McCarthy had the nerve to say he is not a quitter. No, the truth is that he gave away his power to insurrectionists. Kevin McCarthy is not an American that believes in democracy. Power is the GOP's addiction #SpeakerInNameOnly

Did anyone else feel like watching #KevinMcCarthy negotiate to become #HouseSpeaker was uncomfortably similar to watching #Netanyahu form the latest Israeli government? #118thCongress #Speakerofthehouse #SpeakerInNameOnly #SeditionCaucus #ElectionDeniers #January6th #houseofrepresentatives https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/01/06/mccarthy-house-speaker-vote-insurrection-by-other-means/

Hot Mic. Dana Bash reacts during McCarthy news brief speech. "Oh for Christs sake."

New habit.
Hitting mute button whenever McCarthy starts yapping.

@w7voa Mr. Paper Tiger, who has already given up almost all of his power, now thinks he can actually call the shots? He is now beholden to a bunch of bomb throwers who are bent on destroying the entire government. #SpeakerInNameOnly

@JillWineBanks It will be interesting to see how long the #SINO (#SpeakerInNameOnly) lasts.

@w7voa

Ah so that's what he promised Trump to get his support

A couple thoughts:
1. Kevin McCarthy is #SpeakerInNameOnly. The moment that the House has had enough of him he's gone.
2. This does not spell out disaster for our country. I think we will see a lot of moderate Republicans not on board with the HFC bull.
3. We must be more vigilant than ever to withstand the incoming onslaught of fascism.

@jbf1755 Apparently some Republicans have said they will vote against the rules package. This is not over, and is going to be messy. So #KevinMcCarthy is only #SINO (#SpeakerInNameOnly).

@MeidasTouch #KevinMcCarthy is only #SINO (#SpeakerInNameOnly). The Republicans likely don't have the votes to pass a rules package. This ain't over.

@stopgopfox And that is why #KevinMcCarthy is only #SINO (#SpeakerInNameOnly).

the fact that the other 5 had to vote present just to give McCarthy the gavel shows he won't have 218 votes to do anything he is weak and small 😂😂 #speakerinnameonly

I still won't watch the swearing in but am no longer as worried about Pelosi because I now see how small and pathetic McCarthy is he doesn't have the guts to hit her with the gavel. Getting physical just to get the speakership tonight showed me that along with being defeated 14 times in a row. #uspolitics #house #speakerinnameonly
