This is the best summary I could come up with:
Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-N.C.) was among a group of Republican lawmakers who shouted at a reporter who asked Vice Conference Chair and Speaker nominee Mike Johnson (R-La.)
ABC News reporter Rachel Scott was attempting to ask Johnson about his stance on the issue during a press conference Tuesday evening, after he became the latest Speaker nominee.
Johnson was surrounded by various members of the House GOP, who began to laugh and shout as Scott was asking her question.
The first two nominees, Scalise and House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), also failed to garner enough votes.
He was one of 139 House Republicans who voted to object the 2020 election results in Arizona, Pennsylvania or both in the hours that followed the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the Capitol, and was among more than 100 House Republicans to sign a 2020 amicus brief supporting a Texas lawsuit that aimed to overturn the election results in Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
The GOP is becoming increasingly desperate in in its quest to find someone for the position former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) was ousted in a historic vote earlier this month.
