"SNIP........

Tara Palmeri: “By suggesting Scalise, the Never Kevin bloc has subtly demonstrated that they’re not just interested in chaos for chaos’ sake. They have a real viable alternative, and it’s not just anybody: Scalise, after all, is one of the most popular, well-liked members of the House, who came out of the conference vote unanimously elected as Majority Whip, or McCarthy’s No. 2.”

“Meanwhile, McCarthy himself hobbled out of the same vote with at least 36 members not willing to vote for him.”

Said one source: “They just hate Kevin, and he’s not Kevin.”

........SNIP"

3. Slime 2.0

[BOSSHOG]

4. After being elected to congress

Scalise told his supporters in his kkk supporting district that he was David duke without the baggage. Most popular and well liked indeed. Is there a nickels worth of difference between any potential gop speaker? Won’t it be great when gym starts issuing subpoenas? Ya know that gym.

5. Horrifying.

[tenderfoot]

6. I still think his shooting was staged

I can't prove it but I think it.

[BOSSHOG]

8. When it comes to conservative shenanigans

Anything is possible. And yeah, I agree with your hypothesis. Scalise is pure slime, but I digress. I think every Republican in the house and Senate are pure slime. More digression.

10. Please Alex Jones

The shooting was not staged a guy who was going through a mental crisis had access to a gun and he used it. Members of congress and two cops were shot. It was not staged, it was not fake, it was a mass shooting.

[PCIntern]

17. Agreed

He didn’t get winged in his shoulder or trigger finger like a Lone Ranger episode. He was seriously wounded.

7. Rancid POS

And that’s the best I have to say about him.

[BOSSHOG]

9. I have to ask McCarthy or scalise?

Upon further review both answers are correct.

[BeyondGeography]

15. Scalise

He can be trusted to be even worse than McCarthy. But, certainly, your point holds.

[Wounded Bear]

11. Would you rather have your throat cut or your head chopped off?

Repubs running a game of Worse and Worser.

12. He is just a McCarthy mini-me

[Historic NY]

[tavernier]

16. I was about to post "He's just as dumb"

and then I noticed your post. We need to switch places

[ananda]

18. He said he was going to challenge McCarthy awhile back.

So... not surprised.
