He’s owned by everyone. I’m surprised he can walk while bent over to this degree.

[karinaz]

Kevin got rolled. He has the title and none of the power.

[joedominguez]

Why would a weak man want to be controlled by all these sneaky people

[agame]

Never give power to an individual who tries so desperately to obtain it.

[איתןמנור]

An important lesson not just for politics but also for life.. don’t negotiate against yourself, know your worth

[DipityS]

I think we're missing the point. McCarthy's not just negotiating from a position of weakness, McCarthy's just weak. Also greedy and unprincipled - obviously.

[april]

KM doesn’t care to serve “the people, ” he serves himself. So his goal is accomplished. 👺

[Lee-ish]

One vote and he's out.
He'll last a month

[eric]

But yeah, he wants it too much, and he has already given away everything. WAIT - I expect him to be singing "Summertime" wearing nothing but a sign saying "I love beans" on the Capitol steps next week ... nothing else left.

[katienoneofyourbusiness]

Sold out to Marge green for a vote. Pathetic

[ifiknewthen]

Obviously, he was under water and now threading.... The next few months are going to be a carnival ride😱😔

[margaretjiantonio]

I wish they choose someone else. He's giving too many concessions.

[elizabethellis]

He got it but he ain’t gonna get to enjoy it. He’s gonna learn why they warn you to be careful what you wish for 💫

[tracewallace]

It will be a limited service as speaker.
Soon, he will face charges and be "speaker of the jail house" instead

[arlenehayles]

Greedy for position and looking weak😭. He will not last.

[vmcurry]

He allowed the crazies to bend him over. Mccarthy is out for what he is.

[stephendistaola]

Don't expect much from macarthy and the GOP expect nothing.

[sarahde-shong]

YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY 100% RIGHT JOE!!

[pauljasmine]

Not pointing out at all that the benefits, negotiated by the 20 holdouts, make our elected representatives more accountable.

[ericcampbell]

The world is never going to come to Kevin McCarthy.
