Republicans in disarray!
Liz Cheney has announced through a spokesperson that she’s not the one who recorded or leaked the audio of Kevin McCarthy saying he was about to ask Donald Trump for his resignation. Okay, so things just got even more intriguing. If not Cheney, then who? The only people on that call were House Republicans. Somebody in the House GOP wants McCarthy to go down.
The real point here is that McCarthy has been a deer in the headlights all along, cowering to everyone in his party. They’re all sociopaths, they’ve smelled weakness in him from the start, and one or more House Republicans has long been plotting to take him down and take his job.
There are so many House Republicans you could picture secretly recording McCarthy fifteen months ago just to spring it on him now. Most of them wouldn’t be above doing it. And now McCarthy knows he can’t trust a single one of them. He’s all alone, isolated, waiting to be finished off by his own team.
Some of you are speculating about which House Republican might be the next Speaker now that Kevin McCarthy is taking it on the chin. Here’s an idea: let’s put in the hard work required to win the midterms, so the next Speaker will be Nancy Pelosi. This House Republican infighting, reaching the point of total disarray, certainly increases the odds of the Democrats winning the midterms – if we put in the work on the basic things like voter registration and getting people to the polls.
