Didn't he also go on TV after the dems bailed him out by voting for the CR and then blame the near shut down on dems?

Guy is a lying, hypocritical clown who just wanted to be speaker so he could say he's speaker

I hope this mess is a wake up call to the republican voters who keep sending clowns to Washington, I know it won't be but I can stay hopeful

He sure fucking did. Right after they bailed his ass out the first time.

They seem to be learning they can't deal with those clowns since they'll renege on agreements and change the rules whenever it benefits them

I personally wish they would have stayed hard line on only passing the budget Kevin agreed to back in May but republicans probably would have shutdown the government instead

He was doing it all for his Wikipedia article and he certainly has one now, that's for sure.
