At this point, Kevin’s wife won’t even let him speak in their house.

Q: How many Kevin McCarthies does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

A: Well, he needs a house first.

[RayBetterThanEvilCanival]

This is going to be so hilarious when McCarthy ultimately loses and will have to move all of his stuff back out of the speaker’s office 😂

Edit: well, it was good while it lasted

[pwilliam]

Heaven forbid they stay longer than 8 hours, we might have to pay them overtime. 😢

[HairynosedWombat]

After eleven votes you would think he got the message.

[WindFireAllThatKindOfThing]

Ya know, there's tenacity...
And then there's not realizing when to quit.

[anthonypanneton]

Wow. 8 whole hours they had to be in session. almost like they have a job. almost.

[seanmcdonald]

Anybody else laugh when he said it’s been a long 8 hour day?

[Leonaza]

McCarthy is underestimating the clowns he supported all these years. You hire clowns, guy get a circus.

[stephencoley]

8 hours is not a long day. It’s a normal shift for us pleabs. The fact that this appears as such to anyone highlights the differences of the two different realities we live in. “It was the best of times. It was the worst of times.”

[janiekcarney]

I’m sure Nancy is enjoying watching the Republicans make fools of themselves.

[lionelsteele]

Kevin McCarthy's trying to go 0-17 before any NFL team can do it!

[aries]

We're watching history in the making here, ladies and gentlemen! This level of fail is spectacular!

[StegoAqua]

Honestly I wonder what will break first, The US Government, Kevin McCarthy, or the Republican Party itself into two new parties, or all of the above

[EJWash]

Kevin is having flashbacks of having attended his high school prom alone. 🥺

[Helmuesi]

The circus can’t even choose its ringleader.

[mattmanley]

Absolutely loving every second 11 time loser how embarrassing

[shcheah]

This is like a hostage situation, except the perpetrators don’t seem to know what they want.

[carolnacovsky]

How many times are they going to do this before they pick someone else??

[keemboogie]

Remember Kevin all u need is to find 218 votes lol ….
