Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is not too impressed with her GOP colleagues right now, as House Republicans prepare once again to try and select a new Speaker. As she told The Daily Show guest host Desus Nice on Monday night, “They’re on the struggle bus a little bit.”
As of Tuesday, the House has gone 21 days without a Speaker, and this week will mark the third time Republicans convene to nominate a new one. The handful of officials vying for the job seem to illustrate the lawmakers’ lack of unity, as the New York Times reports that internal feuding has “paralyzed the chamber.”
On The Daily Show, Ocasio-Cortez—who represents New York’s 14th District in Congress—stated the problem more plainly: “Republicans kicked out their Speaker, and now they can’t find a new guy to run their group project. … And they’re all fighting with each other about it.”
