakers John Boehner and Newt Gingrich backed McHenry for interim Speaker.
I agree. https://t.co/J76cvtKghE

This is a breaking news story and will be updated.
The Republicans could not allow their voters to have a voice in government!
This is the latest blow to Trump voters.
