House GOP plots punishment for Republicans who voted for Biden’s bill

Prominent members of the House Republican caucus have come under serious fire this week for a series of deeply offensive social media posts. Unrepentant racist and fanatical Big Lie promoter Paul Gosar (R-AZ) shared a bizarre anime video in which a character with his head superimposed kills another with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s head superimposed, while Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene launched into a lengthy Twitter thread praising civil rights leader turned anti-Semitic conspiracy hack Louis Farrakhan.

Thankfully, the House Republican caucus is taking these issues very seriously and has begun discussing plans to punish the two offenders.

Just kidding, of course they aren’t. What the Freedom Caucus is actually doing is taking steps to force Minority Leader McCarthy to punish the thirteen Republicans who voted for President Biden’s bipartisan infrastructure bill by stripping them of their committee assignments, according to POLITICO’s Punchbowl this morning:

This is yet another display of just how deeply radicalized House Republicans have become, to the point where any deviation from the Trumpian no-compromise party line is treated as heresy and punished almost immediately by the psychotic extremists that make up the “Freedom” caucus.

Several red states stand to benefit greatly from the bipartisan infrastructure bill — as do several vulnerable Republican politicians who now can show their voters that they can compromise to get stuff done — but it’s obvious that Republicans like McCarthy, Gosar, and Greene would rather see their constituents die in a hospital bed from COVID than lift a finger to do anything resembling their actual jobs.

If we lost the House next year, these are the clowns who will be in charge of the madhouse — and our nation can’t afford to let that happen.
