I don't speak Republican word salad. Please translate Mr. Former Speaker's statement: "It sent a clear message to those who just want chaos and wanna work with the Democrats: that doesn’t work." Which Agents of Chaos want to work with Democrats?

Remember when Dems bailed him out on the budget deadline and then he bad-mouthed them the next day on TV? If you are Kevin McCarthy, you don't have to make sense or tell the truth. Just run your mouth and hope that the people listening aren't critical thinkers. (When they are Republicans, they usually aren't.)

I think it was more like "you're ugly and you smell bad too" (insofar as it had any actual meaning).

For somebody who thought being Speaker of the House was the thing he coveted most in the world, to say "work with the other party" as an insult is ... oh xit never mind.

I found that baffling, since HE worked with Democrats and POTUS.

He’s a sad little man. I bet Bakersfield is really boring after the well-oiled machine that is the House.
