deniers holding their own party hostage. and i think that is really extraordinary. and this is the story of kevin mccarthy and the republican party. and i m really glad that you keep playing this out. this is not some group of bomb throwers against the grown-ups. this is not extremists against the establishment. kevin mccarthy has embraced and empowered the lunatic wing of his own party. if he becomes speaker, he will enpower marjorie taylor greene. so here you have this moment of extraordinary irony. in many ways, this is peak trumpism that you re seeing right now. and trump himself sitting down in brooding isolation in mar-a-lago is suddenly realizing that he can t control it. he didn t start this fire. it was a preexisting condition, but donald trump, like so many other republicans, thought they could control it.
tired of this pretty of the. i think a number of these so calderon insurgence, whatever you call them, they re actually putting their reelections at risk right now. people will look up and say how can you hold the entire party hostage. how can you hold the house hostage. who do you think are you to have this kind of authority. i talked with kevin early on and said just be aware, excuse me, last night they will come in with a whole new set. they came in last night with 30 additional demands. 307. thirty.that says i will vote noi want to tease and you play with you. think it s insulting to every member of the conference that stayed with kevin. a 203-207 choice. 2073 is a bigger number.
