what would it be like with him as speaker? no, it s intolerable and it cannot happen and that s why in our statement that several of us chairs of the different caucuses, the black caucus, the progressive caucus, hispanic caucus, asian-american caucus put out, we said kevin mccarthy is either unwilling or unable to control his caucus and that shows that he cannot be in leadership of his caucus much less in leadership of the house of representatives. joy, it goes to the fundamental brokeness of the republican party today. they do not even have basic decency, they can t even have a conversation about what is right and wrong. it is wrong to call a member of congress a suicide bomber. it is wrong to joke about that
about ilhan omar, she s a bigot. boebert is a bigot. but most importantly lauren boebert incited violence against another fellow member of congress. she called a fellow member of congress a suicide bomber. the scary thing, though, jessica, is lauren boebert is exactly where the republican party base is. you and i consider what she said to be outrageous. the base doesn t. it is outrageous. and to just sit there and listen to it, you hear her getting laughs from the crowd there, it is clearly done for laughs. and she s probably going to fund-raise off of it and make a fair amount of money for her re-election campaign. it boggles the mind, but to your point, that s where her base, that s where the republican party base is right now. that s the danger. look, lauren boebert is who she is. jessica, the danger for all of us is the republican party base
