Ex-House Speaker Kevin McCarthy's fall came because of a political animal hungry for attention, Rep. Matt Gaetz, backed by hard-right Republicans.
Winston Churchill warned, “You cannot reason with a tiger when your head is in its mouth.” Ousted U.S. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy should have listened. That’s apparently what Churchill said, anyway. We do know for certain that actor Gary Oldman, playing the British leader, said it forcefully in the movie “Darkest Hour.” Churchill was incredulous that anyone would consider negotiating with Adolf Hitler. McCarthy’s tiger that gobbled him up was a political animal hungry for attention, Rep.
Schiff and other Democrats were knocked off committees. On the good government side, McCarthy compromised with Biden and Democrats twice to prevent the U.S. from defaulting on its debt and to keep government doors open. That’s what irked the GOP renegades. On balance, didn’t McCarthy deserve to be spared by Democrats? “You can’t blame Democrats for voting against McCarthy,” says Jim Brulte, a former California state Republican chairman and GOP leader in both legislative houses.
