Fox News anchor Dana Perino has a time-tested idea for House Republicans who can’t decide on a speaker, an approach proven through centuries of trial and error by generations of politicians.
“The Five” host says they should get beaten up and take it out.
Perino, speaking as a panelist on “The Five” Wednesday, addressed the latest setback for Republicans after failing to garner enough votes for the second straight day after Kevin McCarthy’s sixth vote on the first day were unable to elect the leader of the House. ,
“There was no movement toward Kevin McCarthy today. There was a little bit of movement,” Perino began, apparently doing what the show’s hosts often do for comedic effect (whether the laughs are with them or at them for another time). subject is).
“So a little bit at an impasse. I think the other thing that is happening is that the name-calling is happening within the party,” Perino continued before offering encouraging words. “And they’re gonna get through it.”
It was not clear who was calling whom on Wednesday, but Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert made perhaps the most eye-opening headlines when she took the stage and disgraced former president donald trump to set McCarthy straight instead supporting him,

“I’m not saying — look,” Perino said. “Yes, I am saying. Go have a drink.
