This episode of the Lieb Cast evaluates the appointment of Patrick McHenry as Speaker Pro Tempore of the House and its potential impact on empowering more independent voices in Congress. The Cast discusses a vitriolic tweet labeling a politician a "literal communist" and examines the definition of harmful speech. They also debate the role of political caucuses, protecting members who vote independently, and how loosening restrictions could encourage bipartisan dealmaking and legislation.
