Representatives brought families to witness them take their oaths. Only to wait hours for nothing.

Just like the rest of us.
The House Republicans are off to a rip-roaring start!
It’s incredible that all this insanity is due to Sean Maloney. What a schmuck.
That baby is straight out of a Renaissance painting.
waaaiiittt do they work now? Is there a live stream for people abroad? I want to see politicians work.
Why does this look like an SNL skit?

> Incoming U.S. Rep. Robert Menendez Jr. (D-NJ) holds his child during the first day of the 118th Congress in the House Chamber of the U.S. Capitol Building on January 03, 2023 in Washington, DC. Today members of the 118th Congress will be sworn-in and the House of Representatives will elect a new Speaker of the House.

Baby is so over it lmao
20 fanatics can stop the entire U.S. government until they get what they want.
Awesome system America has.
Really do have to wonder about how much resentment the Moderate Republicans are building against the Conservatives.
Not well versed in American politics. Can someone ELI5 what’s holding up the speaker being assigned?
Edit: thank you to those that replied for your explanation. Good luck neighbours to the south.
Good now they know how we feel waiting on them to enact basic health and data safety services that have been available in Europe for decades already
Man I could enjoy this more if the reason things were being held up wasn’t because McCarthy was *too moderate*. It makes me a little concerned that the rest of the Republicans will eventually just vote for someone more on the extreme right, just to get things moving.
A bold move to bring your children into the same room as Matt Gaetz, you know Gym Jordan isn’t going to see anything.
Hope he does a better job supporting his constituents than he does his baby’s head!
Can’t believe these people are brave enough to bring their children around known pedo Matt Gaetz
Just your regular reminder not to put Republicans in charge of your government for the same reason not to put the Amish in charge of your IT department.
Remember a few years ago when Republicans were responsible for the longest federal government shutdown in history? And now they’re responsible for the longest delay in choosing a Speaker of the House in a century, effectively preventing Congress from doing their jobs?
They’re really breaking the mold in all the dumbest ways possible.
Thanks conservatives!!! Keep making intelligent decisions.
I was wondering why I was hearing a baby crying on C-SPAN. I thought it was McCarthy.
At least one person in that room got shit done.
Wait, but according to George Santos he was sworn in and did take his oath
Dude looks like he just got done saying “Sign the document or I punch the baby again.”
SNL skit or legislative branch? These are very confusing times
Every time Politicians in any part of the world are shown suffering by the media, hoping for ordinary people to empathize with me, it actually makes me revel in their misery even more. These politicians have no idea how much people around the world suffer due to their greed and indifference.
The dildo of consequences rarely arrives lubed.
It’s almost like electing a bunch of unethical idiots is a bad idea.
