Former Speaker Kevin McCarthy told Republican colleagues behind closed doors that he will not run for the position again, multiple lawmakers said after they left the gathering. This comes after McCarthy was removed as speaker during a House vote.

#KevinMcCarthy #Speaker #Congress
Go full Crazy…..Jim Jordan. Burn Everything
Saddest part is there is a chance of that actually happening.
Hi, Kevin. Are you unemployed? Call president Xi. He may help!!😂😂😂 But president Tsai in Taiwan said, no job opening for you!😢
It’s settled, the male Karen is a Kevin.
Which idoit ReTrumplican is next?
Imagine the in fighting if Trump gets in again, this is just a taste of things to come
Thank God they got that Corrupt trader out I knew he wasn’t gonna Do the peoples work. Hist thorough out further cells and how much money they can steal from the American people.😡🥊🥊thanks matt❤
Should run for President for 2024 against Trump. Better chance than any other Sane Republican
Well we all know now that we have republicans that are spies for the leftist Communist democrats we need to find them and Follow the money and put them in Prison .
I don’t know why anyone is voting for a party that is okay with mass shootings, bigotry, wants to cut social security, wants to bring back slavery, why is anyone for the Republican party when they only value people who can turn a profit for a corporation? The republican party doesn’t value your life. They don’t care if people are going hungry or are living on the street! What good is it having a party around that can’t even govern and holds everyone up? Why vote for a party that only cares about weapons, money, and yachts? This is tiresome, embarrassing, trifling and depressing.🤦♀️😡
😒 I don’t understand why this is considered Breaking News? Why would McCarthy even consider running for Speaker again when his own Party just kicked him to the curb and put him down like a diseased dog?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA
lol
I’m sure now the GQP will elect a sensible, honest leader & work diligently for hard-working families . . .🙄
Kevin McCarthy went down faster than Lauren Boebert at the theater.
Jim jordan would be great .
You misspelled “Gym”….
Another failed trump disciple.
While the dems have no trust in McCarthy, why would they put trust in any retrumplican. Either overtly or through lack of willingness to do otherwise,they are ,with few exceptions, all criminals. Let the clown show begin…
This is so disgusting
JIM JORDAN
Wow keavin should run again
It’s a feecies swinging game with the GOP.
Ouch. While it’s hard to feel sorry for Mr McCarthy because he made the bed he’s lying in. However, Mr Gaetz and the toddlers caucus are not good people and their motives for blowing things up and causing chaos are highly suspect.
Even a 17 year old that just got fired knows not to go get in the applicant line. But fear not, there are grown up democrats on the hill. The maga on maga cannibals are just playing in the front yard for a bit.
Biden is gonna win again. All thanks to the radical Republicans who decided to rebel instead of being unified. They broke the entire party lol
I don’t feel sorry for Keven McCarthy, he could not be trusted, and Matt Gaetz is The WORST,
Now he needs to resign from congress.
Woohoo….bye bye b*tch!!!😅😅😅😅😅
The goose is cooked and dinner is over. Look forward, WHO DO WE WANT TO OCCUPY THE SPEAKERSHIP next? I like to see what a Rep from UT can do. Utah has their finances together.
@Pedro.McBeans, Newt Gingrich was a Republican when our budget had a surplus as Speaker of the House. No kool-aid here, just facts, pal.
Donald Trump support is going crazy on twitter right now. He would make an excellent House speaker.
@facehugger3 , DT is not a Republican.
🍿🤡🍿Grab some popcorn for the next clown show episode, Choosing The Next Speaker…starring the FUBAR-GOP🎥🍿🤡
Oh, McCarthy, what is going on?..
The strife in the White House..
No comment.
I hope he’s okay.
Man, Putin must be so happy right now.
It’s not about spending or personalities, this is part of a strategy to de-legitimize government and create impassible gridlock. It’s part of a larger plot.
GOP is useless
goose
Bring Nancy back🎉
Republicans wanted a Civil War, within their own party was probably not what they had in mind.
It’s all about Zelenskyy and money 💰 for Ukraine 🇺🇦.
Please, go ahead and tell me what wonders would you do with the 40 cents it takes per individual US citizen to prevent Putin from committing genocide and extending Russia’s influence in Europe.
Welcome (Sept 2023) to YT. Now that you finally found your voice, please learn to bathe and brush your _tooth…_
Kevin needs to change his name to ‘Charlie’, since trump’s hand is always up his………………..back.
