    No reason to feel bad for McCarthy. The entire reason he was able to be voted out so easily was because of concessions he had to make with Gaetz and co to get the speakership in the first place.

    Had he compromised and worked with the conservative/centrist Democrats, he wouldn’t be nearly as weak as he ended up being.

    He compromised with a child sex trafficer, and this is what he got.
