Rep.-elect Byron Donalds has responded to criticism from fellow Rep.-elect Cori Bush, who said his “being Black” makes him a “prop” in the House speaker race.<\/a><\/p>\n

Taking to Twitter, Donalds, R-Fla.<\/a>, responded to Bush, D-Missouri, by simply saying: “Nobody asked.” He also encouraged her to challenge his “policies and the outcomes” rather than the color of his skin.<\/p>\n

“Don’t be a crab in a barrel” he added.<\/p>\n

“FWIW, @ByronDonalds is not a historic candidate for Speaker. He is a prop. Despite being Black, he supports a policy agenda intent on upholding and perpetuating white supremacy,” Bush tweeted Wednesday afternoon.<\/p>\n

CORI BUSH ATTACKS BYRON DONALDS AS \u2018A PROP,\u2019 CLAIMS HE SUPPORTS UPHOLDING \u2018WHITE SUPREMACY\u2019<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

She also said, “His name being in the mix is not progress\u2014it\u2019s pathetic.”<\/p>\n

Donalds fired back: “FWIW, nobody asked @CoriBush her opinion on the matter. Before you judge my agenda, let’s have a debate over the policies and the outcomes. Until then, don’t be a crab in a barrel!”<\/p>\n

Bush\u2019s attack on Donalds, an underdog in the Republican race for the House speaker, comes as the congressman-elect received the second most votes among Republican candidates behind front-runner Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif.<\/p>\n

HOUSE SPEAKER RACE: REP-ELECT BYRON DONALDS RESPONDS TO ‘RETRIBUTION’ FOR RUNNING AGAINST KEVIN MCCARTHY<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The Florida Republican previously endorsed McCarthy and voted for him to gain the speakership twice but changed his approach after it seemed the Californian lacked the support to win.<\/p>\n

During a third vote on Tuesday, the first session of the 118th Congress, Donalds changed his vote from McCarthy<\/a> to Rep.-elect Jim Jordan, R-Ohio.<\/p>\n

Jordan was the recipient of most non-McCarthy votes that day.<\/p>\n

By Wednesday, the defectors changed their strategy again in putting Donalds name into the race for the speakership.<\/p>\n

THE VOTE FOR HOUSE SPEAKER<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

In the fourth, fifth, and sixth votes, Donalds’ support remained firm at 20 votes.<\/p>\n

McCarthy has vowed to continue speaking with the House Freedom Caucus, which has prevented the legislative body from electing a speaker.<\/p>\n

The group is asking for concessions and is optimistic that McCarthy will pull through. McCarthy has also expressed optimism that he is winning over members.<\/p>\n

“I crawl before I walk, I walk before I run,” McCarthy said after the House adjourned Wednesday. “I felt as though we had a very good discussion.”<\/p>\n

McCarthy needs most of their support to reach the 218-vote threshold.<\/p>\n

Until a speaker is elected, the House cannot hold swearing-in ceremonies, seat members on committees, perform legislative duties, or engage in other business.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
