Congressman Steve Scalise, who is undermining Jim Jordan for House Speaker, took money from Sam Bankman-Friedโs illegal FTX campaign finance operation, as did 13 of the 22 RINO holdouts.
According to Breitbart, Steve Scalise (R-LA) is the driving force behind the twenty-two RINOs who have prevented Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) from clenching the House Speakership after two rounds of votes.ย Trump-endorsed Jordan is the clear choice of grassroots conservatives. A top House GOP aideย reported, โ[Constituents] are literally melting the phone lines. Some officesโ numbers are permanently busy. Thousands and thousands of people are calling their members of Congress demanding Jordan for Speaker.โ
But several sources are claiming Steve Scalise is orchestrating the holdout that is preventing Jordan from clenching the speakership, including Debbie Dooley, a grassroots activist and Louisiana native:

I am hearing from very reliable sources that @SteveScaliseGOP @SteveScalise is doing his favorite thing to do – back stabbing. Not the first time either. I know what went on a few weeks ago, Rep. Scalise..
Scalise advocated a few weeks ago that cuts to Social Security and Medicare cuts would be on the table for debt reduction. Can you say ads throwing Grandma off the cliff in 2024 ? My family lives in his district…
Scalise is pretending to support Jim Jordan but is organizing the ones that refuse to vote for Jordan. He voted for Jordan, but is encouraging others not to behind the scene.
He is what is wrong with D.C. Swamp..
Burn his phone lines up telling him to stop undermining Jordan .

Why would Scalise want to undermine the clear choice of the people and President Trump? Evidence unearthed by grassroots researchers in Scaliseโs home state of Louisiana indicates that Scalise is has taken money from the FTX money laundering scandal.
The Former co-CEO of FTX, Ryan Salame,ย pled guilty early last monthย to โConspiracy to Make Unlawful Political Contributions and Defraud the Federal Election Commission and Conspiracy to Operate an Unlicensed Money Transmitting Business.โย Salameย admittedย that his job at FTX was to illegally funnel money to Republican politicians and political causes, while his co-conspirator, Sam Bankman-Fried, funneled money to Democrats. According to Salame, the donations were to support initiatives supported by Bankman-Fried. Bankman-Friedโs dearest initiative appears to be Joe Biden himself, as he made the second-largest single donation to his 2020 presidential campaign.
Another initiative of Bankman-Fried was Steve Scalise, the man currently preventing Jim Jordan from becoming speaker. Bankman-Friedโs straw donor and co-CEO, Salame, donated $2,900 to Scalise a month before the 2022 Midterms ($2,900 is the maximum donation allowed by an individual):
