Yeah, we might be overselling it in the headline. We don’t know if titular Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy is actually going to answer questions from reporters since the video feed from his YouTube account bills it as “Speaker McCarthy Makes a Statement,” not “press conference” or whatever. But if we got that part right then we sure as shit will have nailed the “defensive and upset” as he’s almost certain to get snappy at least once as the fourth estate needles him on why he thinks it’s a good idea to try to impeach President Biden, if he actually believes can even make it happen, Matt Gaetz breaking his balls, Marjorie Taylor Greene gripping his balls, et cetera. Should be fun.
UPDATE 9/12/2023 11:19 AM EDT: McCarthy will announce he’s just going to open an impeachment inquiry without even holding a vote, Punchbowl’s Jake Sherman reports on the bitch move.
