Even his own people hate him.
Marjorie Taylor Greene, Matt Gaetz, Lauren Boebert, they all hate him. That has to mean something right there.
Newly-minted House of Representatives Speaker Kevin McCarthy has trouble gaining respect from a lot of people, and that situation extends deep inside his very own Republican caucus.
It only took fifteen rounds of voting, but McCarthy is now the very thing he most desperately wanted to be, Speaker of the House. And now, after getting rid of the Big Orange One, at least for now, we have another American demagogue thrust upon us.
This is a guy who never met a fact he liked, willing to stoop to any level to get that prized possession, the speaker’s gavel.
Making deals to put suspect people on important and sensitive Congressional committees, and kissing the ring of a former president at every opportunity, McCarthy has made another suspect move that cannot be in any way good for American democracy.
McCarthy, for whom the January 6 riots were nothing more than a mitten fart, has decided to give exclusive and unfettered access to all security material pertaining to the riot to someone outside Congress with no security clearance and no bona-fide reason to have this evidence.
And that someone? Tucker Carlson.
I’m not going to waste the time and space to walk through all the reasons that this is entirely wrong and inappropriate, but top drawer ass-kissing seems to be the hallmark of this obviously pathetic politician. It shouldn’t be difficult to understand that Carlson is America’s most-watched Fox personality and possibly most-watched conservative shit-disturber.
Why does McCarthy feel he needs to release this material to anyone?
Because he feels he can get some personal benefit from it, plain and simple. And the fact that this happens in the light of day, in full view, is a commentary on the state of American affairs.
Remember what he said about Trump the day of the insurrection?
“I’m done with this guy,” said Kevin, all flush with certainty that Trump had shot his bolt.
And then he goes and puckers up to the Big Boy at his Mar-A-Lardo estate. Carrot-Top has a big ass, so that’s a lot of kissing to be done. But not for Kevin, owing to the accumulation of practical experience in the art.
The Speaker of the House is third in line to the American presidency. Kevin is the reason they don’t let the president and vice-president fly on the same plane.
