Which allowed the GOP controlled house to elect a much more fashy religious zealot who will be waaaaay worse for the country?

Am I missing something here? How is this not the biggest "own goal" they have pulled in recent memory? Now we get to listen to endless whining by liberal media outlets about how evil the new anti-daddy of the week is?

    What were the vote numbers? Don't the republicans have a majority and wanted him out anyway since he helped pass the spending bill or whatever they do every two years to keep the government functioning

          I feel like nobody's talking about it. They all moved onto how the new guy (that they basically facilitated getting in) is the new super double trumputler with arsenic sauce.

          It's easy to just ignore getting owned when you can just scare your base with the new boogyman
