49. Uh, no, Democrats voting for that traitor trash scumbag

Would NOT have changed one single thing.

McCarthy was giving away the store to the Traitor Caucus in NOVEMBER. He knew he had to appease them, and he has turned himself inside out every day since 8 November to get their votes.

NOTHING the Democrats could have done would have changed any of that. Or any of what has happened since.

So top blaming Democrats for THEIR dysfunction. Democrats are in no way to blame for this seditious filth. THE FASCIST r THUGS ARE.

Never forget it.
