Republican bitch fight will be more fun than Democratic House! MTG vs moderate R Don Bacon willing to work with Democrats to elect a moderate Republican for the top post.

 “Moderate GOP Rep. Don Bacon of Nebraska told NBC News on Monday night that if the GOP Conference can't agree on electing McCarthy or any other Republican as speaker on the House floor, then he would be willing to work with Democrats to elect a moderate Republican for the top post.

"I will support Kevin McCarthy, but if we do get to that point, I do want the country to work and we need to govern. We can't sit neutral; we can't have total gridlock for two years," Bacon said in an interview just off the House floor…

Later on Bannon’s “War Room,” Gaetz mocked Greene — one of his closest friends and allies — for trusting McCarthy. Gaetz referred to a conspiracy theory Greene previously promoted that blamed wildfires in California on Jewish space lasers.

“Whatever Kevin has promised Marjorie Taylor Greene, I guarantee you this: At the first opportunity, he will zap her faster than you can say Jewish space laser,” Gaetz said.
