And McCarthy had almost two months since midterms to try to whip up votes straight clown shyt
Say what you want about Pelosi but she would NOT be in a situation like this. Either she would get the votes or hold a press conference a few weeks before announcing she was stepping down. This is just straight up political incompetence.
Bruh, this is the most mind boggling part of all of this.
McCarthy had two months to figure out that he never had the votes.
The Freedom Caucus had two months to put together an actual plan that included a replacement candidate.
Somehow, neither happened.
For all the bluster these fukking idiots have about how Establishment Washington is bad because there are people who have spent the overwhelming majority of their adult lives working there, we're now getting proof that those folks are at least good for making sure they keep things running most of the time.
