One can only speculate what he promised those former "Never Kevins/MAGA Morons" but it had to be something significant like human sacrifice involving Democratic lawmakers.
It didn't matter. McCarthy lost his 13th bid for the speakership anyway. The problem is not all of the "Never Kevins/MAGA Morons" took his bait.
They came to the House to set it on fire.
Not to work with the majority in their party who won the House.
In an attempt to flip the stubborn six, the Republican majority voted to adjourn.
Apparently, they plan on coming back this evening to take up a vote... again. And again. It's probably going to be a long night.
After all we're looking at a bat-shit crazy caucus whose mission is to dismantle democracy.
One thing is becoming increasingly obvious. If, and when, McCarthy becomes Speaker of the House of Representatives, he's going to be one of the weakest speakers in the House's history.
We'll see just how craven McCarthy's been in the next two years as an extremist agenda goes on a Revenge Tour with frivolous investigations.
I suspect McCarthy won't last for long with the new rules neutering the speaker's power and making him vulnerable to an in-house coup the moment he pisses off one of the crazies. But one never knows how low he will go to cling to the puppet speakership.
One half showed President Biden giving out medals of honor to the heroes of the 2021 insurrection who protected our democracy.
The other half showed the lawmakers who promoted the coup arguing about who's going to be the next House speaker while shuttering all functions of the House while they have their tantrums.
As it stands, it's been 200 years since we had a more dysfunctional incoming House leadership. This is ridiculous.
