McCarthy Might Be Out!

Kevin McCarthy could resign by the end of the year.

Bakersfield, come and get your dude!

He is a damaged goods.

An embarrassing chapter in his life, Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) was ousted by 212 Democrats and eight Republicans as House Speaker of the United States. He was part of the "young guns" which included former House Speaker Paul Ryan of Wisconsin and former House Majority Leader Eric Cantor of Virginia. His status as the country club Republican didn't sit too well with MAGA.

MAGA saw him as an obstacle in the way of Donald J. Trump.

Republicans have some of the worst House Speakers since 1995. 

Newt Gingrich, Georgia lawmaker, a three time adulterer, government shutdowns, bullshitter, blowhard, corrupt, inept and the mastermind behind Bill Clinton's impeachment.

Dennis Hastart, Illinois lawmaker, an adulterer, convicted rapist, child predator, mastermind behind the Patriot Act, driven American troops to Iraq and Afghanistan, promoted Islamophobia, massive debt under George W. Bush, closeted homosexual, mastermind of the GOP gerrymandering project and porker.

John Boehner, Ohio lawmaker, an adulterer, tried to repeal Affordable Care Act (Obamacare), chain smoker, an asshole, a porker, mastermind behind the Barack Obama far right conspiracies, crying at public events and government shutdown.

Paul Ryan, Wisconsin lawmaker, 2012 vice presidential nominee, porker, tried to repeal Obamacare, massive debt under Donald J. Trump, two government shutdowns, mastermind of austerity cuts, tried to implement Muslim ban and immigration family separation.

But hey, let's vilify Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA). 

Pelosi, the first woman to serve twice as House Speaker. She helped get Democrats on board to help Bush out of his fiscal economy crash, passed ACA, passed Frank-Dobbs reform (Supreme Court threw out later), managed to keep caucus in line, finished Ryan's government shutdown, survived multiple death threats, almost lost her husband to white terrorist, vilified by Republicans, Fox and social media, impeached Trump twice, backs Israeli genocide under guise of "Israel defending itself," lower drug prices, passed Joe Biden infrastructure plans, failed to pass ethics reform for stock trading, passed Biden manufacturing in America plans and became an icon among women in leadership.

McCarthy got the gavel after Republicans won slight control of Congress. It took 15 votes to make it happen. He led the Republicans to raise the debt ceiling, keep the government open, throw Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) out the Freedom Caucus, allegedly had an affair with Renee Elmer, former Republican lawmaker from North Carolina, cries at public events, launched an impeachment inquiry into Biden, allowed Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO) and Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) oust him, threatened to hit Pelosi over the head with the gavel and graveled to Trump after he threatened to support impeaching him for inciting an insurrection.

Speculation over McCarthy's potential departure escalated ahead of the Thanksgiving recess, with multiple GOP sources noting he posted a photo on Instagram in which his district office appeared to be in the process of being packed.

McCarthy allies have praised his tenure — applauding his fundraising prowess and leadership skills — but told Axios they wouldn't blame him for leaving given the circumstances. And his critics remain vocal about their grievances, with some accusing him of being "bitter" and "petty" in his remarks about those who worked to remove him.

Republicans have struggled to generate revenue since the chaos of October. Ousting McCarthy showed the dysfunction Republicans have within its ranks. Also having a Republican president primary race where no candidate but Trump is getting the limelight also discouraged supporters. Trump remains popular among Republicans but his flaws are well known and many candidates running feel like the party is giving him a pass despite his indictments, his refusal to debate, the outright lies and the lack of direction going at Biden.

McCarthy was best at pulling big donors. Many are concerned that Gaetz and Greene are making the party look like idiots.
