No. This is EXACTLY what has caused Republicans to be exploited by the Democrats. They have no backbone. If Gaetz was promised things by the speaker, he has a duty to hold him to it. I have no problems with that. When my representative is asked why he won't support Jordan, and he says, I won't support anyone Gaetz supports, that is not driven by duty. What if Gaetz had supported Scalise? Hell, McCarthy supported Jordan. Get out of here. He's didn't avoid setting a bad precedent. He's going to avoid getting my vote.

Furthermore, where do you get this idea that no one can go against the speaker? AOC said she was going to do this to Pelosi but didn't. It is literally going to take more of this kind of action to take back control of congress from the establishment.
