For the second time in 24 hours, Bryan Steil has voted for extremist Jim Jordan for speaker. Steil has had every opportunity to embrace a bipartisan governing coalition, but once again caved to the demands of his far-right colleagues.
As Rep. Tom Cole introduced Jordan before the vote, he reminded Steil and dysfunctional House Republicans that Jordan is hellbent on going after Wisconsinites’ Social Security and Medicare.
Let’s not forget that Jordan also led efforts to ban abortion nationwide with no exceptions for rape or incest and has voted against every single Farm Bill during his time in Congress.
DCCC Spokesperson Mallory Payne:
“Bryan Steil doesn’t care if Wisconsinites’ hard-earned Social Security and Medicare are on the line – his biggest priority is siding with the most extreme members of his party.”
