Why would McCarthy tun again? He already has his place in the history books.
Not. McCarthy never keeps his word.
Omg is that the best they have. America is in big trouble
Does this have any impact on the impeachment?
US President 80, Can't make a sentence, can't walked straight
Fruntrunner 91 criminal cases
House speaker Blood Cancer
Senate leader fridge while speaking
😂😂😂 is it a joke?
That's what happen when Mccarthy crawled to the doggy door to become speaker. He ended up having to crawl back out.
Republican party has been hijack by the extreme, good luck republican voters you reap what you sow.
Who would want to commit political suicide by becoming the speaker of the House of Representatives when the MAGA cult are in control ?
The tyranny of the very small minority. When will they learn to work across party line?
Best option for mccarthy – become a democrat.
He shouldn’t have ever been speaker
Donald Trump would make the perfect House Speaker. He would also be in charge of the Capitol Police and would get to the truth of Jan 6th., something that every single American can fully get behind and support.
Kave-in Kevin should resign from the House.
Good riddance. This was a good win for MAGA .
involved in Jan 6, a traitor as is trump
Stop send money to Ukraine amen
2nd gentleman I don't qualify for Speaker of the House Matt gaetz
Jim Jordan supposed to next Speaker of the House
Who is McHenry? How does he think?
They didn't have a replacement ready to step in the vacancy? NO 😮? McCarthy voted against investigating Jan 6th. IDK that!
Ted Cruz have him speaker of the House
After 15 and now this, he’s going to need therapy.
MAGA had a mandate. Change the way Washington works. The House is the first domino to fall.
Conservative policy is easy. RINO vs. MAGA culture is hard. The competing cultures are clashing. MAGA has Trump. Now that McCarthy is gone RINOs are headless.
Trump for speaker!
MTG for speaker!
Fighting cancer ? Leave Congress and focus on ur health. But of course he won’t he will remain till his death again. Pathetic
No one with any intellectual honesty places any trust in Kevin McCarthy, nor his supporters in congress, nor all of the DNC and its supporters, nor the hopelessly captured leftist corporate media.
Now that he is out, are we going to hear what concessions were held over his head? Maga holds no sway over him anymore. Demands are useless once the hostage is dead.
I guess this is goodbye to Representative Kevin McCarthy as the ousted Speaker of the House of Representatives. He's finished. And Vern Buchanan of Florida is next to be ousted, along with Representatives Jim Jordan of Virginia, Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, and Lauren Boebert of Colorado, Senators Cindy Hyde-Smith of Mississippi, Marco Rubio of Florida and Rick Scott of Florida, Ted Cruz of Texas, Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia, and Josh Hawley of Missouri. They will be arrested for defrauding the United States, Congress, and the election followed by disgraceful Democratic Senator Bob Menendez of New Jersey for bribery.
Speakers getting ousted in North America…last week Canada this week US
Pass the 🍿🍿🍿🍿… I got the 🥃🥃🥃🥃
Put George “Kittarra” Santos in there. Shaazee😂😂😂
First Democrats shut up! McCarthy should have kept his word, and let the Government that has been doing nothing for the American people
Shut Down. And then use that to cut the Democrats from saling out this country for the money they wanted to make. Putting us so far in the whole that all would become slaves to the government taking 5 to 8 generations to pay the bill now. Much less if they get to double that bill in the next 4 years. If we as AMERICAN'S don't stop what's been going on in Washington DC by removing every Democrat from office on all levels, RINO'S included. Then we'll have to survive the Wars to come putting us back into the stone age.
No one should feel bad for him when you have to take a vote over and over and over and over just to win and there’s a clause in there that one member can vote you out you should have seen it coming. Just like a lot of other men his desperation to be in power got the best of him.
Republican house members have no choice but to get rid of a speaker who passes legislation. Even basic budgetary matters. /s
(Trivia question: what takes 15 tries to get but only once to lose?)

Quick tips for the next Speaker of the House…
The first rule of governing: put ‘We the People’ above party affiliation!
The first rule of politics: do not negotiate with terrorists, neither foreign & domestic nor within party affiliation!
The first rule of speakership: do not move-in before sealing the deal or risk being hostage within your own House!
To be continued…

(Answer: McCarthy’s gavel.)
Jim Jordan would be a great Speaker. All McCarthy had to do was keep he's word. But of course all members in Congress has that problem.
Democrats won’t play that game no more.
The only solution is for moderate Republicans to denounce the MAGA extremist members and work with Dems to elect a moderate Republican. 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
It's a great day to be alive to actually see Karma working!
What has this Congress achieved? Which important bills were passed? Total failure.
Another Trump pick ends in disaster.
The Democrats kick him out that is hilarious😂 democrats fire him
This what happens when you trust MAGATS
