The Republican Party is in disarray. It isn’t an ideological battle going on as the leadership old and new have been on the same page for some time about not having any policy ideas. The main difference between what is called the “Freedom Caucus” and yesteryear’s establishment Republican Party leadership is that the Freedom Caucus has forced all conservatives to give up the false pretense that they ever had any policy ideas to begin with.
What we are all seeing as Congress watches Kevin McCarthy fail to win the vote for speaker of the House, over and over and over and over … and over again, is simply a crew that wants to leverage themselves up the chain of command in the Republican Party. These are people like Lauren Boebert and Scott Perry and Matt Gaetz and Chip Roy. You can find all of their names over at this unrelated post about Republicans who signed on for a coup d’état.
Fox News’ Sean Hannity is a friend of Donald Trump and also wants the establishment Republican Party to remain as in control as possible to give at least a semblance of competency to the political party he grifts off of. On Wednesday, Hannity brought Boebert on for what turned into quite a contentious interview.
