It is chaos and it is hurting the country. For when something like this happens, the powers of the current speaker pro tem are very limited. They are about electing a new speaker.

And I've said this from the moment this happened. This chaos and dysfunction on the right is going to hurt this country. We need to move forward. (00:52–01:03)
