Kevin McCarthy is completely blowing the Marjorie Taylor Greene thing

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

I told you from day one that Marjorie Taylor Greene’s deranged antics, and House Republicans’ hesitance to do anything about her, would end up being a huge gift to House Democrats’ chances in 2022.

Sure enough, we’re now seeing that. Kevin McCarthy has been forced to issue a weak and too-late statement today, sorta kinda condemning Greene, which will only serve to alienate extreme right wing voters, while failing to appease voters in the middle.

The kicker is that House Republicans could have gained points by expelling Greene months ago. They could probably break even by expelling her now. But they won’t, because Kevin McCarthy is an idiot who cares more about staying on Trump’s good side than about winning strategy.
