#Democrats #KevinMcCarthy #House
Seems like he wanted out.
He was playing both sides trying to work the outcome to his advantage so yeah gotta go.
The government should be working to make the country better and make the lives of the people better. It’s not a football game
Vote Democrat
Now lets put the outrage over the bold and disrespectful picture of McCarthy and Donald “Dump” post insurrection in perspective!….if this picture is so wrong then can someone tell me how is there any logic to Trump being a candidate for president, this is complete insanity. I think every reporters personal protest and duty to country should to “refuse to report anything about Trump”….. for any future elections.
Will this finally push moderate, non-MAGA Republicans to rediscover their senses and gather together to push back on Matt Gaetz, Trump and the vile base to steady the ship. Matt has proved himself an immature but dangerous power monger, Trump is heading for disgrace and the country is getting tired of the MAGA mouths. Now’s the time to reverse course and get back to work as 2 cooperating parties.
I believe McCarthy put political gamesmanship over integrity. The Dems and many Republicans put integrity over political gamesmanship. It was nice to see. maga must go.
If McCarthy expected Democrats to save his Speakership, he was an even worse Speaker than I already though he was.
Republicans cannot- CANNOT- make nice with Democrats unless they are willing to sell out their principles. McCain. Romney. Kinzinger. Ryan. Boehner. Liz Cheney. And the list can go on.
So (R) “principles” cannot coexist with integrity, reason and compromise? Got it.
Not with the Marxists in what used to be the Democrat Party, no.@kkeelty64
No front row seat for McCartism on January 22 from Mr. Biden speech. Let’s see who the dufus is going be.
NO chiropractor worth it s salt. will touch kevin boy… he ll forever drag his knuckles alongside his tootsies….
McCarthy is a two face puppet. Weak and not liked by anyone. He’s power hungry and got caught being two faced. He can’t work with both sides.
Pity they can’t elect an independent member with no ties to either party.
The GOP is trying to get support for Trump being named Speaker. There will be no moderation of their craziness.
let them turn the chamber into a mockery with Trump…
people are watching
Maybe now, finally, this will put a stop to the ridiculous claims by mainstream media sites that both sides are to fault for Congress being so broken. It is now so obvious that it is the MAGA-cult dominated GOP that is the problem.
GO MAGA ,TAKE THAT LUCIFER CLASS
Hakeem Jeffries for speaker of the house hes the best candidate
It was fine for Mc to lie to Ds and We The People, but Rs didn’t like it when he lied to them… 😝
Thrashing the Dems in the medias was one of the stupidest move a politician ever did. Maybe he didn’t want the job anymore, now that he had had his little photo op in front of his “speaker of the House” plaque?
If you’re looking for Integrity from the Republican party at this time there is none!! This is also a ploy by the far right to install a further far right speaker!!
The problem is that the GOP no longer is a function political party interested in governing.
Macarthy what was you thinking. You can not bad mouth the Democrats and expect them to back you to keep your job! Macarthy you hung your self with your party the Maga Trumpster party and you hung your self with the Democrat party by bad mouthing them on national television! Macarthy your were not fit to be House Speaker, and Trump is not fit to be President of this country !
Here comes Jordan
This whole thing makes me think the only difference between Congress and high school is that there is some adult supervision in high schools.
Gaetz and the extreme Magas were upset that the government didn’t get shut down ….. That’s the only reason the vote was even brought up. These people just don’t seem to care about people, just themselves and Trump
Everyone is acting shocked by McCarthy being twofaced. Nothing good has ever come out of Bakersfield especially politicians.
The democrats wanted Kevin McCarthy out because he was doing a good job. Exposing the biden family corruption.
It was republicans who voted him out, son. That is what happens when you lie down with trump. you wake up with fleas.
If the Democrats had supported McCarthy, they would have been guilty of supporting a traitor. At least they voted to oust the traitor.
McCarthy must think he is not going to be held accountable for trying to destroy America as we the people know it.
