Texas Rep. Dan Crenshaw has had it over the 20 House Republicans blocking House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy's bid for the speakership. He would very much like them to shut the fuck up, please.
"I'm tired of your stupid platitudes that some consultant told you to say on the campaign trail, alright. Behind closed doors tell us what you actually want, or shut the f*** up," he said of the 20 MAGA holdouts, the Washington Post's Dylan Wells tweeted.
"They want to pull the pins on the grenades and lock the doors," he continued.
"I think the 20 holdouts are continuing to show themselves to be unbelievably unserious," he said. "Now they're just choosing random people. They don't have a plan. It's almost like they want to make the point that they don't have a plan."
"They have zero ability to articulate what they want that would cause them to vote yes," he continued. "It is utterly confusing, and then they get mad at us for criticizing, it's actually quite hilarious the self-victimization that occurs."
"I can hold out forever," he added. "McCarthy would have to resign from Congress, then I'll consider an alternative — but I'll tell you what, whoever that 20 wants, I will never vote for that person. I do not care who it is. They want to play this game; we'll play the game."
We've witnessed an absolute shitshow that has lasted over two days. The whole thing is weird since Trump endorsed McCarthy, and the red-hat Republicans won't support him. Maybe they enjoy the dysfunction and chaos.
