Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) is considered one of the primary candidates to become House Speaker after the ousting of Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA).
The United States of America is trillions of dollars in debt, has an unsecure border, and crumbling infrastructure.
However, Jordan signaled his support to replenish Israel's stockpile of Iron Dome missiles after the Hamas attack.
"Rockets are raining down on Israeli towns right now. We need to immediately help replenish Israel’s stockpile of Iron Dome missiles to protect more innocent civilians from getting killed. Let’s make sure Congress can unite and assure Israel has what it needs to destroy Hamas," Jordan said Sunday.

What is happening in Israel is HORRIBLE, and NO one is taking away from that…And, I support their plight.
HOWEVER, I’m going to say as an American citizen that Congress hasn’t given ONE IOTA of a damn about OUR OWN COUNTRY and the absolute MESS we are in.
NOT about securing… https://t.co/WG7qXNeuvr

NOT about securing the border.
NOT about reducing crime.
NOT about ending inflation.
NOT about putting CRIMINALS who are in power behind bars.
NOT ABOUT JACK S**T TO HELP THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, AT HOME.
ADVERTISEMENTBut, EVERY TIME there is a conflict in another country, the Military Industrial Complex CANNOT WAIT to throw BILLIONS more of OUR tax dollars away for “aid”
IT. NEVER. FAILS.
THESE PEOPLE DON’T GIVE A S**T ABOUT US, AND THAT MUCH IS BLATANTLY OBVIOUS.
The Hill reports:
House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul (R-Texas) on Sunday stressed the importance of electing a Speaker in order to replenish funding for Israel and to demonstrate unified support in the wake of Hamas’s attacks on the country.
“We have to get a Speaker elected this week, so we can get things on the floor like replenishing the Iron Dome, get a resolution that Ranking Member [Gregory Meeks (D-N.Y.)] and I have been working on, a bipartisan resolution condemning Hamas for what they have done to Israel,” McCaul said in an interview on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
“We want to get that on the floor by unanimous consent. Whether or not we have a Speaker in place, because I think we cannot wait. We have to get that message out as soon as possible.” McCaul added.
What do you think?
Will Jim Jordan be Kevin McCarthy 2.0 if he becomes House Speaker?
