4. McCarthy is a very weak man. He did exactly what Trump told him to do.

He refused to go along with a truly bipartisan committee with equal subpoena power. No committee, no investigation. When that didn’t work, and a different framework was adopted, he initially appointed Gym Jordan and Jim Banks, for the sole purpose of being in place to wreck the Committee. Pelosi had veto power, however, and exercised it on Jordan and Bank, but leaving in place other Republicans.

Trump told McCarthy to pick up his ball and go home, screaming partisan witch hunt. That way nobody would believe what the committee turned up. Now that didn’t work, so it has to be somebody’s fault. It can’t be Trump’s, so he’s blaming McCarthy for doing what he was ordered to do.

And Little Kevin still thinks he’s going to be Speaker. Isn’t that cute?
