If House Republicans won't rally behind Rep. Jim Jordan or another GOP member to become speaker, GOP Rep. Mike Turner said Sunday that "obviously" a "deal will have to be done" with Democrats for a leader of the lower chamber.

Turner, a Republican from Ohio who chairs the House Intelligence Committee, told "Face the Nation" moderator Margaret Brennan on Sunday that Jordan, the right-wing Judiciary Committee chair, is his pick for McCarthy's successor. Rep. Nancy Mace of South Carolina said the same during an appearance on "Face the Nation" last weekend.

Mace was one of eight Republican members of the U.S. House of Representatives who voted with all Democrats to oust McCarthy from his role as House Speaker, in a historic revolt by right-wing lawmakers that came in response to McCarthy's reliance on Democrats to pass funding to avoid a government shutdown. Turner voted alongside the vast majority of Republicans to keep McCarthy as speaker, which is second in line for the presidency.

Since then, the GOP has split as it attempts to elect a new leader. Republican lawmakers on Wednesday selected Majority Leader Steve Scalise as their nominee for House Speaker, with Scalise beating out Jordan in a vote among Republicans by 113 to 99. Scalise later withdrew his name from consideration, and House Republicans on Friday nominated Jordan, with members saying Jordan won 124 votes.

Jordan was the assistant wrestling coach at Ohio State from 1986 to 1994. He is alleged to have turned a blind eye to college student molestation by the doctor, not "child molestation" as you said. Both are atrocious, no doubt.

About the driver of the get away car and the robbery? They both should have paid. As it is one of the former students, now an Attorney is handling the lawsuits against Jordan. He was there.

If he knew, he's guilty. All I was saying is that is he accused of turning a blind eye to college student molestation, not "child molestation" as you said.

Ex students. I believe them. They also told him. If the boy had a headache the Coach inspected his genitals. No way could Jordan have not known for 7 years. He was an enablors!

It was a part of Jordan’s job to protect them. He didn’t

Jordan is from my State. My DIL and 2 of her sisters were in that College so it upsets me that Jordan is in Congress, let alone running for Speaker. He was also an enablors in the attack on Congress and is trying to cover up now.

No argument with you.

be chosen by the second party in the House with the most members.
It gives them a more fair voice while allowing the majority party with more votes that way the two parties are more inclined to work together.

Freedom caucus can juice 70-80 of them at times. But they can't seem to put together 220 consistently in a policy package. It's all self-interest - be it business, fundamentalist, social issues. We may yet luck out as they dissolve themselves in vitriol.

You're all liars and frauds. Your promises are worthless. This is the only response you deserve to any deal you try to make:



You traitor thugs need to learn to clean up your own messes, for once in your disgusting scum lives, rather than expecting Democrats to do it for you, yet again.
