Alabama Republican Rep Mike Rogers was seen lunging at Matt Gaetz on Friday night for voting “present” and denying Kevin McCarthy the speakership for the 14th time.
So if members who refused to Coronate Kevin McCarthy are “terrorists”, what do you call McCarthy and Mike Rogers going after @MattGaetz and trying to intimidate him for voting present?

Too bad Rogers and McCarthy can’t get this angry about our own country being sold down the river.
According to a report in The Daily Mail, the GOP rebels have managed to get some concessions but nothing spectacular.
