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.’”
With the misericorde...
Dumb to take Pelosi’s word, but McCarthy also had to win Republican votes at the beginning of each session, so it’s not like he wasn’t responsible to the GOP.
OK, I’ve haven’t laughed that hard at a “Hitler Gets...” video in a long time.
Pelosi told him to let them have it because she’d back him up.
= = =
Pelosi was talking to her shiv, and Kevin thought she was talking to him.
Basically he felt he didn’t need republican support because he thought he had democrat support. And yet some here tell us we should feel bad about his being booted because this guy who did nothing to help us and we now know that behind the scenes he was in the pocket of the dems yet he was somehow on our side because he said so in front of some cameras.
Exactly.
If he did make the deal with the devil he deserves what he got. The problem with republicans is they always make bad deals with democrats. The rats never return the favor.
sounds like a love song
And he believed her?!
What a idiot
PROOF of how AWFUL KEVIN WAS!!!
He gave the Freedon Caucus NOTHING!!! He was working with the DEMOCRATS!!
Nancy did a LUCY on Charlie Kevin! HA! What a DUMBASS to believe Pelosi!
Don’t care about the reason....it was a GREAT MOVE!
Dead Eye Pence is just another SWAMP PIMP!
AMEN!! 8 out of 200 plus!! 8 is a PATHETIC NUMBER for our side......PATHETIC!
Not disputing that it was a great move. However, it is troubling that it took this long, and that they had a deal with Pelosi. This is Pelosi who is really bad for America, really bad for conservatives, very corrupt, and to top it off, she was extremely disrespectful and militant against Pres. Trump. They had a sweetheart deal with her!!
He’s the frog. Pelosi is the scorpion. His speakership was the river.
Not a bright guy to believe Pelosi on anything.

another piece of the puzzle
Its no secret that Kevin isn’t a rocket scientist but getting played by Nan is really stupid. 😉
Kevin is the lesser of two weasels. 😏
