"The eight Republicans who joined with Democrats to vote McCarthy out offered a range of reasons. South Carolina congresswoman Nancy Mace said McCarthy 'has not lived up to his word on how the House would operate,' and argued that the chaos in Congress would be worse with McCarthy in charge than without him. 'We need a fresh start,' she said.
Tim Burchett of Tennessee told CNN that McCarthy had 'said something that I thought belittled me and my belief system' in a phone call. He said he was open to supporting several 'honorable men' as McCarthy’s replacement, adding: 'They’ve never openly mocked me, anyway.'"

"'Let them wallow in their pigsty of incompetence,' Representative Pramila Jayapal told reporters before the vote."
