We fight, We win
Republicans have controlled the House of Representatives for eight brief but exhausting months. Even by the standards of the GOP chamber’s nonstop chaos, though, McCarthy’s unprecedented ouster stood apart. The often-vitriolic speeches from pro- and anti-McCarthy factions revealed a party so deep in its own cultural revolution that the horizon line of rational governance no longer exists.
Just like so many cultural revolutions before it, the MAGA movement McCarthy won his Speakership by appeasing eventually came calling for his head. Now the Speaker’s chair is vacant — a fitting testament to a political movement that has spent much of the past year careening the nation from one avoidable national crisis to the next. It also leaves no question about how deeply the MAGA movement has embedded itself with the broader Republican Party. McCarthy’s fall completes that grim merger. The extremists now have the wheel.
