CNNs Jake Tapper shut down GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley for blaming President Biden for the House being unable to elect a new Republican Speaker after Rep. Kevin McCarthys (R-Calif.) unprecedented ouster.

Tapper asked Haley on State of the Union if Rep. Austin Scotts (R-Ga.) remarks on the House Speakership election were accurate when he said the Speakerless House makes the Republicans look like a bunch of idiots. Haley began her response by criticizing the Biden administration before Tapper jumped in to interrupt, saying that the turmoil in Congress was not at the hands of the president.

Well, Ill tell you whats right is. Under the Biden administration, weve seen chaos within she said before Tapper interjected.
You cant blame that on Biden. You cant blame this on Biden, Tapper said.

Well, you have to let me finish, Haley said. We have seen chaos with inflation. Weve seen chaos with the lack of transparency in education. Weve seen chaos on the border. Weve seen chaos with crime on the streets, and now were seeing chaos around the world.

What Im saying is you cant fix Democrat chaos with Republican chaos. They need to get it together. They need to get in a room and figure out who this is going to be and come out unified. Thats what Republicans need to do. This is not a good look. This is not good for our country. We saw what happened to Israel when they were distracted, she continued.

The House voted to oust McCarthy from the top leadership post nearly two weeks ago. Since then, the House has been in disarray as House Republicans struggle to come to a consensus on who their new leader should be.

After Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) took his name out of the running last week following the GOP conferences vote to nominate him, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) was put forward by the conference. Its unclear whether he would have enough support on the House floor to be elected as Speaker.

That's all Republicans have, they don't have any governing ideas they just want to enact cruel legislation and appease their rich donors however they can

And they don't appear to be getting much traction out of blaming Dems for this. Doesn't stop them from trying.

Thanks Obama

More blood on Bush's hands
