Kevin McCarthy has been sensationally ousted as Speaker of the House in a historic vote sparked by a tumultuous civil war in the Republican party. A motion to vacate the speaker's chair was adopted 216 to 210, with eight Republicans joining Democrats to boot the House leader. McCarthy, R-Calif., became the first Speaker in the 234-year history of the United States Congress to be kicked out and have his gavel taken away by fellow lawmakers. McCarthy ally Rep. Patrick McHenry, chair of the Financial Services Committee, has been named as the interim Speaker, but now the GOP will launch a marathon bid to pick a successor while in turmoil. The House is now in recess while Republicans decide on their next move to elect a leader.

Some truth that the BoomerCons don’t want to hear.
Basically it was, "I dare you to pull that trigger, you don't have the stones to pull it. You coward..."
BLAM!!
It’s true that a lot of former “Scoop Jackson Democrats” became Republicans in the 80s.
One response only to this momentous and highly-charged event???
Right, its why EVERY democrat voted against McCarthy. Idiocy
All 208 Democrats in attendance voted against McCarthy. Not a single Democrat voted in favor of keeping him as House speaker
LOL- thanks for the laugh!
MY MISTAKE! I should’ve refreshed it , now there are 50+ -—newest development may be that it looks like McCarthy has washed his hands of “running for Speaker again”
Well done ma’am

Evidently, RINO’s are a dime a dozen, and they believe like Mitch and Lindsey - they’ll get someone else that wants to get Rich and be loved on by the Media.
Sure, now we will get a true, strong conservative speaker.
"I agree. I didn't think Speaker McCarthy had the backbone to stand up to the MAGA extremists, but he did today," Mr. Goldman said.
Thanks for remaining the ever-true-to-form, daft prognosticator, Dan!
The votes that ultimately booted McCarthy for cause had been patiently waiting for many months. Offsetting the many pledges that allowed McCarthy so much of his original support, unaccountability, deception and backstabbing had long been forming up as the main characteristics of McCarthy's RINO//DS/Democrat-friendly reign.
EXCELLENT! McCarthy is a RINO’s RINO.
The RINO Establishment just learned that MAGA can and will fight back.
Votes that booted McCarthy was 208 Democrats and 8 Republicans.
Neocon zeepers hate this. Z isn’t going to get any more money. FU zeepers.
How is it that far left nancy pelosi was able to deliver, for the far left, far left victories with a slim majority?
Yet paid social media influencers here at FR claim McCarthys failures were due to having a slim majority? And therfore his failures are actually commendable.
What say RinoInc?
Yes, or Clay Higgins, Wesley Hunt, Byron Donalds, Chip Roy, or Brian Mast.
They’re very coherent when it comes to the multiple unlawful spying operations, 950 charges, J6ers and the rampant collusion/conspiring.
Reality is if the entirety of GOP spoke up, third worldism would’ve been stunted.
I meant the GOP isn’t a coherent party.
