This guy is a terrible person even by Republican standards.
- Not only that, but he also looks like the most GENERIC Republican to exist
  
  Yeah, and he’s got the type of face that makes him look like a completely different person depending on the angle. Kinda weirds me out.
- Sounds like that is a bonus for them
How can he be in charge of the house when he doesn’t think Biden won the election?
- Are we even sure HE was elected? It’s all a sham! /s
  
  And also he’s an animatronic clone.
- I mean, about 70% of the GOP house didn’t want to certify the election. This speaker was always going to be a MAGA asshole that was backing Trump’s fascist lies.
This whole thing gives off strong Gilead vibes. :(
This will be an ever growing nightmare.
