The RINOs were successful in blocking Jim Jordan from becoming Speaker of the House, going against the will of the people in the process.
Today, Rep. Jim Jordan withdrew from the House Speaker race after his bid was thwarted by 22 RINOs.
Jordan was the clear choice of grassroots support, but the GOP establishment effectively prevented his leadership within the Republican Party.
The RINOs who blocked Jordan will indeed face backlash from their constituents.
The next Speaker vote will be held in January at the earliest, with Jim Jordan temporarily stepping aside.
During this time, he will throw his support behind RINO Patrick McHenry, a McCarthy ally, who will serve as the interim Speaker until January.
Jake Sherman broke the story.
