Combative right-wing Republican Jim Jordan failed to win a first vote on Tuesday to serve as speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, but more votes were expected to follow that could wear down his opponents.
Fox News was actually threatening to sic the base on people who voted against Jordan, according to something I heard on the local community radio earlier. They sent stuff saying like, “Is it true that Representative X is against confirming Jordan? When are you going to let the peoples house open, the people want to know.” To someone at the house. There was another sentence basically threatening to turn their base loose on individual reps if they didn’t flip flop and support Jordan. I’ll have to see if I can dig up an article.
