Do you agree?
In a span of just 6 hours yesterday four events took place which showed how divided the GOP has become.

“This is a Fox News alert,” said Ingraham to her viewers.
“We just got our hands on a new video of what’s been going down on Capitol Hill,” proclaimed the host.
Ingraham followed up with a clip of a high school fight from the film Mean Girls, and mocked the quarreling Republicans, comparing them to high school girls.
She first reviewed a disputed push that Rep. McCarthy allegedly gave fellow GOP lawmaker, Rep. Burchett after being ousted from his
Speaker of the House position.
McCarthy denies these allegations, but Rep. Gaetz has reportedly filed an ethics violation against the former Speaker.
Ingraham told her viewers that Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene called Rep. Darrell Issa “a word I’m not going to say on TV” following her failed attempt to impeach Sec. Mayorkas.
Greene reportedly posted on X a video of former President Trump saying “She said he’s a p—-.”
Democratic Rep. Jared Moskowitz challenged GOP Rep. James Comer on his family’s finances, which quickly erupted into name calling.
“You look like a Smurf,” barked Comer at Moskowitz.
Rep. McCarthy could face discipline for an alleged shoving incident involving another Republican lawmaker.
Rep. Gaetz reportedly wrote a letter to House Ethics Chairman Rep.Michael Guest and Rep. Susan Wild demanding that the altercation, involving McCarthy’s alleged “sucker punch” to Rep. Burchett’s kidney be investigated by the Ethics Committee.
“This Congress has seen a substantial increase in breaches of decorum, unlike anything we have seen since the pre-Civil War era,” wrote Gaetz.
“I myself have been a victim of outrageous conduct on the House floor as well, but nothing like an open and public assault on a Member, committed by another member,” charged the Florida representative.
Adding, “The rot starts at the top.”
“While Rep. Burchett is within his rights to decline to press charges against Rep. McCarthy, your Committee does have a duty to investigate breaches of the binding Code of Official Conduct,” he explained.
“You don’t expect that sort of thing from an adult, certainly not one who was once third in line for the White House,” snipped Rep. Burchett in an interview with Fox News.
“I’ll take a polygraph test. And have Kevin take a polygraph test,” offered Burchett.
“It was deliberate. It was just a cheap shot by a bully,” lamented the Tennessee Republican.
