McCarthy Mocks Cheney And Kinzinger With Lame New Nickname: ‘Pelosi Republicans’ | Talking Points Memo

So I guess that makes Manchin and Sinema McConnell Democrats?

I’m REALLY looking forward to McCarthy being questioned by Cheney and Kinzinger when he’s called to testify…

This is what he brings? School yard taunts?

Kinzinger and Cheney already know their future. They accepted their position and status.

I don’t get it. McCarthy thinks he is going to call names and they will roll over or run home crying. He is so far out of his league he needs to be held back a grade and take remedial adulting.

Pelosi Republicans are the folks who helped to put Biden Harris over the top in a number of states. Keep talking Quevin.

I just hope his subpoena is addressed to “Qevin McQarthy”.

“Pelosi Republicans” Convenient enough name for the ones who want to retain some shred of their public dignity. And personal souls.

Ya know, these phrases can turn on you. “Obamacare” started out as an insult too.

What a dickhead. Way to show leadership. Don’t back your members, insult them and don’t participate in an investigation of insurrectionists that attacked our Capitol.

Pelosi and Liz Cheney, between them, are going to have Qevin’s balls for earrings.

Such a sharp knife, Qevin. Keep up the good work.

Tangential.

As much of the Twitterverse is now replying, Lindell seems to have missed that one civics class in which he would have learned that it’d be the Speaker of the House who’d then become president if Biden and Harris resigned. Yes: President Pelosi.

Qevin MqQarthy is, by all accounts, really quite stupid.

Lindell thinks that a bunch of Democrats are first going to switch parties in the House and vote for Trump as Speaker. Voila, Trump is president again.

McCarthy then accused Cheney and Kinzinger of being “Pelosi Republicans”…

Says the leader of the Al-Qaeda Caucus.

In this case, Qevin is both the rubber and the glue.

Hell, in ALL cases.

Says a lot that he was once one of the “Young Guns” along with those other luminary success stories, Eric “Lost my primary to a Crank” Cantor and Paul “Can’t run away from the Speaker’s Gavel fast enough” Ryan.

GOP hanging themselves.

Here’s the chair, here’s the rope.

McCarthy reminds me of a guy I grew up with: he inherited his father’s heavy machinery business and drove the multi-million dollar operation into bankruptcy in less than a decade. It all started by him mistreating the older operators who responded by quitting en masse.

He soon found out replacing experienced operators was not an easy task. The younger clowns he had left became major screwup artists with the older guys no longer there to set them straight.
