Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy delivered his farewell address on the House floor, commending Democrats for their embodiment of America’s diversity while censuring his own party. Once holding the Speaker’s gavel, McCarthy saw his tenure end abruptly in October after a historic ousting due to his failed leadership.
Earlier this month, McCarthy announced that he is retiring from Congress at the end of the year.
“I have decided to depart the House at the end of this year to serve America in new ways. I know my work is only getting started,” McCarthy wrote in a Wall Street Journal.
“I will continue to recruit our country’s best and brightest to run for elected office. The Republican Party is expanding every day, and I am committed to lending my experience to support the next generation of leaders.”
The California Republican was ousted in a 216-210 vote, initiated by a motion from Rep. Matt Gaetz. This humiliating end to his speakership made McCarthy the “shortest serving speaker since 1876,” and as noted by The Guardian, “the first speaker of the House forced out of the job in U.S. history.”
In his farewell address, McCarthy contrasted the diversity of the Democrats with the homogeneity of the Republicans when he became minority leader. He noted that the Democrats resembled America’s diverse fabric, while the Republicans seemed like a “restrictive country club.”
“I had got elected minority leader while another colleague from my state, Nancy Pelosi, got elected speaker. I watched the Democrats stand up, and they were very diverse. They looked like America. I watched us stand up. We had lost the majority.”

No wonder it took what some 15 attempts to be voted in as speaker. The other republicans knew what he was.
I think this vindicates Gaetz, he made the right call
“The guy was a self hating anti-White traitor since the start.”
This. Praising the gang that dumped him. Everyone points at the few Republicans that voted against him, conveniently forgetting every Democrat voted for it. Good riddance to bad rubbish.
Yup. That’s him.
MAGA is America! Every race and creed is represented in this movement that is solely the work of the base, and the old guard aristocracy can’t stand it. McCarthy should have gone to some of Trump’s rallies, or talked to the blacks and Latinos who are expressing their disdain for the rats and the rinos that got our country into the mess we’re in. You’re part of the problem, McCarthy! Hit the road and drive off a cliff.
Bingo! The reality of the Biden White House is that it and Dem leadership doesn’t represent the diversity of middle America.
It represents the non diversity of affluent leftist NY elites and oligarchs that want the little people and sheep contained, defenseless and poor in a land of crime.
Deep State scumbag will now grift as a lobbyist for Deep State interests.
Well what do you know, spit.
