I’m not talking about Prince Harry
That’s the person the media was touting as the moderate, sober choice to replace Kevin McCarthy if he didn’t get over the line on the speaker vote. He is much more popular in the caucus than McCarthy and you can see why. He’s nuts and so are they.
Here’s an example of Scalise’s rhetoric from December:
“Today’s final report is further proof that Democrats’ sham panel never was about impartial oversight—it was purely about politics. Instead of conducting impartial oversight of the federal government’s pandemic response, Democrats worked overtime to cover up President Biden’s failure to protect Americans. Democrats refused to investigate after we exposed the Biden White House manipulating the science to allow a radical teachers union to rewrite CDC guidance so they could make it easier to shut down schools. They refused to investigate the origins of COVID-19 and efforts by Dr. Fauci to downplay the Wuhan lab leak theory.
Democrats also refused to investigate the Biden Administration sidelining scientists during the booster approval process, and they have failed to hold former Governor Andrew Cuomo and other Democrat governors accountable for their deadly orders forcing COVID-positive patients back into nursing homes, resulting in the unnecessary deaths of thousands of seniors. The Biden Administration’s reckless actions denied a proper education to millions of our nation’s young people, placed Americans at risk for future pandemics, and denied grieving families the justice they deserve.
I know you are but what am I?
He’s a mainstream Republican leader. That’s what we’re dealing with now.
