Republican lawmakers on Wednesday selected Majority Leader Steve Scalise as their nominee for speaker of the House, teeing up the election to fill the seat left vacant after the historic ouster of Rep. Kevin McCarthy last week. Scalise spoke to reporters following the nomination. CBS News congressional correspondent Scott MacFarlane provided more context following Scalise’s remarks.

“I’m David Duke without the baggage.”
We Americans no longer have a democracy. Corporations have taken over our lives. I don’t believe that spending 10 minutes in a voting booth once every four years will stop the corruption in Washington. Biden’s first gift to the Ukraine would have given every homeless person in the United States a check for $2000.
We are on deep trouble
What happened…I thought we were getting Jim Jordan! This is a disaster
You voted for it….hello! 🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️
He was in favor of open border
RINO on steroids
Omg!
What? He's the perfect racist to lead the terrorist party formally know as the republican party.
Wrong, as usual
It’s because Biden is so despicable he should be IMMEDIATELY removed!!
We need to secure US borders, not just our southern border… also, states need to reject illegals being flown in and bussed in to their cities without being vetted at all.
This current Republican party is hurting American people.
Our great country deserves better.
LGBT rights
According to the Washington Blade, Scalise has one of "the most anti-LGBT reputations of any lawmaker". He opposed the repeal of the US military's Don't Ask Don't Tell policy, stating "military leaders we've spoken with feel strongly that this policy should not be repealed"[80] and including sexuality under hate crime legislation, voting against the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act.[81] He also opposes same-sex marriage, having praised the 2014 Robicheaux v. Caldwell ruling. Scalise condemned the Supreme Court decision Obergefell v. Hodges, which held that same-sex marriage bans violate the constitution.[82] Scalise's voting record has a zero rating from the LGBT advocacy group Human Rights Campaign.[83]
Close OUR Border !!!
Congratulations. You are the next incompetent GOP speaker who has sold his soul to the fascists.
