Current Events » in reply to Jordan seems to be actually losing ground in a second vote

Rep. Carlos A. Gimenez (R-Fla.) "I’m a Cuban. You just don’t do that to us."

Cubans are a subborn bunch I've noticed lol

Rep. Carlos A. Gimenez (R-Fla.), who voted for McCarthy over Jordan, told reporters that he thought McCarthy needed to “get another shot” at the speakership. He also blamed Jordan’s hardball methods for costing him votes. “His tactics certainly didn’t work on me,” Gimenez said. “Actually, I became more cemented in my position. … He should have probably left me to my own devices to get there. Now by being threatened, by being pushed — I’m Hispanic. I’m a Cuban. You just don’t do that to us.”


Jordan's smear tactics backfired bigtime and his Speakership bid is practically dead.
