He gave away his honor and self-respect — if he had any to lose…

[wolfman]

He gave up everything for a title and a $30k pay raise. That's the value he placed on his dignity, and how pathetic is that.

They just learned how to govern in four days? Wow. What does that say about what they've been doing until now?

[tonybrown]

All Kevin wanted was to say he was speaker once.

[owwells]

Matt Gaetz and Majorie Green behind the scenes calling the shots is disturbing

[phillkirk]

"Now We Learned How to Govern", Kevin Mccarthy admitted on National TV.
That's telling enough and I hope American people are paying attention.

[docbeats]

Okay I didn't know that the way to govern was to give up all your power.

"Now we've learned how to govern, " says the man who's been in Congress 16 years and yet he just now learned his job.

[KesselRunner]

His honour
His integrity
His self respect
His reputation
His balls
His a##

[catcowboy]

Just remember one of the main conditions that the freedom caucus wanted for him to be speaker of the House was to enact term limits for all of Congress. McCarthy refused and I hope both parties can agree that all of Congress needs term limits!

[pdoylemi]

"Now we've learned how to govern" - give the crazy people everything they demand.

[timdoggy]

He gave away his manhood
Doesn't matter though, he never used it anyway

[Arational]

Everything including his dignity and his balls.

[jeanhoward]

The handful of extremists need to be ousted and prosecuted for their roles in the insurrection. To not hold them accountable makes mockery of our justice system and rule of law

[mitchell]

When will the people ever learn you can not have republicans like these in charge. People need to be more cautious of who they elect to represent them.

[joanmckinnon]

McCarthy just needs to renege on his promises. Isn't that what all politicians do?

[AmireDivine]

Ceremonial speaker of congress Kelvin MCCARTHY " wow"

[Leonaza]

Republicans: “Out government doesn’t work because it’s broken.”

America: “Yes we know, because we watched you break it….repeatedly.”

[armstrong]

McCarthy should have made no concessions at let the voting circus continue for 13 days since after the 13th day congress would not get paid.
