Republican Representative Mike Rogers (House Armed Services Committee Chair) was furious when Kevin McCarthy came up one vote short in his effort to become Speaker of the House on ballot #14.
While McCarthy tried to convince Florida Representative Matt Gaetz to change his vote, Mike Rogers came into the picture to fight and had to be physically restrained. The event was captured on C-SPAN camera. Video at 01:20 Prompted:

This is all theater, it’s like watching professional wrestling. It’s all a game we are the sacrificial pawns…
Please… stop the nonsense. MTG’s issue was always about tactics. She was wrong, but at the end of the day, McCarthy got the speakership. You know who is in the sewer? Crenshaw and the other idiots going around calling people terrorists. You’re gonna throw Thomas Massie under the bus too? Gimme a break.
Let’s stop throwing our own under the bus, please. The establishment loves that.
All of these people knew exactly what they were doing.
I do not believe they were ever going to let the Dem get the Speakership.
What we see is what they let us see, there is so much more going on that we don’t see.
We were never in danger of allowing, by accident, this Jefferies creature getting the Speakership as Big Al seems to think.
Yes, I also think that MTG was convinced of the certainty of a Hakeem victory …
And why not? The Uniparty has stolen 2018, 2020, and 2022 from us, and she knows it. Why shouldn’t she believe that it was more than possible that it would done in the House??
Seeing how she was treated by Nanci and undefended by McCarthy AND OTHERS IN HER PARTY), why would she believe otherwise? It must have taken big courage to endorse him.
Who is the little guy with the bow tie doing all the gesturing?
It would appear that Mike Rogers has a lot of money riding on a McCarthy Speakership
Americans have a few choice words for Rogers.
MTG would be much hotter if she had an affair with Alex Stein #99 instead of Kevin Luntz.
Crass comments.
Rodgers is Chairman of the armed forces committee. He knows with the rules that hopefully pass on Monday his power of taking defense lobby money and being the only one writing the defense bill is over. That was NOT about McCarthy that was about that rat Rodgers losing power.
You hit the nail right on the head. The MIC will just have to get the CIA to start some more conflicts around the globe to make up the loss for defense contracting and giving equipment away.
Would anyone be surprised if either Rogers or Crenshaw would be very content with election cheating if it kept the money flowing in the Pelosi/Cheney manner. It’s past time for their tax records to be public.
Rogers toupee was front and center. Some discussion on the floor to throw that into the ring for Speaker.
Censure him and then boot him from Congress. Not fit to serve.
Congressman Mike Rogers is really mad, new rules may extinguish some of his power. Too bad he doesn’t fight for Americans like he fights to retain his lucre. He seems to be wearing the standard issue politician toupee. Does the toupee make Rogers look younger or handsome or smarter? Or do his actions match the phoniness or his toupee?
Gaetz looks terrified (not).
