Earlier today, Breaking Digest reported that House Republicans nominated anti-Trump RINO Tom Emmer (RINO-MN), and a former spokesperson associated with a Soros-funded group, as their Speaker candidate, once again turning their backs on their voters.
Following five rounds of voting, Tom Emmer secured victory with a 20-vote margin over his closest competitor, Mike Johnson from Louisiana.
After the initial vote, the House GOP conducted a roll call vote within their conference to assess whether Emmer would garner sufficient support to secure victory on the House floor. It was RINO Tom Emmer who explicitly requested this roll call vote.

This will help him figure out if he could get close to 217
He was unsuccessful. According to Jake Sherman of Punchbowl News, there were 26 “no” votes, although there might have been a minor discrepancy in the count.
IT’S OFFICIAL — Roll-call vote is over. 26 House Republicans said they would vote for someone else besides Tom Emmer for speaker on the floor.

A gigantic pool of nos.

Democrats are reportedly willing to help Emmer, as they see him as the “least objectionable” GOP House member, likely having at least a little to do with the fact that he voted to certify the very obviously rigged and stolen 2020 Presidential election.
Tom Emmer is way worse than McCarthy, which is why Democrats are considering voting to elect him Speaker

The Democrats supporting Emmer should tell you everything you need to know about him.
The GOP should never have chosen Emmer as their nominee. If the American people aren’t given a list of those who supported him in the secret ballot then it is our duty to vote them all out, with exceptions, of course, for the 20 or so that have demonstrated a willingness to honor the will of the people.
The entire GOP needs to be overhauled to weed out of all of the RINOs.
As we report here, a good number of House Democrats considering sitting out to allow Emmer to become speaker. https://t.co/AG0uMrwhg4
