The article from MSNBC's "The Reidout" blog discusses Representative Victoria Spartz's (R-Ind.) criticism of her fellow Republican colleagues for their behavior during a House speaker election. Spartz likened the situation to a "circus" and specifically called out Rep. Matt Gaetz for his disruptive tactics, comparing him to a "doge" or a "court jester." She expressed frustration over the lack of seriousness in addressing critical issues like the national debt, instead of engaging in what she perceives as political theater.
