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.”

Thank God and Greyhound, he’s gone.

What you said
He has decided to continue his service in different ways. That reminds of the old joke about the farm boy who went with his father to take a cow to a neighboring farm to be “serviced” . After that, whenever the boy heard the word “service,” he wondered who was getting screwed .
What a sore loser, with the emphasis on “loser.”
He’s a WEF Queefer and a commie loving traitor!!! He should be in jail! Probably has a picture of Klaus Schwab over his bed at night!
The Legislature is “whiter” than all of America…and you have been forever.
You also are less likely to be a tradesman, work construction, or be anything other than a white collar worker than the average American.
In short, this is the quintessential member of the Legislature.
McCarthy is a race baiting RINO.
‘Eff ‘em.
McCarthy’s just a calculating political whore to the bitter end.
That speech was a resume for for his post Congressional career and it kind of telegraphs which street corner he is gonna be staking out trolling for tricks
Where is your list of the people Trump can trust?
Showing his true colors, DemocRat blue.
Just as we thought...a Dem undercover
We have seen this act from “conservative” politicians in many countries.
After they get turfed, they denounce their own voters using leftist arguments.
