How do you feel about a politician expressing indifference towards crucial political positions like the House Speaker?

What impact do you think personal attacks and sharp retorts among politicians have on public perception of political discourse?
@9LZZZ9L2wks2W
I think it’s stupid and unprofessional to take childish personal attacks on an opponent in public speaking

Lauren Boebert's blasé attitude towards the Speaker of the House debate is a stark reminder of how disconnected some politicians are from the impacts of these leadership roles on real people's lives.

Boebert's take on the House Speaker debate really underscores the need for a shake-up in Washington's business-as-usual attitude. It's refreshing to see someone not get bogged down by party politics and focus instead on principles, showing that the real issue isn't who holds the gavel but how they wield it.
