    It’s funny for a few reasons.

    1. Repubs don’t like to admit they make mistakes. Naming McCarthy Speaker was clearly a mistake.

    2. The vote was called (purportedly) because McCarthy sought dem votes to avoid the shutdown. But guess who also voted to oust McCarthy? Dems.

      Reminder that Gaetz was a big problem back when the speaker was being voted in, as well.

      I wonder why you see McCarthy being their speaker as a mistake? I feel you must know more about the situation than I do. I also can’t think of any names that were being floated back then that would have been a better fit.
