It’s probably both- the office has historically gone to the previous speaker, which is now McCarthy.
Plus Nanzi didn’t help him out. They couldn’t spare a FEW votes from safe D districts?
Everything about this was politics, which McCarthy could have avoided by KEEPIN HIS WORD.
He was not ousted because he was “brave enough to do ‘the right thing’” [by which he means compromise with democrats]
He was ousted for not keeping his word.
And just WHY are the J6 tapes being withheld???
THIS is why you think McCarthy should have been removed??? Silly me, I thought we were worried about getting Biden out of office and passing good POLICY, not watching video tapes. Sheesh, the priorities of some people around here are totally out of whack.
