Rep. Tim Huelskamp (R-KS), a member of the House Freedom Caucus that did not support MCarthy’s bid, told The Hill that when McCarthy made the announcement, the majority leader’s supporters "all looked in shock to me."

Rep. Peter King tells me that members are crying in cloakroom, unable to handle the unrest and confusion. “A banana republic,” he says.

People also wept when FDR died because they knew they’d never see leadership as remarkable as his. These asshats cry over this mediocrity missing a turn at the brass ring. It’s pathetic.

Once again, the Republicans prove that they are incapable of governing . . . .even themselves, much less a country.
This needs to be a major Democratic theme for the coming election.

Laugh all you want now. In a few months we’ll all wish we had a McCarthy or Gowdy in leadership.

Banana republic, indeed. And even Peter King, one of the biggest jerks on the face of the earth, recognizes it.
