One thing that cannot be denied, and excuses are like anal orifices, is McCarthy's failure to lead the GOP House to create a budget and deliver it to the Senate. Rather, he let it lag until the situation was extreme and we were facing a shutdown.
At that point McCarthy was afraid of the reaction to a shutdown and chose to violate his pledge of a 72 hour review time.Demonrats and RINO's, predictably, started with personal attacks.
Frankly, I stand with Sam Clemens: "Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to reform (or pause and reflect)."

Yep. Ever since the day they took over the House, the Republicans could have impeached Biden and his corrupt cronies. Symbolic you say? OK.
But they could have also cut off the funding.
No more persecution of Republicans or of Trump. No more pork for key Democrat constituencies.
They could have stopped Biden cold. McCarthy just chose not to.

Gaetz voted for 45-day funding extensions, two-year funding, CR’s, earmarks and the like in 2017-2018, and I’m checking to see if he also did in 2019-2020.
He claims he’s a fiscal conservative, but his previous actions prove otherwise.

"When acting speaker Patrick McHenry (R-N.C.) took the chair, he banged the gavel down with petulant force, signaling a distaste for the whole affair that he never manifested as millions of unvetted migrants entered the country, or as the national debt and inflation skyrocketed, or as the Biden regime weaponized the “justice” system to persecute its political enemies. McHenry made it clear: what angered him was not any of that, but the removal of his friend McCarthy." The following short youtube clip shows that angry, petulant gavel banging, followed by a very short interview with a RINO, Rep. Mike Lawler, where he said he shares McHenry's anger, and makes it clear that most of their anger is directed mainly toward one person -- Matt Gaetz. He further said in this clip that if he had the gavel, he would have aimed it so it would violently strike Gaetz right between his eyes.
I think the most interesting thing about this youtube clip is the comments on youtube under the clip, where it appears that the vast majority completely disagreed with the RINO, and essentially told him that the voters want them to tell the truth, and keep their promises, (unlike McCarthy, who told lie after lie, and kept no promises he made).
Here's the link for that short clip:
