Some House Republicans have been privately criticizing House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) for moving forward with the push to oust their conference chair, Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY), according to Playbook.
Nnnoooo! Don’t replace Qevin. He’s the worst they can do.
Lol Bullshit.
The Republicans keep feeding the media with these “private conversations within large numbers of Republicans” to try and pretend the Republican Party is anything other than a White Supremacist conspiracy theory spreading organization, and the media keeps falling for it.
People without principles or spines DESERVE backlash!!!
The Freedom Caucoup reaches the end of its tether.
Old money, for the sake of the Wee Man, will ye not stir?
OT
I would be inordinately amused if this all came back to bite Qevin the Snivelling Qoward in the butt.
Not that I am a fan of Liz, but in this case, he’s even more loathsome than she is.
Hope they were rotten.
The release of those GOP polls that showed high Trump disapproval in close districts might be responsible for some Repukes getting cold feet about dumping Cheney. Qevin is such a coward that he will only do what appears to be the best move for him at the moment and he is too stupid to plan anything like a viable long term strategy.
So-called leadership this weak always does. If you’re too cowardly to do what needs to be done, no good ever comes of it.
This guy is incredibly ill-suited to be a leader of any sort. He seems awkward and indecisive, and often talks about what a fine line he needs to tread. All the hallmarks of someone who thinks he’s important, and likes to brag about his heavy burden of leadership to illustrate that.
Not hardly. I would love to see the leader be one of the two women gun nuts.
If your going to drive off the cliff you might as well do 150 mph.
It’s been nice coming to TPM since you started this site. Unfortunately since your going behind a pay wall. I won’t be going.
Over a decade ago. This would be the fourth site I would check daily for progressive news.
Think progress, crooks and liars and Raw story.
With the explosion of other sites including new types of media. TPM is near the bottom.
Good luck with that.
Those GOP lawmakers are reportedly upset that McCarthy, who has scheduled the vote on stripping Cheney of her title for Wednesday, threw a fellow House leader under the bus as part of his efforts to become speaker by doing ex-President Donald Trump’s bidding. One unnamed lawmaker told Playbook that he might vote against McCarthy for the speaker position due to his “weak leadership,” and signaled that other Republicans may do the same.
Why do i not see Dems in Disarray with news like this? Where’s David Brooks when we need him???
It doesn’t matter who they replace him with: their conference isn’t cohesive and will chew up anyone who takes the position, like they did to Boehner and Ryan.
The only thing they may do better at is improving the public face of the party; but, anyone who can do that is almost as certain to have a much more limited life expectancy as speaker.
I assume the “past” he doesn’t want to relitigate is a day about four months ago? Huh. Once a thing happens, it very soon stops mattering that it happened? The president raises a violent rebellion against the government he swore to uphold, and it reaches its sell-by date long before a can of tuna does? That is very interesting.
I just re-upped as my previous subscription ran out and I noticed things going behind a paywall.
I think Josh and his team do good work overall.
I don’t think people should be expected to work for free or give away gratis the product of their labor.
