50. The Whole GOP Knew

Thu Dec 26, 2024, 08:20 AM

Dec 26

Where’s the house whip whose job it is to count the Republican votes on every issue?

So Steve Scalise didn’t know one of the Republican House members he whipped for a vote was in an “assisted living memory unit”?

Of course he knew, and his job as a Republican ass-kisser is to tell fellow ass-kisser Mike Johnson whether Rep. Kay Gramger plans to vote “yes” or “no” on the legislation up for a vote on the House floor.

Steve Scalise is the chief weasel for the GOP on this. Shame.
