    Newt Gingrich can suck a fat chode because he was one of the originators of the “I will have a tantrum until you give me what I want” tactics that the GOP has used for at least 30 years now

    Why do these societal vampires hang on so long?

    This chode was the guy who normalized shutting down the government. He is a Christian Nationalist who raged about how milquetoast Democrats were fascists.

    His cholesterol should do the world a favor.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    “Well right now, [the House] can’t govern, and I think that the eight people who betrayed the conference and joined the Democrats to defeat the 96 percent of the conference unleashed furies that I don’t think they’d even dreamed of, because it gave every person the right to be equally destructive and equally angry,” Gingrich, also a Fox News contributor, told “Fox News Sunday” anchor Shannon Bream.

    The former Republican Speaker noted there is a “very real danger” the House could elect someone and in a few weeks, “you’re going to have a group of people blow up and decide to go back into the same mess.”

    Republicans now are looking to ensure this can’t happen again, though a resolution of this nature would likely not be possible to vote on until the House elects a new Speaker and returns to its normal functions.

    In the days that followed, several Republicans looking to take the Speaker’s gavel were met with internal conflict within the GOP conference preventing some candidates from garnering the 217 votes necessary for the Speakership.

    initially clinched the GOP’s support and beat Jordan, but he dropped out a day later when it became apparent he would not reach the 217 votes.

    Jordan failed to reach 217 votes on three ballots last week, actually losing more GOP support with each round.
