The House Freedom Caucus - Mark Fiore - Political Cartoons

[Rhiannon12866]

Thanks to chaos among House Republicans, we’re headed for a government shutdown.

Because Kevin McCarthy doesn’t want to lose his speakership, we’re headed for a shutdown.

Because the House of Representatives is being held hostage by the far-right “Freedom Caucus,” we’re headed for a shutdown — and active-duty military service-members will have to work without pay.

Because the Republican Party is now led by extremists, the program that provides supplemental nutrition to millions of women, infants and children (WIC) will likely have to close up shop for the time being.

(According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, this program provides assistance to 39% of all infants in the United States.)

1. A total lack of republican leadership.

2. They only answer to a constituent of one.

3. This is just what "leadership" does.

Personally, I'm not looking for leaders. Leaders go rogue.

I want representation, which mean following the will of the constituency.

So, I want followers as representatives.

The citizenry will do the leading.
