Kevin McCarthy appears to have an endless appetite for being publicly humiliated. Read the latest from besslevin:
. On Tuesday, he lost the vote three times. On Wednesday, he recorded another three losses for a total of six. Obviously, all of this is extremely humiliating, but the California lawmaker apparently possesses an endless capacity for being publicly humiliated, and has no intention of throwing in the towel.
Of course, whether or not a win will ever actually come is very much up in the air, as the holdouts seem to have no intention of caving without extracting assurances from McCarthy that would render him entirely beholden to them. And while just giving them everything they want would not be a great negotiating tactic and still not ensure he finally scores those crucial votes, it appears McCarthy intends to go down that road.
And yet…going into Thursday it still wasn’t enough to put the California lawmaker out of his misery. Early Thursday afternoon, McCarthy lost again, and again.To mix things up, and perhaps further demonstrate the GOP is a joke, at one point Thursday, Rep.to serve as Speaker of the House. Spoiler alert, the former guy didn’t win this election either.
