Asked about whether he regretted giving Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) the power to motion to vacate him from the speakership with a single vote, former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) tells Meet the Press he didn’t have a choice and believed “moving forward” was the best course of action.

#KevinMcCarthy #MattGaetz #Politics
Yes — you had a choice —- the country – or your getting your wooden hammer. – LOSER.
Who would vote for you Pinocchio 🤥 😂tell me 😂
Then he backs Jordan hilariously
And that support wasn’t because Kevin thought that Jordan was good for the country or the caucus, but out of bitter spite.
The GOP is having difficulty governing because their party is against the governance of America by the constitutional order. They believe our current President is not legitimate and that their party front-runner didn’t lose. And that man has called to do away with the constitution to put himself back in power despite losing. The party has no foundations in American politics, it’s all far right extremism and a danger to civil society. “A Massive Fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution.” – Donald Trump, Truth Social – Dec. 3, 2022
He did it because he wanted to become House Speaker and had sold his soul to the GOP MAGA! He can’t blame the Democrats since he never negotiated with them on anything!
McCarthy then backed the republicans who booted him out. He can’t be trusted to tell the truth.
More lies. He had a choice. Oh, beautiful, he’s blaming Democrats for his failures. Again.
It’s it funny .. they even blame the DEMS for this. And on the other hand they want not the help from the DEMS because they said we are the majority and should have a speaker … yeah you should but you can’t NOT 😂 that’s the difference
That stupid grin on his face. Dude has a simple mind.
Stop giving this washed up ex speaker a voice. He is a thorn in America’s side.
Your priority is to aid and protect Trump, not the American people, and your lies doesn’t convince the voters.
He traded integrity for power but actually gave the power to the crazy caucus. You can’t lead if no one will follow.
McCarthy is morally bankrupt.
Gaetz played Kevin.
Boo evil people
House Republicans are spineless cowards following Trump’s order.
McCarthy praises Jordan who is the leader of MAGA Republicans
that removed McCarthy. How sick and sad is that.
Why does NBC continue to interview the Loser McCarthy, Mr. Former Speaker. Hall of Fame Loser with Gym Jordan.
Republicans must now admit that Trump’s claims of massive fraud in the 2020 election had merit, but only because the Cheseboro and Powell confessions at their guilty pleas irrefutably exposes the fraud perpetrated by the Trump campaign and the RNC in seven battleground states.
MAGA is one big mess
He puts used car salesmen to shame
Does this clown 🤡 actually think the American people are stupid?
” THE COUNTERFEIT IS PERFECT , THE FAMILIAR LOOK , THE WORDS ,
THE TONE ARE REPRODUCED WITH MARVELOUS DISTINCTION . . . “
Jim Jordan is the best. The rest are RINOs
I’m really tired of this guy.
Republicans eating each other alive. What chaos and embarrassment.
Why are we speaking to Kevin McCarthy they kicked out for being trump kisser nobody should run for speaker that can’t say trump lost the election 😂
Has-beens! All of them! The Republican party will not survive Trump!
Gaetz was nursing his Sunday hangover as usual. “I haven’t got a clue” -Matt
As much as he failed the country so did the democrats by each one of them voting with that Gaetz nutcase. Face it McCarthy was pretty bad but what comes next will be worse.
NBC and Mcarthy are both globalist traitors
We will vote every Republican out that did not support Jim Jordan, and thank you News media for lying about Trump every day for 4 years and giving us Joe Biden and helping create this mess.
Keep blaming the Democrats for his mistakes hey you wanted to be an extremist
Kevin, you’re a 🤡
I am so happy to have the Republican party to take the blame for our country’s politicians being dishonest, and not too smart.
Goodbye RINO. MAGA strong!
