As a pal of Jim Jordan, Congressman Cline was strong and steadfast in his support for Jordan’s bid to be Speaker of the House. Until now, he has been fairly even-tempered with his Republican colleagues who opposed Jordan. He seemed to think they could ultimately be persuaded to support the hard-right Republican congressman.
He said, “I would never call my [Republican] colleagues silly for supporting somebody else.”
But after Jordan lost a third rollcall vote, and 112 House Republicans voted in secret to revoke his nomination as their candidate for Speaker, Cline let loose.
That is, Cline is accusing a majority of his fellow House Republicans of being cowardly denizens of the Swamp.
But at least he’s not calling them silly.
