Lawrence on McCarthy: No speaker has ever reached so low for so little

Well, Kevin McCarthy may be the weakest, least intelligent man to

ever

serve as Speaker of the House, but it would be grotesquely unfair to call Kevin McCarthy the stupidest man to

ever

serve as Speaker. That title goes to this guy who was quickly convicted by a jury today on all eight criminal charges, including four felonies he committed while sitting in that chair. He stupidly thought he was sitting in Speaker Nancy Pelosi's chair in her office, but in reality he was sitting at the desk of Emily Barrett, who served as Speaker Pelosi's director. operations and now works for House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries after being convicted today.

Richard Barnett went home to his Arkansas home to await sentencing after saying this outside court, this is not a jury of my peers. I do not agree with the decision if it is by a jury of his peers, Mr. Barnett, he means white Trump voters in Arkansas, then he should not have committed crimes for Donald Trump in Washington D.C., unfortunately for Mr. Barnett, who now faces a maximum sentence of 20 years for his felony convictions. Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Green cannot serve in Washington D.C. sworn because she is a resident of Georgia, recently said that if she had organized the January 6th attack on the Capitol, everyone, quote, would have been armed, which elicited no response from Kevin McCarthy, which was perfectly fine with him, there was a time wasn't long ago when a member of the House of Representatives would be expelled for saying something like that in the pre-Trump era of the House of Representatives, but now in Kevin McCarthy's house, Marjorie Taylor Green is being rewarded after saying that may choose committee assignments. after being removed from committees in the last Congress when Speaker Nancy Pelosi led a bipartisan vote on the House floor to remove Marjorie Taylor Green because, among other things, as the New York Times reports today, she had questioned whether a plane actually crashed into the Pentagon on September 11, 2001 and supported the executions of Democratic politicians, including Speaker Nancy Pelosi and President Barack Obama, in that same New York Times report Kevin McCarthy gets another cover entry of the New York Times, another entry in the record books of the The strangest and most stupidly expressed things ever said by a

speaker

of the House Kevin McCarthy is quoted in the New York Times today saying "I will never leave that woman, I will always take care of her " and he wasn't talking about his wife of 31 years.

The mother of his two children Kevin McCarthy can only hope that no one in Bakersfield, California, is reading the New York Times today because when he said "I will never leave that woman," he was talking about her, she is talking about Marjorie Taylor Green, one by Kevin. McCarthy's wedding vows in his political marriage to Marjorie Taylor Green and other House Republican extremists is that he will fire Congressman Adam Schiff Carson Eric Swalwell and Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, of course, the big problem with him firing a member of Congress it's the Constitution that can Don't do it, what he meant when he raised money on the idea that he would fire these members of Congress is that he would prevent them from serving on the intelligence committee and the Foreign Affairs committee.

Today, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries fired back at Kevin McCarthy. for trying to get revenge two and four Marjorie Taylor Green by removing these three Democrats who will be joining us in a moment from these committees, Leader Jeffries addressed the issue of the intelligence committee specifically because the Speaker of the House has final approval of that committee because it's a select committee and it has final approval from bipartisan members of the intelligence select committee. Leader Jeffrey told the 117th Congress that two members were removed from their committee assignments after a bipartisan House vote found them unfit. to serve on standing committees for directly inciting violence against their colleagues, this action was taken by both Democrats and Republicans given the severity of the conduct involved, particularly after a violent insurrection, an attack on the Capitol, does not serve as a precedent nor justification for the removal of Representatives Schiff and Swalwell given that they have never displayed violent thoughts or behavior, at the same time that Republicans have threatened clearly qualified Democratic members with good positions on the intelligence committee.

Serial fraudster George Santos has been placed on two House standing committees and welcomed to his conference, removing Congressman Omahar from the House Foreign Affairs committee would normally require a full vote of the House Representatives and, as we have seen with the election of Kevin McCarthy as Speaker, winning a majority of votes in the House is not easy for Kevin McCarthy. Today, Congresswoman Omar released a public letter about her committee assignments this Congress saying that I would also be honored to continue serving on the Foreign Affairs Committee, where I could continue to offer a unique perspective as a Somali American, a refugee, and the only African-born member of Congress, the McCarthy 3 are important to Kevin McCarthy as a symbol of the kind of power he would like to have, but there is nothing on Kevin McCarthy's legislative agenda, President Biden will ever sign it into law and none of it will pass . the United States Senate Kevin McCarthy will accomplish exactly nothing as House Speaker Kevin McCarthy knows that is why the McCarthy 3 are so important to him Kevin McCarthy wants to remove these three Democrats from those committees to show the Republicans who can really do better.

The

speaker

wants to use McCarthy 3 as his personal fundraising tool for the next two years. No speaker has ever stooped so low to try to accomplish so

little

because he was incapable of accomplishing anything else.
