At least they had to work for it.
“ Lauren Boebert of Colorado and Matt Gaetz of Florida, who had previously voted against McCarthy in the first 13 rounds, voted present during the 14th vote.”
Now hold McCarthy to what he agreed to.
After hearing Jeffries’ horrendous speech, I’d say what the heck, give Kevin a chance. The worst GOPer is better than these divisive, self-righteous lying socialist pukes.
/ Lesser of Two Weevils.
It’ll be like this never happened.
A series of late night calls from POTUS 45 was probably the only thing that could have convinced Gaetz et al. to vote Present.
Boebert - what a phony.
Which proves they don’t have a shred of conservatism in them.
Nothing short of a Convention of States will bring about any meaningful reforms. That will take another generation or two. Embrace the Suck.

Shut the hell up Kevin!
You have RUINED the Republican Party and you have made a career out of letting us all down by stabbing us in the back.
Can't believe we are stuck with this criminal as Speaker of the House.
I am so done with this feckless party.

I hope one thing is clear after this week: I will never give up. And I will never give up for you, the American people.
I would have liked to see them remain in session all weekend before lowering the threshold to 216.
Convention of states? Do you think there would be more people that would vote in the right way than the wrong way?
So, are we all supposed to be jumping up and down for joy now?
If they only knew how ugly this govt has become for ‘we the people’.
Mitch McConnell, Kevin McCarthy and Ronna Romney McDaniel.
Meet the new bosses. Same as the old bosses.
But you still end up with evil weevils. Welcome to the new boss...the same as the old boss. The guy who was captured on tape talking to Liz Cheney, telling her that he would urge Trump to resign after January 6th, is now the best hope of the slim majority in the Republican Congress? My ass.
We all knew McCarthy would be the inevitable winner, but it still amazes me how far down our govt has sunk, even just in my lifetime.
The holdouts were holdouts for differing political reasons and never had even a shred of a plan to get anyone else in the chair. So, maybe I’m cynical but it seems to me this was all about grabbing a political spotlight instead of a real effort, and therefore a waste of a few precious days.
