Many House Republicans 'Too Dimwitted' to Wield Power according to Wall Street Journal
| Known as one of the preeminent financial news publications in the United States, the newspaper is also owned by Rupert Murdoch's News Corp, the mass media outfit known for prominent conservative outlets like Fox News and the New York Post.
As such, the output of its editorial board is often seen as reflecting the feelings of high-level Republican donors and voting base members.
| "A narrow GOP majority of only 222-213 requires a leader who can enforce party discipline," the Journal's editorial board called out. "That's how Nancy Pelosi has been able to govern with the mirror-image majority in the last two years. Too many House Republicans are too dimwitted to understand the uses of power and how to wield it. They'd rather rage against the machine to no useful effect."
