Breaking news: McCarthy is very likely ousted as House speaker

CNN just reported that McCarthy will very likely be ousted as speaker based on the current ongoing voting. So far 7 House radicals have voted against the weasel.

By golly, the authoritarian radical right Republican Party is showing its incompetence, unfitness to govern and authoritarianism. McCarthy worked with Dems to keep the govt from shutting down, which in authoritarian radical right Republican dogma is treason.

Kevin McCarthy ousted as speaker in Republican-led House 
The Republican-led House voted Tuesday to oust Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) as speaker, the first such removal in congressional history. McCarthy’s removal was sought by hard-right members of his own party. Democrats did not provide votes that would have been needed to save him. The move puts the House in uncharted territory as it searches for a leader.

To Dems To Save My Speakership

The GOP leader is apparently counting on his own party to keep him in charge as his far-right flank prepares to try to oust him
He provided nothing and apparently got nothing. 


Context: Republicans cited the federal debt as a major reason for voting against McCarthy. In their usual insulting hypocrisy and gigantic double standard politics, they are silent about their own support for Trump's Dec. 2017 tax bill that created tax breaks for rich people and blew a huge hole in the federal deficit. The Hill reports:
“Chaos is Speaker McCarthy. Chaos is somebody who we cannot trust with their word,” Gaetz said on the House floor. “The one thing that the White House, House Democrats and many of us on the conservative side of the Republican Caucus would argue is that the thing we have in common: Kevin McCarthy said something to all of us at one point or another that he didn’t really mean and never intended to live up to.”

“I don’t think voting against Kevin McCarthy is chaos,” he continued. “I think $33 trillion in debt is chaos.”
Also note Gaetz calling his pro-dictatorship radical right caucus "conservative" when in fact they are corrupt pro-dictatorship liars and thugs.
