This isn't true, though. Oh, I mean, yes, Gaetz is a pedophile who trafficked and raped a child. But that's not why McCarthy was made a fool.

It's because he hitched his wagon to a group of delusional Trumpanzees instead of honoring any of the agreements he made with the Dems. Dems are always so eager to shake hands across the aisle (fuck if I know why). It would have been a simple matter to have them vote against disruptive Trumpanzee MAGA shit if he had been an honest and fair speaker.

Yeah, that's the real story. They're all shithead extremists and their party is eating itself.

Ya, but it's almost a meaningless title at this point. Can you name any true moderate right-winger at any level currently?
