‘Get a grip’: WSJ editor warns the GOP they are about to descend into a frenzy of ‘self-mutilation’
After watching House Republicans squabble and almost come to blows over the selection of a new speaker after taking control of the chamber in the midterms, the former editor-in-chief of the Wall Street Journal expressed his disgust with the state of the GOP in a blistering column. Former editor-in-chief Gerard Baker started off by praising the stellar job former Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) did with her own caucus and contrasted that with last week’s chaos over a simple leadership vote that was televised by C-SPAN in all of its embarrassing glory.
Republicans turned off the C span cameras and closed the ethics rules.
None of the problems the chaotic republicans had as they picked a weak speaker ever happened under strong Pelosi.
