"SNIP........
Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) described to Charlie Sykes what he was thinking when House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy moved to expel Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) from the GOP leadership: Kevin McCarthy has just empowered his greatest enemy.
Said Kinzinger: Because he thought she would go away. And I gotta tell you, she aint going away. And instead, he looks like a feckless, weak, tired man, who is doing the bidding of whatever Marjorie Taylor Greene thinks is going to raise her money that day.
He added: Ive been clear about my thoughts on Kevin McCarthy
Even if he does somehow become speaker, hes going to have to have a good cell phone plan because he will be calling Marjorie Taylor Greene every day asking her what he can and cant do. I mean, my goodness, having the title of speaker but being subservient to a sophomore in Congress whos crazy
Why would you even do that?
