House Democrats on Tuesday said they do not plan to save Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) when a vote on ousting him from the top spot hits the floor later in the day.
Emerging from a more than two-hour meeting in the Capitol, House Democrats said they will vote to oust McCarthy from the Speakership.
“We are following our leader and we are not saving Kevin McCarthy,” Rep. Pramila Jayapal, chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, told reporters.
Asked if a decision was made as a caucus not to support McCarthy, Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.) responded, “yes.”
This news follows McCarthy’s statement that he won’t give Dems anything to save his Speakership.
Who knew politicians were so bad at politics? Every Civilization player knows you need to offer things and honor your agreements to get cooperation. Maybe I should send Kevin a copy.
Unless the other party is Gandhi in Civ VI… Gandhi will form a coalition of nations just to fuck you up for even glancing his direction, ironically.
Nonexistence is the ultimate expression of nonviolence!
