This quote is simply amazing β€” I don't think, in any other circumstance, Republicans would accept the suggestion that Biden could handle a national security crisis without congressional oversight! https://www.nytimes.com/2023/01/04/us/politics/house-speaker-representatives.html

Think it’s more like: in any other circumstance, Republicans would pretend to believe Biden can’t be trusted, but here their true understanding of the situation is revealed. Should affect how credulously we treat their future pronouncements.

@brianbeutler
More evidence that the GOP_ are a bunch of clowns that failed at basic Civics.
