As to Gaetz holding out, I have no problem with a Representive having expectation for a speaker. My issue with Rutherford is that he doesn't have one. His answer as to why he wouldn't vote for Jordan is pedantic. HIS answer. If Rutherford said, I will vote for him under these conditions, so long as those conditions are in line with what helps his voters, I wouldn't give a [BLEEP]. They aren't. He wants an establishment candidate. You know... the people who aren't trying to push for single item bills. I won't vote for that guy ever again. I will actively help someone campaign against him.

How Rutherford votes is more important than what he says. I think you're misinterpreting what Rutherford said.  For his part, Gaetz did not start the process back in January with coherent demands.  How did you feel in January?
