Not a McCarthy fan, but is this my country? Reaching out to all parties to avoid a government shutdown is something the Republican party considers so terrible you can lose your position

[strattonskier]

Hope this is taken as an insult to the entire GOP, not that they really care.

Kevin sold his soul for the speakership only to be ousted in less than a year 😂

[pawcrawlowens]

our government needs to be replaced by working class

[rsbkey]

This is what happens when you let criminals run the GOP party and take no responsibility in holding any of them accountable. Kevin, you pretty much asked for it.

[Timithydwolf]

Does this stop that stupid "impeachment inquiry" because as comedic it was to watch the Republicans fail at that I'm sure it's a complete waste of resources.

[kaybirdstexas]

Now the house is just tied up with this ignorance....

[-LNGWolf]

Dont get angry .... jus vote them out

[andrewbos]

The GOP has become like neighbors that get drunk and brawl in the street! GET IT TOGETHER! We don’t need ti see this !

[sheilagrant]

These fools are wasting our tax dollars

[cool]

What is going on? This is why they can never get anything done.

[maxfieldstanton]

Two days! THIS HAPPENED IN TWO DAYS!! Nothing moves that fast in Congress!

[sjwilson]

The GOP ladies and gentlemen. This is who they are

[larryborsa]

So 15 votes to make him speaker and just one to get rid of him?

[glaefke]

It's embarrassing we have to live through this circus. The GOP makes me embarrassed to be an American.

[hawausoro]

How sadly messed up are the Republicans😢

[NegritocitoCat]

They did it for all the wrong reasons, but I'm glad they did it. On January 16th voted to overthrow the democracy. He let Trump do whatever he wanted to do whenever he wanted to do it.

[Anatomy]

This just shows that Nancy Pelosi was just a different beast. She ran circles on the Republicans and not even break a sweat.

[ChrisCardenDrums]

Anyone watching this from outside the US-please understand how easy it is to get into the house of representatives as long as you're from a poorly educated area. These people are a disgrace, and I give the democrats credit for not helping Mr Mccarthy keep the position. This is the shitstorm that Republicans have caused, and now they're going to have to deal with the consequences

[davidgsebastian]

Backstabbing each other on an international stage level, the amazing MAGA GOP.
