The fiasco surrounding McCarthy’s speaker bid would be less cringeworthy if Republicans' rationale made any sense whatsoever. (via MaddowBlog)
GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy’s bid to become House speaker. The South Carolinian soon after positioned himself as one of the five core “Never Kevin” members, steadfast in their opposition to the GOP leader.
On the surface, the obvious problem is that the far-right congressman is eager to create a debt-ceiling crisis, and he expects McCarthy to commit to joining him in the spectacularly dangerous endeavor. Or put another way, Norman’s question was, as a substantive matter, effectively gibberish. He can ask McCarthy to shut down the government, or he can ask McCarthy to push the nation into default, but to tie the two together simply doesn’t make sense.The South Carolina Republican has been on Capitol Hill for nearly six years, and he’s, which deals directly with issues like these. What’s more, Norman has helped create a political crisis of sorts, rejecting his own party’s nominee for speaker.
