“You're literally taking your quarterback out of the game in the third quarter without anyone to replace him.” For the first time in American history, the US House of Representatives voted to unseat its Speaker as Kevin McCarthy was removed this week by a vote of all Democrats and 8 members of his own party. This followed on the heels of his decision to rely on Democratic votes to keep the government open.
Does this send a message that the days of compromise are over? Are the guardrails irreparably broken down? What happens next?
"Whatever your politics (and putting “politics aside”), having known Speaker McCarthy for 25 years, he is a good person who works tirelessly and cares deeply about the future of the country. He deserves our respect and gratitude." - Congressman Porter
