Republicans Angered Over Elevation of Scott Perry

“Frustration is boiling over among rank-and-file House Republicans with leaders’ practice of trying to mollify critics by bestowing plum posts and other perks,” Politico reports.

“The latest example: Speaker Mike Johnson’s appointment of Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA) to the prestigious House Intelligence Committee. Given the former Freedom Caucus chair’s tendency to cross his own party leaders — not to mention his role in a federal investigation into efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election — his rise to the panel infuriated colleagues who see it as a sign that the party’s incentive structure is broken.”
