House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has been voted out of the job in an extraordinary showdown, a first in U.S. history. The 216-210 vote was forced by a contingent of hard-right conservatives and throws the House and its Republican leadership into chaos.
Remember that anyone can be elected speaker, even someone off the street. You know who no republican would dare vote against if nominated? I’ll give you one guess.
This ought to be good.
Did the article explain why some Democrats went along with voting him out? If it did, I missed it, and honestly I’m too lazy to read the article again. Thanks!
Because he’s a two-faced liar who went back on his word.
Direct and to the point. Okay!
The far right and the entire Democratic party dislike him for the same reason, which I find kind of telling about the state of the GOP and conservative politics at large.
