MARYLAND DEMOCRATIC CONGRESSMAN REACTS TO G.O.P. SPEAKER SELECTION

Maryland Democratic Congressman Steny Hoyer is reacting after Republicans selected Ohio Congressman Jim Jordan as their party’s nominee for Speaker.  Hoyer says instead of choosing a bipartisan path forward, House Republicans decided to align with Donald Trump and the far-right, partisan fringe of their party.  He also said it’s the latest indication that Republicans have allowed extremists, agitators, and demagogues to hijack their party.
