Kevin McCarthy is having hassle transferring on, as he’s blaming Democrats for getting fired as Speaker of the Home.
The previous Speaker mentioned when requested if Jim Jordan ought to drop out of the race to be Speaker:
For Jordan to drop out of this race? No, no, under no circumstances. I imply, he picked up a pair misplaced a pair. So, if any person had voted for him earlier than, they might all the time vote for him once more, and he picked up a pair extra votes. So which means you suppose he ought to go to a 3rd poll now? I might take the time proper now to speak and take heed to members.
…
I feel that’s the identical strain individuals understand you can’t preserve enjoying video games.
I imply, you already know, you sit again and look. Loopy 8, led by Gaetz, with each single Democrat, voted to close down one department of presidency. Who would ever suppose that was the proper factor to do at any time of the 12 months?
…
And so, what I see, although, is there’s no probability on the planet that Democrats can ever say once more that they put individuals earlier than politics. They made a political determination to attempt to convey chaos, to close down a department of presidency, and that’s mistaken.

Kevin McCarthy continues to be bitter that he’s not the Speaker of the Home anymore. He knowingly continues accountable the mistaken individuals for his demise.
If McCarthy wished Democrats to assist him, he most likely shouldn’t have taken away the committee assignments of three of their members, baselessly censured Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), and unilaterally launched an evidence-free impeachment investigation into President Biden.
Rep. McCarthy solely has one individual accountable, and that’s himself. McCarthy made the deal that set the wheels in movement for Matt Gaetz and others to take away him. Kevin McCarthy knowingly climbed into mattress with MAGA, so he needs to be stunned at what occurred.
It’s over for Kevin McCarthy. He’ll most likely by no means return to management once more and solely has himself accountable.
