Ex-GOP Congressman Warns Republicans Aiming to Be Speaker Are 'Dangerous'

David Jolly told Newsweek on Sunday that the House speaker candidates may not start off at such a dangerous spot as Jim Jordan, but may end up there.

Former Republican Representative David Jolly warned that the GOP members running for the House speakership position could be just as 'dangerous' as Representative Jim Jordan while speaking to Newsweek on Sunday.On October 3, Representative Kevin McCarthy, a California Republican, became the first House speaker in U.S. history to be ousted from the role by a floor vote, after a motion to vacate was brought against him by GOP Representative Matt Gaetz of Florida.

'McCarthy blessed the impeachment of Joe Biden, he covered for Trump on the January 6th stuff, he negotiated in bad faith with Biden and then broke his promise. So it's not as though other leading Republicans are significantly and qualitatively less dangerous than Jordan, but Jordan just starts from a very dangerous spot.
