He wouldn't even give the Democrats what he had already agreed to give them.
Matt Gaetz is the one who brought chaos. The "Freedom Caucus" that wants nothing other than cruelty and authoritarianism. And Kevin McCarthy himself, for letting himself be taken advantage of by them.
If you're a Republican who wants to see an end to chaos, it's trivially easy to vote for Hakeem Jeffries.
And he's the one who agreed to the whole "one person can oust me" thing in the first place.
Not our circus, not our monkeys, Congressman - should've kept your clowns in order.
Yeah, but then they won't get reelected because without their fanatic, authoritarian base, Dems always win.
Don't threaten me with a good time.
Seems like so far dems were winning anyway, because of the trump fanaticism. Even the house they got only because of heavy gerrymandering.
Conservatives only say that shit because they mistakenly think we take them seriously, and because conservatives think it is fun to lie.
You forgot that he insulted the Democrats right before the vote and was surprised that he lost the vote. From what I heard on NPR there was a chance the Democrats might go along with it. After reneging on the budget the sham impeachment and the insults I think the Democrats threw up their hands this is your mess we are done propping you up.
Um no...I didn't forget any of the BS McCarthy pulled. I posted the link because prior to the vote he said he didn't need the help of Democrats as he is now blaming Democrats for the shit he caused.
What a freeloader, Mccarthy wants something for doing nothing? He should pull himself up by his bootstraps and stop depending on handouts.
You can't ask for a reach around when you're not even willing to take your clothes off.
Already gaslighting, I see.
The Democrats didn't save him because he didn't keep his word, and he wouldn't stop attacking them despite being his only lifeline.
He is an idiot and a liar who has no business being speaker.
Let's be clear about one thing, his own party voted him out.
The Dems didn't save him because he didn't even have the courtesy to ask them for help.
Does this moron have any clue how idiotic he sounds?
Yes, but he also knows the base is full of gullible rubes who will unquestioningly eat this slop up.
It's similar to the aliens in Mars Attacks! claiming to come in peace.
EDIT: Or, as I think about it more, like some spouse beater excusing their actions. "YOU made me do this!"
Kevin calls his Mommy every night and tells her how mean the Dems are
Mother, today I called AOC a communist whore and then she refused to go on a date with me. Tell her she has to!

lol just absurd
This would be glorious if it weren't for the fact that this is my life.
I like to think that the Democrats voted McCarthy out partially because they knew what a shitstorm it would cause.
Hell, maybe that’s been openly stated, and I just don’t know because I haven’t been following it closely enough.
If your partner abuses you do not stay in that relationship, run. And if they are running for speaker of the house then definitely don't vote for them!
My favorite thing here is that in the thumbnail it looks like that guy in the background is blowing into a giant iphone.

Your opinion is interesting. I slightly agree with you here. In general, if I don’t agree with something, then I ask https://studyhelper.com/argumentative-essay-samples to help me. It’s easier for me, because to be honest I’m a little lazy in this regard. I don’t know what to do with this, I can’t bring myself to do it.
