So let me get this straight. Jim Jordan wants to be Speaker, but he doesn’t nearly have the votes, so he’s going ahead anyway counting on his allies to bully and harass his opponents into submission by inundating them with MAGA extremist calls to their offices, with the help of Sean Hannity on Fox? If I were a holdout, this would make me dig in even further, but then again I don’t know what it’s like to be a Republican without a spine.

If they fear that much for their bodily safety, and that of their families, maybe they should resign from Congress and find a safer job.

@CaseyL @georgetakei resignation will not set them free, alas. Dodging the bullet by abstaining in absence due to attending a family funeral, a vehement bout of diarrhea or somesuch just might.
