McCarthy got up in front of the room, said he’s not right person to lead the conference & quit. Boehner then said the election is postponed

Good riddance to this useless loser. Let’s hope he leaves Congress so an actual conservative may take his place.

The guy is not a fighter. I did not like how he responded to his mistake. He should have come out fighting like a Trump would have. But he wilted.

North Carolina Rep. Walter Jones (R) sent a letter to the No. 4 House Republican saying any candidate for leadership who has committed any “misdeeds” since joining Congress should “withdraw” from the contest.
Jones, a 20-year veteran of Washington, is referring to marital infidelity, and made reference to former Rep. Bob Livingston (R-La.), who stepped down due to an affair before he was slated to become speaker, and Newt Gingrich.
“With all the voter distrust of Washington felt around the country, I am asking that any candidate for Speaker of the House, majority leader, and majority whip withdraw himself from the leadership election if there are any misdeeds he has committed since joining Congress that will embarrass himself, the Republican Conference and the House of Representatives if they become public,” Jones wrote in a letter to Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-Wash.).
Ed’s comment at the bottom of the article:
Jones told Politico that he wasn’t referring to anyone specific, just broadly reminding the contenders for Speaker not to embarrass the caucus with scandal, but that’s a weird statement to issue if there’s not something particular on your mind.
