Desperate for votes to become Speaker of the House, legendarily uncourageous House GOP leader Kevin McCarthy has given in to the Freedom Caucasians demands to lower the threshold on a “motion to vacate,” CNN reports. It’s not clear yet what the number will be lowered to as McCarthy is negotiating on that with the Freedom Caucasians and other MAGA psychopaths now.
Currently it stands at a majority of the conference, and some of his supporters are willing to drop it to 50 members, which is still probably too high of a bar to have any real meaning to it. “No, less than 5!! 2 or less (my opinion),” MAGA Congressman Ralph Norman told a reporter in a text message.
“He’s gotta get down to 1,” Matt Gaetz said separately, giving himself and any other Republican the ability to call a vote to potentially end McCarthy’s reign unilaterally at any one time.
