Spandex-wearing grapple-freak MAGA Congressman Jim Jordan on Wednesday spoke up at the morning’s all-hands House GOP meeting and, per Punchbowl’s Jake Sherman’s sources, said the party faces two choices on handling healthcare: One is that they suck up to it and add “reforms” to any extension of Obamacare subsidies – as in simply making it shittier and harder to obtain like they did with Medicaid – or the swing-seat “moderates” in the conference will end up joining with Dems on a discharge petition, which would pass easily, and thus no “reforms” to the ACA.
“VERY interesting. Made a lot of ears perk up in the room,” Sherman writes of the reaction.
Meanwhile Politico reports the meeting was otherwise a shitshow. “There was a general uneasiness because nothing is coming together,” one member said. “We wasted so much time,” said another.
