[Raven123]

[debm55]

[Takket]

5. oh yeah sure. and i went to McDonalds because I was craving a salad.

[senseandsensibility]

6. I don't believe that for one second

First, he didn't feel bad about Jan. 6. Second, he wouldn't punish himself
even if he did by not eating.

[Kali]

22. he may have felt bad

that it didn't actually work

[Blue Owl]

7. Pfffffttt...

[milestogo]

I guarantee it.

[OAITW r.2.0]

9. More like a come to Satan moment.

He was called down to the Mobster's HQ for a complete takeback of his comments on 1/6.

[TurboDem]

10. I only have two words...

Bull and shit!

[JoseBalow]

12. You would think that a member of congress

could come up with better bullshit than that

[PatSeg]

15. Well, we are talking about Kevin McCarthy now

He doesn't have a reputation for being super bright. It is astounding that he ever got as far as he did.

[JoseBalow]

17. You make a very good point

He's the epitome of an empty suit

[PatSeg]

19. Perfect description for him

[johnnyfins]

13. Probably didnt eat in that hour.

[johnnyfins]

14. And btw...

Kevin McCarthy is gonna cheer him up?

[republianmushroom]

16. mccarthy lies a lot.

[LymphocyteLover]

Love it! FUCKING MORONS.

[DemocraticPatriot]

20. "Not eating" ? That was probably the best thing for him,

for a little while.....

and for the planet

[Bernardo de La Paz]

21. Cover story for plot to raise up McCarthy, ending with Speaker role. . . . nt

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

23. How is this a problem?

[bucolic_frolic]

24. Aww! Traitor had a sad

Not eating? I doubt that very very much.

[PortTack]

25. A proven fact: Kevin will say or do ANYTHING that he thinks will further his political future

[rsdsharp]

26. Kevin had to make an emergency Starbursts run.

27. McCarthy was worried that TFG would start third party

TFG has repeatedly threatened to start a third party if the GOP did not do what TFG wanted. McCarthy and the RNC were worried that TFG would start a third party and kill the GOP. TFG is still making these threats
If TFG loses the GOP primary, TFG will either run as a third party or tell his voters to stay home.

Trump’s tried-and-true tactic for inducing acquiescence among Republican Party elites would be to threaten an independent presidential bid if he seems likely to lose the nomination. That mere possibility produced a mad, humiliating scramble during his 2016 run. Then-Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus tried to hem Trump in by compelling him to sign a “pledge” in support of the GOP and its candidates — a document Trump treated with deserved contempt. Priebus’s threat of “consequences” for failing to live up to this loyalty oath was empty then and emptier now: There are no credible “consequences” attached to violation.

The same apprehension that paralyzed the party in 2016 could immobilize the GOP today if Trump threatens to bolt with his share of the Republican base. Even if that warning never materializes, Trump can still make the party's life miserable for its members. In fact, it’s hard to see how he doesn’t. .....

28. McCarthy went there to make nice with Donald Trump because Donald Trump is threatening to open up a third party

If TFG formed a third party, the GOP would be split. McCarthy and the GOP were worried about this which is why McCarthy gave into TFG

Navarro was first to chime in, and she didn’t mince words as she described the sorry state of her party. “This has been such a sad week for the Republican Party,” she said. “They had a chance to get rid of the cross they’ve been bearing with Donald Trump, who has divide the party and opened it up for all sorts of nut jobs.”

“Instead, what we see is Kevin McCarthy, who has been all over the place, going down, making a pilgrimage to what’s going to become, now, the Republican Mecca,” continued Navarro. She proceeded to take a swipe at Mar-a-Lago’s “vintage bordello look” before turning her attention back to McCarthy’s meeting. “He went there to make nice with Donald Trump because Donald Trump is threatening to open up a third party if Republicans don’t continue kissing his ring, among other body parts,” she said. “I think that’s pathetic.”
