In a stunning turn of events, it seems that some Republicans are willing to throw themselves under the bus to make way for their beloved Rep. Jim Jordan to become the Speaker of the House. Talk about loyalty, folks!
Seven Republicans Offer to Be Censured to Make Jim Jordan Next Speaker

It all started with Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida, who rallied six other brave Republicans to stand up for Jordan’s Speaker nomination. In a letter to House Republicans, these courageous patriots expressed their willingness to be suspended, censured, or even completely removed from the Conference just to secure Jordan’s position. Now that’s what you call dedication!
But let’s not forget who these rebels are. They are the same seven out of eight Republicans who dared to oust former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy. They’ve clearly proven that they are not afraid to shake things up and challenge the status quo. Gotta respect their audacity, even if their methods are a tad unconventional.
Of course, there’s always one party pooper, and this time it’s Rep. Ken Buck from Colorado. While he initially had his name included in the letter, he quickly distanced himself from the whole ordeal, claiming it was a “mistake.” Come on, Buck, don’t be a buzzkill! Stand by your comrades and show some backbone. We need more Republicans like Gaetz and his gang who are willing to make sacrifices in the name of their cause.
Now, I know some of you may be thinking, “Why are these Republicans going to such great lengths for Jordan?” Well, my friends, it all comes down to unity and Republican virtues. They believe that what unites them is more important than their disagreements. And let’s be honest, who wouldn’t want a Speaker who embodies those values?
Unfortunately for Jordan, not everyone shares this enthusiasm for his leadership. A whopping 25 Republicans voted against him on Friday, giving him the lowest percentage of votes for a majority party’s nominee for speaker since 1859. Ouch! Looks like Jordan still has some work to do in order to win over his colleagues.
In the end, it’s refreshing to see Republicans willing to go to the extreme for their chosen leader. It just goes to show the level of dedication and loyalty within the party. As conservatives, we should applaud these politicians for their boldness and their unwavering commitment to their cause. Let’s hope this spirit of unity and sacrifice can inspire others in the GOP to stand up and fight for what they believe in.
