Having debased himself with Donald Trump in the name of fundraising only to be humiliated by his own colleagues who put him through the ringer to get the House speaker’s gavel and then ejected him from the job shortly thereafter, Kevin McCarthy, who once declared, “I never quit,” announced he is quitting Congress. Rep. Jamie Raskin talks with Alex Wagner about Kevin McCarthy sacrificed his spine for Donald Trump and ended up with nothing.
Hat tip for this blog over at MSNBC’s channel on YouTube: Debased, disgraced and replaced: McCarthy quits with half a term left (youtube.com)
Kevin McCarthy has been a disgrace as a Republican leader and an absolute train wreck as Speaker of the House. He was an embarrassment to the southern Central Valley and big black eye Clovis. Hopefully we can send someone to fill his seat that won’t be such a Trump sycophant.
