What did McCarthy think people would forget about his part in Jan 6 ?

Constituents need to contact their Congress from their district and request another nomination from the GOP. Never should McCarthy be that close to the presidency.

[sofly]

He's being nicely told to move over

[haroldharris]

If I were one of the guys voting against him, I would never give in and vote for him, because then he would have ultimate power over me to get even.

This is a day the GOP has made. Let's rejoice and be glad in it. Besides an invertebrate shouldn't be speaker. The American public deserves much more.

[philsmycrevice]

The nomination in perpetuity should be a shining example of what a sham this process is. It's all about making deals & self enrichment.

Liz right now "I told you so"😂😂😂😂😂😂

If he really care about the representation of the country. He would step aside and take himself out of the race to see who the Republican party will agree on. After six times it’s obvious they don’t want him or trust him. At this point it’s just becoming embarrassing.

Thank you Chip Roy for doing what I voted you in for!!!! McCarthy needs to go!!

[kristenthomas]

The irony of the one representative saying “Trump needs to tell McCarthy he doesn’t have the vote and needs to pull out”
Sorry, you want who to say what 🫠🙂😭

[TylerDurden-rhhu]

Politicians are the worse kind of people.

[Grieche-iy]

Repeating the same process expecting a different outcome is the definition of insanity.

[katcardenascruz]

my british friend asked me "why is your house of representatives acting like our house of commons" I almost spit out my coffee 🥲💀

[LS-uupv]

He sold his soul and refuses to walk away empty handed. WANT ALL LOSE ALL

[Tym]

When CNN, MSNBC rooting for Mccarthy then you know he's a Democrat. We want a new speaker or no speaker whatever yall like

[MrSteven]

Get ready this is going to be the next two years!! Good luck

[mkrey]

That reminds me, I need to head to the grocery store to buy more popcorn today.

[MyLibertyTV]

It's not these 20 patriots who need to budge, it's the other 200 who need to budge!

[internetstrangerstrangerofweb]

The longest it took for this country to elect a speaker was 2 months. Place your bets folks, can McCarthy go down as America’s worst loser!? Find out in 1 month!!

[Eastendsunset]

McCarthy should resign altogether - what a sh... show!
