Politics, All For You

I read recently that Marjorie Taylor Greene once said about the January 6th uprising that if she was there, it would have got done. Last night watching the vote after vote expected to see shooed MCarthy shooed in as Speaker of the House and after the umpteenth time Kevin lost then they had taken a vote to go home and return Monday, and several Republicans wanted to slug it out with Rep Matt Gaetz, who during row call he said “Present”. He did not vote for Kevin McCarthy as he was expected to do, he was the last holdout. We were sitting in front to the TV watching play by play. We watched them having to hold back a representative from Alabama to keep him tearing into Gaetz. In the crowd I saw Marjarie Taylor Greene making her way towards Getz. She got in the row behind Matt Gaetz and evidently hollered out his name. Matt Gaetz turned around to see Marjorie wanting to speak to him. They spoke, both smiling. Then Gaetz pulled out his phone and looked at what it had to say. He smiled and turned around and smile at Greene. She left, apparently, she did her job. Shortly after that the Go Home, Come Back Monday order cancelled and a new Row Call, Kevin McCarthy was elected speaker of the House. And Marjarie Taylor Green apparently got the job done. I wonder what message was on the cell phone?
