McCarthy really wants the job back, and has been floating this nightmare scenario: “reinstall him as speaker and make conservative Trump ally, Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, the assistant speaker.” That’s been floating around on social media for a few hours, but is now confirmed by three sources to NBC. www.dailykos.com/… Sawyer Hackett @SawyerHackett The FIFTH republican Speaker nominee is Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA) His extremist rap sheet: - architect of House effort to overturn election - was on Trump legal defense in both impeachments - supports nat’l abortion ban - wants to ban same-sex marriage - thinks weed is a gateway drug xThere is for sure no one else, it was Jordan and Johnson who were the dangers. If "institutionalists" are OK with violating the Constitution, then, um, what institutions exactly are they for? pic.twitter.com/vVC9uPB7P0— capitolhunters (@capitolhunters) October 25, 2023

Oh my god. Republicans are now floating a plan to reinstate Kevin McCarthy as speaker and have Jim Jordan as assistant Speaker. They’re quite literally making up positions to try to solve the mess they created. The best solution is to vote for Hakeem Jeffries. This is crazy.— Harry Sisson (@harryjsisson) October 24, 2023

The coup-attempting former president is attacking the next speaker candidate who, coincidentally enough, did not support Trump's coup attempt.(Jordan helped Trump plot the coup; Scalise and McCarthy have both made excuses for it after the fact.) pic.twitter.com/X2JZzb0JJB— S.V.

Rep Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), nominating Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) for Speaker, calls him an “effective legislator.”Audible laughter can be heard from House Democrats. pic.twitter.com/ds4pFis8pK— The Recount (@therecount) October 20, 2023

Between Trump's comments last night (that they had plenty of votes but needed people watching the vote counters, and that he would betray NATO) and the clarity of the purge in the House, it seems increasingly likely Trump plans on winning in the House in Jan2025.— emptywheel (@emptywheel) October 24, 2023

Of course, Dems should vote for a GOPer who denied the 2020 election results & tried to overthrow the constitutional order, who supports a former POTUS who incited violence to retain power & who backs a baseless impeachment crusade against the leader of their party. Makes sense. https://t.co/qaVdNCUBWb— David Corn (@DavidCornDC) October 25, 2023
