Wow what a shock that a man who covered up the rape of kids at his school didn’t get elected to the third most important position in American politics.
Sadly that wouldn't be the worst Republican speaker we've had.
Hastert was a child rapist, not just an enabler.
Was Hastert also a literal NAZI?
Not that I know of. Is Jordan? I thought that was Scalise.
You're kidding, right? He already participated in a fascist coup attempt. The Elise Stefanik quote at the top of this thread is praising how much of a NAZI he is (in case you didn't know, "America First" has been a slogan used by American fascists since WWII).
I can't keep up with all the awful shit every Republican is up to these days. I kind of stopped reading his rap sheet at pedophile enabler
That's fair, although I do think it's worth keeping up with the Republican NAZI count just to gauge how fast we're speedrunning the Weimar Republic.
I assure you, as depressing as it is, that fact is probably irrelevant to this decision.
It may have got him more votes:
