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.”

ESAD, McCarthy. Good riddance.
He will not be missed.
McCarthy is a liar who betrayed America every chance he got.
Good riddance.
Nothing to do with race and all to do with ideology.
Opus?
Bye bye looser….. go back to your blue state.
Whata jackass. The first guy to open his country club to blacks and Jews was Donald J. Trump.
Maybe you shoulda supported him during the coup/steal of 2020.
I bet he is going to Ukraine soon to get a briefcase.
Go join Paul Rino’s law firm, Kev.
Self hating white

“He noted that the Democrats resembled America’s diverse fabric, while the Republicans seemed like a “restrictive country club.””
Rotten SOB. I always knew he was a dem.
Aw, I missed McCarthy’s last speech? That’s a shame. Now I won’t have any more to miss.
So the antisemitic Dems are the USA’s true face, Kev? How vile you are.
Thank you Gaetz. You exposed this treasonous cuck. He just confessed to being the rat we thought he was.
Wow. Republicans put this jackass in charge?
Where are all the GOPe clowns that were/are after Matt Gaetz for challenging that RINO turd in the first place? Remember them...
