Shorter GOP: “Elect us and we’ll burn America to the ground!!!”

I’d vote for McCarthy’s opponent JUST so I’d never have to listen to this emasculated seditionist whine and threaten Americans.
I’m sure I could come up with other reasons if necessary.

“But this new standard which these Democrats have voted for — if Eric Swalwell cannot get a security clearance in the private sector, there is no reason why he should be given one to be on Intel or Homeland Security.

I’m not sure what this even means?

ETA: can Jared explain this better?

McCarthy is the dimmest of dim bulbs. He’s also learning how to be a fascist.

It will be interesting (and terrifying) to observe the jockeying for position here. There is no ideological right far enough for the current iteration of the GQP to go. Their orcs want fascism plain and simple. McCarthy is simply telling them what they want to hear.

“if Eric Swalwell cannot get a security clearance in the private sector, there is no reason why he should be given one to be on Intel or Homeland Security. He will not be serving there,””

Riiiight, because whatever the “private sector” (read: Trump KKKultists from private security companies paid to show up on Faux News) is doing is soooo much more effective and thorough than the FBI and CIA.
