These guys are destroying themselves 😅

[spacelemur]

McCarthy is one of those guys whose practiced sincere tone fools no-one, but his team has to pretend that he is a wise sage.

If the Republicans want to put the final nail in there coffin, make Kevin your speaker.

John Boehner is laughing his ass off over Kevin.. Grasping for the Poisoned Chalice

[T.Z.MN]

He lost respect when he said the seditious insurrection was Un American and was against it until he came back from Florida with his tail tucked between his legs and was "corrected" by his master.

I don't trust anybody who strives for power as does Kevin McCarthy.

[mercedeshaecker]

How is it that McCarthy thinks he even deserves to be speaker of the house?

[marcuskuhnert]

Every GOP member is a clown these days

[MySpace]

McCarthy will bring the house down with laughter.

Trump condemned Fuentes four times? I thought that he didn't even know who Nick Fuentes was.

The more tension and chaos is their motto!!! Let's see where they land!!

[johndanenberg]

It's all about who holds the power not the average citizen interests and well-being.

I hope the real and normal Republicans will not vote for McCarthy to be the Speaker of the House.

*Kevin's the only one who ran faster (down to mar-a-crime) than nunes and hawley to drop their pants for orange man!*

[ehbcd]

If McCarthy doesn't get it I don't see anyone else getting 218 votes, surely there are at least 5 sensible republicans that won't let the extremists have it.

[ChrisAlbertH]

It would be amusing to see what would happen if Kev can't get the votes needed for the Speaker position.

[janiekcarney]

Surely there’s someone better this. McCarthy. He’s power hungry and dangerous.

[sailor]

Suffer McCarthy 😁 This is gonna be fun to watch 🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿

[vogparis]

Someone should remind Kevin of the old saying that, "You can't just lower your pants a little bit."

McCarthy is a joke of a man, I’m looking forward to SNL’s take on this joke of a man. 🇺🇸
