Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) said Tuesday that he would not give Democrats anything in exchange for their votes to help save his Speakership, after Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) moved to force a vote on ousting him.

“They haven’t asked for anything. I’m not going to provide anything,” McCarthy said in an interview on CNBC’s “Squawk Box.”

    I especially love the way he was completely oblivious to the irony in this statement:

    “And that’s the question it has to be: Are we now in a situation in our government that we just provided keeping government open, that we’re going to play politics with how you become Speaker? If that’s the case, then I think we got real problems,” he continued.

      This fucking dipshit is practically begging the Democrats to vote for Hakeem Jefferies. He’s given them just enough rope to hang himself with.

      Anyway, hope the Dems in the House see what we do and send this twerp packing.
