A late-night meeting in House Speaker Mike Johnson’s office went off the rails Tuesday, with multiple sources describing the session as the most contentious this year. Among those summoned were the top leaders of the five ideological caucuses, known as the “five families,”The speaker wanted a bill to suspend the gas tax through the election, an effort spearheaded by House Freedom Caucus Chair Andy Harris (R-Maryland).The meeting quickly devolved into chaos, according to five sources in the room and another briefed on the meeting.Rep. Sam Graves (R-Missouri), chair of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, brought in a printed post on X from 2022 in which Harris criticized Joe Biden’s efforts to suspend the gas tax.Graves, who sits on a committee of jurisdiction for the gas tax, was opposed to the bill being moved to the floor outside of regular order and cited Harris’ previous comments.Harris got livid and began banging the desk, yelling, “This is fucking war! This is war!” according to sources in the room.He was starting to storm out of the room when the speaker attempted to stop him by telling him to stay and “talk this out.”Rep. Clay Higgins (R-Louisiana), an ally of Harris’, started to berate Graves.Higgins said. “You disrespectful fool!”He stormed out of the room along with Harris.The following day, Higgins took to X and fired another shot at Graves, saying in a post that Graves is an “Establishment elitist”“[Graves] just killed the Freedom Caucus bill that would have canceled the federal fuel tax for 3 months. Our intention was to bring the bill to the House floor tomorrow night. Man wants his taxes,” Higgins said. “And he was rude about it. Unbelievable. The swamp is fighting hard to come back.”https://www.washingtonsun.com/congress/house-republican-meeting-turns-into-shouting-match-speaker-johnson-andy-harris

I thought Republicans were supposed to be the adults in the room. Why couldn't they agree on a simple policy to help the average American? Why did they resort to screaming and banging desks like autistic children?

>>542848713>>542848873You are both either shills or retards, maybe even both.The irgc has proven it cannot keep it's word yet you claim removing trump will fix this, beyond that this is /pol/ and everyone with a brain here can see the oil prices are being globally rigged most currently because of midterms in the us happens every time democrats are not currently in control.
Republicans are designed to only suck jewish and billionaire cock.

>>542848243>The swamp is fighting hard to come backFun joke. I dont follow MAGA politics but arent they all deelstate suckers?
Why dont they subsidize gasoline until the midterms to win over trailer trash who does not realize gas prices will double after the midterms? Fund this with more debt. Boomers make every problem a problem for the future, so why not this? America could have $1/gallon gas tomorrow, just subsidize it $5/gallon and make millenials pay for it someday.Germany is doing this too, they have zero retirement savings, none. Everyone under 52 is being sacrificed at the altar of boomer comfort.
>>54284824346 more days and you fools up for reelection are getting the fucking boot. Democrats are going to win and your cope and seethe will be all the salt to mine.
>>542848613Because Republicans don't care about helping the average American. They never have. Democrats try and fail hilariously, but Republicans never even make the attempt.
>>542848243>The swamp is fighting hard to come backThe Swamp was assimilated by another swamp.
