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.”

Quite breathtaking in its scope. He has finally slithered out from his protective cover and informed the world what he really is. He prefers the gayness of the democrat party.
FU McCarthy. And don’t come back punk. If the RATS look like Americans to you, you may want to get your eyes checked before you go looking for a new job.
We’re running an Ethiopian for the George Santos seat. What could be more American?
And once again, we have a supposed Republican, who was really a democrat, exposing who he really is when he leaves. The Republican Party is full of McCarthys and we continue to reelect them. Fortunately, we got rid of ours in Wyoming when we got rid of Cheney. We need to work on our two Rino senators now.
Good riddance to this RINO POS.
Always knew he was a RINO uniparty hack.
Proves Gaetz was right.
Good riddance.
Aw, save yer grievances fer Festivus.
So many snakes.
I always thought he was a RINO.
I was wrong.
He’s a full-fledged leftwing communist.
Benedict McCarthy.
Wake up!
McCarthy is everything a Real Republican is, and should be.
Delusional. Repubs were voting their conscious when it took them what? Fifteen votes to get him in, based on his promises....when he didn’t deliver...he was ousted. Every dem voted against his confirmation, and for his ousting...and none for Johnson....and he says the Democrats are heterogenous What a dufus, classless dope. Just hope his district doesn’t go dem...get a non RINO repub in there...or some firebrand independent. I hope McCarthy retires in his restrictive neighborhood. No more democrats in congress till the current dem party is destroyed and all architects of “woke” are no longer able to seed their societal poison.
Right, maybe in your world.
Just a hunch...Trump has more than a few moles in the federal government and the armed forces...they are probably informing him of the Dems and woke militaries mostly unlawful attacks. I am hoping he has the dirt on the Clintons and their henchpeople and their treasonous behaviour.
Angling for media job
Remember the jackasses here who scorched Gaetz
REMEMBER THEIR EFFING NAMES!
I hope McCarthy gets mugged by some of those diverse Californians when he returns home.
I guess Mitt Romney finally has somebody else in DC to hang out with.
I felt he was a lying, no good, traitorous SOB right from the start.
He’s from a blue state, groomed to be subversive and did a damn good job of it.
Good riddance to some very nasty rubbish.
Unfortunately it will also show the future portends more POCs / foreigners / squad-types.
