LOL He is squatting in the speakers office?!

[NWFree]

McTurd thinks he owns the place

[nickcarraway]

The architect? Wasn’t he done when the building was finished?

[bicyclerepair]

FL is no longer a swing statw!!!!!
Red baby.
Gaetz Rocks! Saw him at the 2018 Snipes protest.
He showed up with pallets of copy paper representing the “found votes”.

Ok...

I think its insane he’s moved in not yet winning the office. He may very well win.

But cmon, as of yet, he is not the Speaker. Not his office or anyone else’s right now.

This is wrong. Its not a mere technicality.

We’d be p1ssed to the moon if a democrat did this and hadn’t been formally elected Speaker.

And he’s showing why he shouldn’t be Speaker.

[Secret Agent Man]

I mean by this logic, the democrat getting 212 votes could move in because technically at this point, hes got more votes than Kevin does.

[AmericanInTokyo]

He should never have done this. I hate arrogance like this until all the votes are in. It’s becoming all too often in American politics. Roger Stone (on tape) expressed it the best . UJust say you won.

questioning why House Speaker candidate Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) was already inhabiting the Speaker’s office

In the House and Senate, tenure, promotion, and position are often more important than representing constituents. It's been that way for decades. This is one good argument for term limits.

[TexasGunLover]

You assume there is some real chance he doesn’t win. The reality is it was, and always has been settled. The rest is just kabuki theater to make it look like there was another outcome possible.

[LibertyWoman]

You know something? McCarthy is too anxious to get the Speakership. I gave him the benefit of the doubt at first but this just shows he wants this job too much. What has he promised to the swamp?

[Zack Attack]

It’s a coup. He feels 100% entitled.

[Pollard]

[vivenne]

He gave them the Omnibus Bill.

[Tupelo]

“What has he promised to the swamp?”

My guess is, he did not have to promise much of anything.
After all Kevin McCarthy IS the Swamp.

[Erik Latranyi]

After all Kevin McCarthy IS the Swamp.

Yes, and we have to fight Trump, Crenshaw, MTG, Hannity and Shapiro to stop McCarthy from getting the job.

[jacknhoo]

Good point.

[gov_bean_ counter]

Great take. These questions crossed my mind as well.

[cnsmom]

Seems to be a growing trend the growingDC homeless encampment on the Kennedy Center grounds is looking like LA. DC is festering a huge problem in the heart of the tourist zone.

Pallets of paper? Nice trolling, the old fashioned way.
