Two months. He’s been in the position for two months but yes the absolute worst right? Gimme a break. Your extreme bias is showing

I mean, can you name another speaker in recent history that was in the same position as McCarthy? He's on a short leash that's being held by Gaetz, Boebert, Gomer, etc. Did you forget how Gaetz went out of his way to make McCarthy's road to speaker as humiliating as possible? Biden's administration has already said there won't be any negotiations regarding the debt ceiling. Everyone knows he isn't really in charge of anything. He has a weak hand.

Edit - I guess my basic point is, I can't think of any politician openly capitulating to a small group within his own party like he did. It was embarrassing.
