House Republicans Growing Angry Over ‘Politically Dumb’ Investigations By Far Right Members

The "moderate" wing of the Republican Party in the House of Representatives is reportedly getting fed up with the actions of the lunatic extremists in the House, and they lashed out this week calling these nonstop investigations that have produced nothing are "politically dumb." The funny part is that this is the same thing that people like Kevin McCarthy and even Matt Gaetz suggested last year, before actually getting power and completely changing their tunes. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what's happening.

According to reports, the so-called normal Republicans in the House of Representatives, the normal ones of course, being the ones who are fine with being evil privately, not necessarily publicly, right? They don't wear their bigotry on their sleeve. It still exists, but they don't broadcast it for everybody. Those are the normal Republicans, the traditional ones. But anyway, those Republicans, according to reports, are growing more and more off about the lunatic Republicans who have of course usurped the power in the House of Representatives. And they're using that power to launch nothing but failed investigations into, well, everything, whether it's their investigations into the fact checkers at universities, or you know, the investigation into the Manhattan District Attorney, where Jim Jordan gets slapped around the investigation into the weaponization of the F B I that, you know, has basically shown us that they have no evidence to back anything up the investigation into Twitter, where that, that kind of blew up in their faces.

And of course, their investigations into Hunter and Joe Biden, which have produced exactly nothing worthy of even talking about. In fact, it's gotten so bad that even conservative media outlets have attacked these house Republicans and said to their faces, you've given us nothing, you've wasted our time. But now the normal Republicans, again, go back to my definition of normal Republicans, they're getting angry. Paul Ryan, who of course is no longer in the House of Representatives, but his former aid, Brendan Buck, recently spoke to msnbc, and this is what he said, I feel for Kevin McCarthy, a not insignificant part of the job of being speaker is stopping your members from doing something politically dumb. And that's clearly what is going on here. But the reality is, house members are losing patience with a lot of these investigations. That's because they rushed out right after the election and said that pretty plainly that Joe Biden is part of some corruption deal with his son.

In fact, Jim Jordan and James Comer, the two-party chairman, came out and said they have direct evidence that Joe Biden was part of some schemes with his overseas dealings. Of course, six months later we've not seen any of that. So at some point, your members get tired, lose patience, and they wanna see action. That's what came to a head with representative Lauren Bobert. Kevin McCarthy has put that to bed, but I wouldn't be surprised if that doesn't bring itself back up in the not too distant future. Uh, lemme go ahead and correct you there, Mr. Buck, uh, Kevin McCarthy did not in fact put that to bed. Um, so I don't, I don't know what, I don't know what you've been watching, but that is not at all what happened. Bobert openly defied Kevin McCarthy twice when he said, come to the meeting on Tuesday and explain your case. And then he said, okay, we'll come back on Wednesday and explain it after she didn't show up Tuesday. Then of course, she didn't show up on Wednesday, so I don't know what you're talking about. McCarthy putting this to bed. McCarthy

Got his handed to him by Lauren Bobert, and of course she made a big fool of herself and off the Republicans even more. But I like his statement politically dumb because according to the polling data, most Americans view these, uh, uh, investigations being conducted by these Republicans as politically motivated.
