The biggest idiot of all was Kevin McCarthy.

Now they're all worried about getting primaried, but instead they should search for their spines.

Contrast it to 1973 when Barry Goldwater, Hugh Scott (Senate Minority Leader) and John Rhodes (House Minority Leader) went in and told Nixon he had to resign. A mere 7 years later a Republican won the White House in a 49 state landslide and they turned over 12 Senate seats and won back the chamber for the first time in 25 years.

McCarthy would say one thing, either privately to her or publicly. Then a very short period of time would pass and he would cave to Trump’s pressure. Trump was despised shortly after January 6th, and all it took was a couple people to tell him to go F himself, but they didn’t, and eventually his behavior became normalized all over again. Absolute loyalty or get primaried.
