Continued thread

The #FarRight *lawmakers* won their seats on the #RulesCommittee as part of a deal made by fmr speaker #KevinMcCarthy, who haggled w/ #ultraconservatives opposing his leadership & only agreed to back him after he gave them critical leverage. They refused to support the measure to bring up the #aid package bc it wouldn’t allow a vote on #extremism #border security they prioritize over #Ukraine.

The #Republicans’ rebellion left #Democrats to bail out #MikeJohnson, so they can get something done.

👀
The #kevinmccarthy revenge tour seems to be in full swing.

McCarthy did give himself an out by saying that he didn’t know if Matt Gaetz had sex with a 17 year old girl, but he knew that Gaetz wanted him to get rid of the ethics investigation into whether or not #Gaetz had #sex with a 17 year old girl, and that is why he was #ousted.

#Speaker #MikeJohnson never called me,” Buck said. “[#KevinMcCarthy] would have yelled…&… #Boehner would have broken my arm.…”

The…defeat stunned many in the #House #GOP …, who were incredulous Johnson would roll the dice on such a consequential vote. It was the latest in a tenure marred by #chaos & frustration, w/members losing patience w/an inexperienced leader who…has made serious tactical missteps overseeing an unwieldy conference that even #Republicans admit may be impossible to corral.

I mean, far be it from me to actually agree with #KevinMcCarthy about pretty much anything, but he's right: the Freedom Caucus prevents the #HouseGOP from governing, largely because they don't have an interest in governing, or in effective government.

85) Good piece featuring #KevinMcCarthy from the folks at #CBSSundayMorning.

Make sure you watch to the end where the former speaker is called out for kissing #DonaldTrump’s ring at Mar-A-Lago only weeks after condemning Trump for fomenting the attempted #Jan6 coup

Reporter Robert Costa does not pull any punches when he accuses McCarthy of ignoring #Trump’s incipient #Fascism and thirst for retribution. There is no core to McCarthy, just an empty suit