I would love Rep. Jeffries to be Speaker!
trumpo has McCarthy’s sack nailed to a basement wall at Mara-Lardo.🤣
Republicans seldom pay for their arrogance, so of course they have no problem bashing, bullying, and betraying Dems and innocent members of the public.
McCarthy should have look at his own party, 8 of them wanted him out, but he thinks it was the Democrats, he was really bad at the job.
They all need to be removed everyone of them we need new people with no political experience. They will do better job.

SPINO is a Failure.
Once in the history of America. Brought to you by the people who Attacked America’s Capitol, Killed, Destroyed Property and Smeared their Excrement on the Capitol Walls!
Republican Family Values.
Soooo 8 Republicans voted with Democrats, to get what they wanted, which was to punish one of their own for doing just that. Republicans must live in a world of hypocrisy and paradox in their own minds. No surprise really.
Thank you Dems for not being weak for once. It’s about time. The GOP clown show will NEVER show mercy to the left. Let them burn.
Bye Bye Mr 15 🤣👋
When people say it’s not personal, it most definitely is. In this case it’s both.
Just just bc Democrats are kind and caring, others think they are suckers.
You can’t easily fix or bargain with stupid.
well now he is part of history as americas first ousted and also most ineffective speaker.
Trump really only knows the best people.
best at failing that is.
Just just bc Democrats are kind and caring, the GOP thinks they are suckers.
I hope Hillary is laughing her A** off right now.
Seems a little like Trump lashing out at the judge who’s hearing his case and determining damages
Would Liz Cheney be bipartisan enough?
I did to. I also saw him keep President of Ukraine to the curved when he came to make the beast called the MAGA base happy. So do I thank he would helped Ukraine later I do not know but what I do know he lied right after they helped him and even agreed to not give aid to Ukraine who I want us to help.
GOP has CLEARLY shown they as a caucus CANNOT FUNCTION. They thrive on chaos NOT solutions and the Country is suffering due to it.
Kevin McCarthy was initially viewed as a moderate, if he had presided as speaker in that fashion, Dems would have saved him but he bent the knee to the far right crazies and in staying true to form like their master trump, they betrayed him 😂😂
So Matt Gaetz use them dems to out him ?
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
get what you sow repugs
It was stupid to bash the people who saved your @$$ and had the power to do it again. McCarthy should have just kept his word on the previous budget agreement and pushed it through the house. Then, if he faced repercussions, he might have been able to access help.
Refusing to work with other government officials for no other reason than the color of their suit is irresponsible, divisive, and dangerous. How could this be allowed to happen??!
Nominate Trump!!!
how is trump going to be speaker, sit in courtrooms and also run for president? Plus all the golfing he does. I love this meme. Shows Trump supporters have completely lost touch with reality.
McCarthy can now walk silently into the night. His name will be remembered and forever laughed at for being the only speaker who was ousted by his own party because he doesn’t belong there in the first place.
Finally, the Dems showing some balls and unanimously voting to oust this weasle.
Gee, 40 days until the next Republican shut down of the US, and decreased rating along with increased interest rate on the national debt. It also remains to be seen how much this will decrease the value and usage of the US dollar for transactions!
This will be the Republicans excuse to shut down the government for the holidays.
They don’t care about American people!!!
They only care about Trump!!
All this mess is for him.
The king of Crap.💩
So the Democrats were played to get the vote to remove McCarthy just to replace him with Trump? Sad 🤦♀️
Trump can’t legally become speaker due to rules enacted by Republicans.
Maybe Liz Cheney will be next speaker. Or maybe Jeffries.
@Learn Steel Guitar in Retirement Liz Chaney would be a great choice but the extremist Republicans would never vote for it. This was done to shut down our government to tout Trumps hold by the party of loosers.
No – the RepubliQans were played – as Gaetz et al. colluded with Democrats to get McCarthy out. And isn’t that what Gaetz was so upset about? Colluding with Democrats?
McCarthy fail to understand that it’s ok for Trump to lie to MAGA but not ok for him to lie to MAGA.
