McCarthy learned to govern? Please

Newly elected House Speaker Kevin McCarthy claimed the extraordinary 15 ballots to secure his House Speakership were good for the Party and country. “It’s taught us how to govern” McCarthy claimed.

For someone who’s been in Congress for 15 years to proclaim he’s finally learned how to govern is astonishing. What McCarthy did not say was that to become Speaker, he had to grovel before the Treason Wing of his party who disgrace the House and the country by even being present in the House chamber.

That should surprise no one. McCarthy joined with the majority of House Republicans in support of a Texas lawsuit to void the 2020 Presidential result by preventing Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin and Georgia voting the will of their electorates for Joe Biden. The Supreme Court waived off their frivolous effort to void the election.

He caved to all their pernicious demands having nothing to do with improving life in America. He gave them a one person ‘leave the Speakership’ card to initiate a snap vote to replace him. He ramped up the possibility of a government shutdown over insincere concern for fiscal responsibility. He encouraged their endless war on Social Security and Medicare.

Kevin McCarthy should have listened and learned from his Republican predecessor John Boehner who finally quit the Speakership in 2015, saying "This place (US House) was crazytown and I was the Mayor. It was populated by jackasses, and media hounds, and some normal citizens as baffled as I was about how we got trapped inside the city walls,. Every second of every day since Barack Obama became president I was fighting one batshit idea after another."

Crazytown, Speaker McCarthy? You ain’t seen nothing yet.
