INSTANT REPLAY: The Battle On The House Floor Gets Physical
While Kevin McCarthy was struggling to squeak out his Speaker victory (still never got to 218 but he won on a technicality), Mike Rogers from Alabama got big mad and lunged at Matt Gaetz having to be physically restrained by his colleagues.
In the photo that keeps on giving there are many many faces thinking many many things. Let’s dive in.
- Speaker Kevin McCarthy himself
It’s giving disappointed dad but where the dad is actually cheating on your mom and like embezzling from his work. It’s a darkly ironic disappointed dad face.
- The Queen Ms. Lauren Boebert
She cannot with these bitter old men. She needs an Advil and a glass of wine. Someone get Lauren out of there.
- Rep. Patrick McHenry bow tie clad
He’s like “are you for real?” True surprise from Mr. McHenry. This is genuine disbelief.
- Rep. Ann Wagner????
Someone confirm for me this is the OG Miss Ann Wagner or Renee Ellmers if you’re nasty.
- Rep. I’m sorry to this man, I do not know this man
I respect this glare. It’s really mingling disdain and like a “bring it on” vibe. He’s like “you’re dumb but also sure lets fight.” I really tried to figure out who he is but his official portrait must look kinda different.
- Beautiful Rep. Anna Paulina Luna
“Oh noooooo” in slow motion. I can see that the world has slowed down for her in this moment and she’s seeing the events frame by frame.
- The target, Rep. Matt Gaetz
To be honest this is shockingly calm. He’s like “yeah what of it?” Nonplussed I would say.
- Rep. I think this is Anthony D’Esposito but am not totally sure (he doesn’t usually wear glasses but I’ve seen them on his head)
This is a classic “back up bro” and I’m here for it.
- Rep. Andy Ogles
Pure disdain. “Pathetic” is running through his brain right now. Like he smelled something bad.
- Rep. Chuck Fleischmann
Chuck appears to be watching sports or playing a game on his phone which is tbh kind of a boss move. Doesn’t even look up.
10. These two staffers/guests
“This is 10 times better than I thought it would be.”
- And the rage machine Mike Rogers himself
*SMOOSH*
