McCarthy: Pelosi told him “‘I’ll always back you up’”
In McCarthy’s press conference, after being removed as Speaker of the House, he relates how, when the vote to determine Speaker earlier this year was happening, Nancy Pelosi told him “in this room” to “just give it to them” referring to the Motion to Vacate, which allows just one member to call for the Speaker to vacate, “one person can rule you out” as McCarthy put it, with Pelosi saying “‘I’ll always back you up’” according to McCarthy quoting here in this press conference.

McCarthy himself thus describes how the agreement, regarding Motion to Vacate rules, made to vote him in as Speaker was never taken seriously by him and that he believed this check on the Speaker by the Republican Representatives would be ineffectual due to his prior conversation with Pelosi.
He never felt constrained and believed he did not have to be beholding to the Republicans because told him “‘I’ll always back you up.’”
Wow. That is why we are where we are folks..... in a nutshell.
This explains why Pelosi was told to be out of her hallway office in the Capitol by tomorrow. Could not happen to a nicer set of weasels.
“ I understood that the deal was a return to regular order and no more continuing resolutions. He failed, what did he expect?”
Yes.
The point being this shows he had no intention of keeping the deal.
He agreed thinking Pelosi would not let him be booted.
When he told this story today I think he didn’t realize he was exposing his duplicity against the Republicans as much as Pelosi’s against him.
Good observation on your parts.
Thanks.
Or he was the Gingerbread Man and Pelosi the Fox! 🦊
Pelosi and McCarthy both represent the same constituency - Silicon Valley, despite neither technically representing it.
.
Exactly.
Pelosi loses office because she lied to McCarthy. Now, things add up.
.
Ha.
That’s why.
Rinos are passed at her for breaking her uniparty pledge.

All Support McCarthy
Us conservatives who don't want tax/borrow and spend all our grandchildren's wealth, have ONLY 8 REPUBLICANS in the House.
Only 8 strong enough to stand. I believe there are more. Just not as convicted.
He never negotiated in good faith with the Freedom Caucus. He’s a fraud and liar from the start. Most could see that. I’m also angry that Trump shoved him down our throats.
pelosi delivered. But McCarthy wasn’t smart enough to know HE was the target.