I remember McCarthy running, no one wanted him. Bring in Trump, get rid of Biden, Harris, and liberals
He betrayed Donald and kneeled to Biden
This was about Rump!!
He is a fighter….he will emerge.
Republicans don’t know how to govern the country. Nancy Pelosi had a 4 seat majority from 2021-2023 and was able to keep the Democratic caucus together passing numerous pieces of legislation. Republicans have controlled the House for 9 months now, ZERO accomplishments.
Republi”CANT”s 😂
Nominate Donald John Trump for Speaker of the House!!
Yes, please do. It would be fun to watch the GOP further publicly self-destruct…
I wonder what he will tell his kids? Lol he can lie if the kids cant read
Getting rid of the DEEP STATE on person at a time…..
Mccarthy was never worthy of this position. He wanted it too bad and thought that just because he was in line to get it, he should have it and sold his soul to do it.
Every time the GOP loses, America wins!
This what happens when you trust MAGATS
The Democrats kick him out that is hilarious😂 democrats fire him
Another Trump pick ends in disaster.
What has this Congress achieved? Which important bills were passed? Total failure.
It’s a great day to be alive to actually see Karma working!
The only solution is for moderate Republicans to denounce the MAGA extremist members and work with Dems to elect a moderate Republican. 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
Democrats won’t play that game no more.
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.
(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.)
Republican house members have no choice but to get rid of a speaker who passes legislation. Even basic budgetary matters. /s
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.
That’s not how the clause worked. It wasn’t one person could kick you out. One could call a vote of the entire House to remove you.
McCarthy’s problem was thinking Democrats would support him after giving them what they wanted, when he was found out that he lied to his own people to get elected.
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.
Put George “Kittarra” Santos in there. Shaazee😂😂😂
Pass the 🍿🍿🍿🍿… I got the 🥃🥃🥃🥃
Speakers getting ousted in North America…last week Canada this week US
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 Ohio, 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.
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.
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.
Fighting cancer ? Leave Congress and focus on ur health. But of course he won’t he will remain till his death again. Pathetic
MTG for speaker!
General John Kelly confirmed yesterday that Honest Don called US military heroes “losers” and “suckers.” Which military did you serve in, _Sarge?_
Trump for speaker!
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.
After 15 and now this, he’s going to need therapy.
Ted Cruz have him speaker of the House
They didn’t have a replacement ready to step in the vacancy? NO 😮? McCarthy voted against investigating Jan 6th. IDK that!
Who is McHenry? How does he think?
Jim Jordan supposed to next Speaker of the House
2nd gentleman I don’t qualify for Speaker of the House Matt gaetz
Stop send money to Ukraine amen
involved in Jan 6, a traitor as is trump
Good riddance. This was a good win for MAGA .
Kave-in Kevin should resign from the House.
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.
Welcome (May 2023) to YT. Now that you have finally found your voice, please learn to bathe and brush your _tooth…_
He shouldn’t have ever been speaker
Best option for mccarthy – become a democrat.
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?
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.
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?
False equivalence is the laziest form of stupidity. Welcome (May 2021) to YT. Now that you have finally discovered your voice, perhaps learn to bathe and brush your _tooth…_
Does this have any impact on the impeachment?
Omg is that the best they have. America is in big trouble
Not. McCarthy never keeps his word.
Why would McCarthy tun again? He already has his place in the history books.
Later Kevin…much later.
Kevin, you are the weakest link. Goodbye
THANK GOD
China has a Xi Jinping! It has set Chinese democracy back 40 years! Forced to close the self-media! Forced people to silence! Then only broadcast Xi Jinping’s own news! let u see China has news! pretend democracy! but only his news! only his dictatorship!
I see Kevin McCarthy run as GOP presidential candidate and after losing to Biden, he will retire. At least, we will get rid of Donald too hold Trump.
Garrett may need a CPAP. I know these tired eyes.
Hopefully the sack of excrement doesn’t run for the House again let alone Speaker.
RINOs take note. McCarthy’s fate could be your own. Delightful to know RINO McCarthy got the message. Jim Jordon would likely be far better than McCarthy. Jordon and Kash Patel investigated the 2016 plot to prevent President Trump’s election by the FBI, which the Durham Report later confirmed.
Report on Biden’s corpution and hunters. Why don’t you report on the WHO TREATY, SAY NO
