WATCH: DCExaminer senior columnist Salena Zito says voters didn’t send GOP to Congress to be ‘disruptors’
“I think what we first need to think about is the House of Representatives is the body of government in Washington that is closest to who we are. So it shouldn’t be a surprise that it was all over the place. Because American politics is all over the place,” Zito said Saturday afternoon on Fox News Live.
Zito explained that McCarthy eventually gave up a lot of power as the “demands of the small” became more boisterous. Some voters in the party became frustrated as their needs were drowned out by infighting, she said. “I think where people began to lose their patience with this was when it became about getting positions of power and not about getting things done,” Zito added.
“The speaker isn’t just the speaker for Republicans. He is the speaker of 435 people. And to always have this hung over your head. it’s going to make it very difficult to govern,” she said.
