McCarthy: 'Republicans Lost the Majority' When Gaetz Led My Ouster
[BREITBART] As turmoil continues within the House Republican caucus, former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy
...the GOP house majority leader. His primary accomplishment to date has been first to hold on to power against a conservative revolt and then to order an impeachment inquiry into Joe Biden’s involvement in his son Hunter’s business deals. At that point he lost his job when he was run over by loose cannon Matt Gaetz. This was what's known in the intelligence profession as evidence something or other...
(R-CA) appeared on Fox News Channel’s "Jesse Watters Primetime" and weighed in on that turmoil and the decisions his successor, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), is facing.

According to the former Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, politician, the beginning of the end for Republicans came when Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) led his ouster last year.

"Kevin what is going on with the spending and what just happened with Johnson?" host Jesse Watters asked.

"I don’t know what they’re doing spending now, but when I became Speaker, I instituted a 72-hour rule that got not just the members the opportunity to read the bill, but America as well," McCarthy replied. "You’d never waive it unless it’s a Continuing Resolution, something you’re already doing so people would know. I think it’s always helpful to allow people to read the bill, allow America to read the bill. And really, this comes down to what’s happening in Congress today. It goes back to when those eight Republicans led by Gaetz partnered with every single Democrat to decide who could be Speaker. That’s when Republicans lost the majority."

"Jesse, remember what we were able to do in a small majority of the first nine months?" he continued. "The strongest, most conservative border security bill, energy independence. We did a Parents’ Bill of Rights. We stopped DC from decriminalizing. We stopped the pandemic officially. We stopped them from kicking out our men and women in the military who refuse the vaccine. We have the biggest cut in savings voted on American history — more than $2 trillion. We got welfare reform. We cut $20 billion of that from the IRS
...the Internal Revenue Service; that office of the United States government that collects taxes and persecutes the regime's political enemies...
that was going to hire to go after us, very successful and you work together with a small majority, and all those bills had 72 hours to read them because people could get behind them."

#4 That recent pic of Johnson walking down a flight of stairs with Paul Ryan and yukking it up tells pretty much the whole story.

The globalists are buying out every Republican in the House that they can to give control to the Democrats.

#5 ^^ For sure. I seem to recall when Paul Ryan was an ephemeral darling of the GOPers.
