Republican Rep. Tim Burchett told a tale of two speakers and Pelosi definitely came out the hero.
asked the lawmaker if he still supported McCarthy, Burchett said he had his doubts. He then veered into praise for Pelosi, who was often demonized by the GOP during her long reign as speaker and Democratic leader.“I have my questions. ... We need leadership, ma’am,” Burchett said. “We don’t need someone just to say we’ve got 218 votes or whatever that jumps on the train after it leaves the station.
“A lot of work goes into that,” Burchett continued. “But we’re not seeing that; I’m not seeing that work right now. And it’s very disappointing to me.” Collins noted how rare it was for a Republican to praise Pelosi. Burchett said they were friends and that the former speaker was kind to him when his daughter was badly injured in a horse-riding accident.Republican Rep. Tim Burchett criticizes McCarthy and then compliments Pelosi, saying"she was pretty successful ... a lot of work goes into that. But I'm not seeing that work right now.
