Kevin McCarthy’s inability to lock down support for the Speakership is seriously fucking things up for the incoming Republican majority, as now Politico reports he’s pushed off conference-wide votes for committee chairmanships until after January 3rd, setting the presumptive leaders back weeks as it freezes their ability to start working on bills, hire staff, and set up hearings.
Not sure what else to write about this guy that hasn’t already been written here. Republican voters should be ripping their hair out in rage over McCarthy’s utter void of anything even resembling a typical virtue of courage or leadership. Of course it’s entertaining to us non-MAGA folks, but goddamn it’s also kind of frustrating by proxy in a weird way. McCarthy just sucks that badly.
