CBS ^ | April 9, 2024 | Grace Karzarian

Posted on 04/09/2024 8:16:14 PM PDT by Alter Kaker

McCarthy says he's not Speaker anymore because “one person a member of Congress wanted me to stop an ethics complaint because he slept with a 17 year old…”

Actually it was because he struck a deal with Nancy Pelosi.

You would have thought that he would know better then to trust someone who hung out with mass murders but...

McCarthy was willing to sell out the country at every chance.
Who’s he kidding.

The poster boy for the “Democrat lite” party speaks.

His wisdom is priceless. Now for his revenge. To get his fellow party members to resign and flip the Housr to the communists. If he can’t be in charge, the entire country can burn. He got his, he’s rich, so screw you.

His behavior proves the wisdom of removing him.

I wonder if the good people of California’s 20th congressional district learned anything from Kevin McCarthy’s duplicity.

I also wondered the same thing about Wisconsin’s congressional district 1 and Paul Ryan.

And Ohio’s congressional district 11 and John Boehner.

Do the Republican voters in those districts realize how corrupt McCarthy, Ryan and Boehner were? Would they vote for them again?

Because you’re a self-serving Rino.

McCarthy is apparently still living in homosexual Frank Luntz’s DC condo.

I guess I’ll have to reevaluate my past analysis.

I thought it was because he was a limp wristed, backstabbing RINO dirtbag.

MTG was one Kevin McCarthy’s biggest supporters and now is trying to oust Mike Johnson, I personally don’t care for either one I just find her support interesting

Gee, I thought it was because he was working with the democrats instead of the republicans.

It seems that the speakers are always compromised. Something very wacky going on with Johnson.

I don’t necessarily think Johnson is wacky, it’s typical of someone who before they are in charge boast of all the great things they would do if they became Speaker, now all of a sudden, Johnson is speaker and he realizes that managing the Republicans is like herding cats, it’s impossible, especially with a very small majority where 5-10 people can control the entire house.

Now the Republicans have normalized motions to vacate the chair and remove any Speaker they don’t like, this can all be done by a very small number of people.

What a crock.

The Dems legislate as Dems & liberals. They stick together.

RINOs legislate...as Dems & liberals. If RINOs face resistance, they bolt and threaten to turn the House over to the Dems.

The American public does NOT support Ukraine funding, but we’re gonna probably get it anyway.

Our Republican Party keeps funding every Obama. WEF agenda because they have no self control. Covering up these things is wrong.
James okeefe is infiltrating government power structures y posing as a gay man.
These amoral people are bribed and willingly go along. Fire them. All.

You basically confirmed what I said, if Johnson governs like RINO, he gets motions filed by MTG seeking his removal, if he governs like a Freedom Caucus member, he would get threatened with removal by the RINOs, it’s basically an impossible job.

Conversely, Nancy Pelosi despite her extreme liberal views got the Democrats inline and controlled them, remember AOC and the Squad got elected, they made all kinds of promises of change in leadership, as soon as they got to Washington, Pelosi got them inline, they can say whatever stupid things they want, so long as they vote how she tells them.
