Democratic leaders spoke on the steps of the Capitol and dialed up their rhetoric against Republicans for nominating a conservative firebrand to be the next House speaker.
This amazing takes completely ignores the fact that McCarthy spent the few days before getting ousted blaming the Dems for everything bad.
Fucker had it coming, and this is a Republican Problem, caused by Republicans, for Republicans. Democrats have no reason at all to help keep in power someone actively working against them.
They really don’t have any responsibility. As you say - the GOP has the majority, and started his ouster in a situation he himself created. That alone should say it all.
But also realize that Kev did zero to try to get Dems on board supporting him, which is how this is all SUPPOSED to work. Compromise is how they built the system. Instead he actively pushed them away, promising never to work with them, offensively blaming them for the disarray, and pulling undemocratic stunts like starting an impeachment investigation with no evidence or even a vote.
they sided with the far right nutters to oust the previous one.
They didn’t side with the Republicans. But default, they never voted for McCarthy. McCarthy’s speakership required republican support because he never got Democrat support. That’s why his initial run for speaker took like 15 tries. If the democrats had supported him, it would’ve taken one.
The pandemonium in the House is purely Republican political theater. Democrats are merely allowing Republicans to showcase their inability to govern because they’re not unified.
they sided with the far right nutters to oust the previous one. If it weren’t for literally the entire Democratic caucus joining in with the 8 lone Republicans who wanted this there wouldn’t be a leadership crisis in the midst of an impending government shutdown.
The fucking mental gymnastics to say 200+ Dems joined with 8 fucking Republicans…

Exactly. Democrats have no responsibility for any of this. They wanted Hakeem Jeffries,

He also reneged on deals he had promised the Democrats. Why would they trust him in the future?
