LOL! Charlie Rangel Makes Himself Smoothie To Watch House GOP Chaos [View all]

Made myself a smoothie in my office & watching news about GOP mtg to elect next Speaker not going smoothly

Rep. Charlie Rangel (D-NY) made a smoothie to watch the House GOP descend into chaos on Thursday following House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) quitting the race for speaker.

McCarthy (R-CA) said Thursday afternoon he was dropping out of the race for House Speaker, despite the fact that he was largely considered the favorite to win.

Rangel reacted by posting a couple photos from his office.
