Speaker Vote: Far-Right G.O.P. Faction Throws House Into Chaos as McCarthy Is Ousted

The vote orchestrated by a group of far-right lawmakers leaves the House without leadership. The speaker was unable to manage a bitter power struggle within the Republican Party.

    The Republican party can stop denying women the right to control their bodies, stop denying science, stop censoring history, and stop othering anyone but Christian Cis Het White people any time they feel like it.

    But they won’t, because that’s their entire political identity. I ought to know; I was one of them for 20 some odd years.

      @CylustheVirus No, that isn’t their entire history. I’m sorry you’ve been convinced by corporate and blasphemous malcontents within the economical and religious underbelly of the many American cults within.

        Their history matters exactly zero compared to what they are doing now. Knowing that Republicans used to be the less shitty party but then it switched is academic.
