Pelosi: GOP going 'against their constituents' by voting for Jordan

Pelosi says many Republicans going 'against their constituents' by voting for Jordan for House speaker
by Conrad Hoyt, Overnight News Editor
October 18, 2023 12:20 AM

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) had harsh words for Speaker-designate Jim Jordan (R-OH) and those who voted to give him the gavel, saying, "They're going to have to answer to their conscience, to their children, to their own legacy for doing something so disreputable."

Jordan failed to secure the requisite votes to become speaker on Tuesday because of 20 Republican holdouts, which, combined with all House Democrats in opposition, is far too many for the slim majority the House GOP possesses. Pelosi had no remorse for the House Judiciary Committee chairman.

"Mr. Jordan and his friends do a real disservice to their members on the Republican side to call upon them once, maybe more, we’ll see tomorrow, to vote for such a person for speaker," the California Democrat told MSNBC. "For some of them, it’s a good match. Some are right in there with him, but for some of them, you can see this has to be very painful for them."

Anyone who views the constituencies of the various GOP reps as being identical is nuts. The representatives all answer to different constituencies. There is certainly a significant element in the GOP that wants someone like Jordan.  There also is a significant element that doesn't. And that composition can vary widely by Congressional district.

Threatening moderates in purple or even blue districts with being primaried by hardline conservatives is an empty threat, and they know it.

Well yes, but then, Pelosi is just generally nuts in any event.

Yes, but a lot of folks on our side seem to hold the mirror image of her beliefs, and they're just as wrong.
