Legislator,
After three rounds of voting on Tuesday, it is clear that Representative Kevin McCarthy (CA) does not have the votes for Speaker of the House. McCarthy is on the record that he will continue these rounds of votes forever.
That is because Kevin McCarthy believes that it is his turn. I cannot believe you're entertaining this tantrum, especially in light of the facts as we know them.
Kevin McCarthy should be investigated for his role in the FTX scandal, and his use of funds from the scandalized crypto exchange should be audited.
Kevin McCarthy should be investigated for meddling in assembly and primary elections to overturn the will of the people at the most local levels.
Kevin McCarthy should be politically punished -- not rewarded -- for the failure of the 2022 "red wave," after he managed to lose dozens of winnable seats during a time of peak Democrat unpopularity.
But 202 Republicans believe Kevin McCarthy should be allowed to fail upward?
You should be embarrassed for supporting such an ineffective and ethical failure. The GOP is hemmoraging support, and the American People are struggling to understand that value we derive from our investment in Congress.
We are finished with the status quo. We want change. I want change.
Cancel Kevin McCarthy and nominate a serious candidate for Speaker of the House.
