Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) said Tuesday that he would not give Democrats anything in exchange for their votes to help save his Speakership, after Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) moved to force a vote on ousting him.
“They haven’t asked for anything. I’m not going to provide anything,” McCarthy said in an interview on CNBC’s “Squawk Box.”
I find it highly doubtful they will be able to fill the position at all. The only reason McCarthy has it is because he gave in to the Freedom Caucus’ demands and got himself into this very position (which many predicted would happen). It’s up to the GOP to lead their majority, and they can’t even agree who that is amongst themselves.
What a shit show. They put their own party against doing the business of the people.
I’m secretly hoping enough Republicans get so sick of the magas that they switch sides and make Jeffries Speaker. That would be the ultimate insult, both to the magas and the GOP as a whole. Alas, I can only dream.
You CAN dream…tis a silly dream, yet a dream worth entertaining.
This would be so funny.