This is a great mistake by democrats, the chaos that will follow will be partly at their feet. This was the time to make a deal, compromise and move forward.
why should dems save republicans from themselves, especially someone like McCarthy? Let the world see just how incompetent republicans are.
The House will have a stronger speaker and Democrats will pay heavier prices
You mean the american people will pay a heavier price, don’t you, since Republicans are the party of chaos, criminals, and disfunction?
He got what he deserved 😂
Asian for Trump!!!!!!!🎉
Cool. Because no americans are. Looks like Trump has one vote from North Korea.
Mccarthy is a sellout. Kissing trump butt.
Then mccarthy bad nouths dems….while his party continues to do nothong for americans.
Little snot just wanted a badge, didn’t care at all about the job itself. Weak “men” are the worst
Usually, when I insult, belittle, and blame someone else, i can depend on them to let me keep my position that allows me to insult, belittle, and blame them even more. Weird how one’s actions have consequences.
Democrats didn’t owe him anything! Let them feed on each other! The voters are watching!
Very informative take on what is happening in this sh*tshow of a government…
Moscow McCarthy is a TRAITOR – a Russian ASSet here to do Putin’s bidding. Look at how the Russian RepubliQans are weakening our economy, our military and our health. Never ever ever vote for a RepubliQan. A vote for a RepubliQan is a vote for Putin.
This Democrat administration is changing law to build the wall!!!! After 2 million+ unvaccinated illegals crossed in 22 at a cost of $151 billion a year to house. The Democrat party called Trump an xenophobe for wanting the wall they fought his administration tooth and nail to stop it. What changed or are the Democrat party members xenophobes now???
Drowned in his own words.
McCarthy proved to the world that he was an inept politician who couldn’t manage his caucus.
His biggest issue was that he could never pick a lane. Always jumping ship and switching sides. You cannot trust someone like that.
McCarthy broke his word and went back on the deal he made with the democrats for the budget deal. This from the Republicans complaining about the debt, which increased over $7 billion under Trump. Most republicans run up the deficit, steal money, and don’t want to pay the bill. The American people get stuck with it.
Not $7 billion, $7 trillion!!!!!
Bargaining in bad faith is a Right-Wing characteristic. It’s who they are. Untrustworthy traitors to America. Repub’s are dysfunctional.
Whats the difference anyway? The house republicans are just gonna nominate a row of clowns & fools and here we go again. It should still be fresh in everyones mind the last time we watched the maga morons put up one massive failure after the next, including the passed around idea that Trump might be good for this job! Everything these dummies do turns into a wackopalooza
McCarthy broke alk the records, the first speaker that took 16 votes to win(shockingly disgraceful), the first speaker to abdicate all power to an extremist fringe(with new power stripping laws against the speaker), the first speaker to be tossed out by his own party, and the first speaker to break his word and agreements shortly after becoming speaker. Then to blame Democrats for his own party’s gross incompetence and anti democracy policies.
That’s what the Republicans do is blame someone else 🙄
Karma came back to bite him.
Has a House Speaker ever gotten a vote from the other side ever?
To blame the Democrats for the fall of McCarthy shows how the GQP will NEVER take even the slightest responsibility for anything.
Even those things that are 100% their own doing and their own choices.
When tiny children make the agenda, expect a disgusting mess to follow…
Sir you just described pretty much every republican lol
I think it pretty obvious he didn’t want to be speaker anymore. Who would?
Why on earth would Democrats support the Kevin McCarthy horror show? Of course he will be replaced by another Renazikkklan horror show.
I bet the Republicans are beating themselves up for not getting rid of Gaetz when they had the chance.
Impeachment of Biden turned into impeachment of Mccarthy 😅
Oh darn.
I think the country finally realized McCarthy was an opportunist. He used certain words for the Democrats. The had other words for his Republicans. We just have to bide our time til a new election to retake the House.i think to Democrats in the House either votes no or present to the Maga leadership.
He CLEARLY wanted out…….?!?
I would vote for a bag of dead cats before I would vote for any Republican especially DJ tRump
