As the House of Representatives reconvened today, excited and hopeful that a new round of balloting would get Rep. Kevin McCarthy his gavel. But it was not to be. Another round of voting closed without meeting the threshold required to elect a speaker. The only winners thus far are Democrats, who look like a formidable force together, and C-SPAN ratings.
So, with the dreams and wishes of the Republicans dashed, the fury and finger-pointing drifted over to the top-rated cable news channel, Fox News. The recriminations were palpable as Tucker Carlson suggested that maybe McCarthy didn’t really want to be the House speaker, and Newt Gingrich told the Fox & Friendsghouls that every Republican lawmaker who didn’t support McCarthy was and is a “blackmailing idiot.”
Sean Hannity opened his show Tuesdaywith a stinging indictment of House Republicans, saying they are “on the verge of becoming a total clown show if they’re not careful.”
