Which allowed the GOP controlled house to elect a much more fashy religious zealot who will be waaaaay worse for the country?

Am I missing something here? How is this not the biggest "own goal" they have pulled in recent memory? Now we get to listen to endless whining by liberal media outlets about how evil the new anti-daddy of the week is?

Dems voting for McCarthy wouldn't have helped. It would have poisoned the well for much of the Rs and he would have been voted out in a subsequent vote. The only thing that could have worked was to sit it out and hope he wins with only R votes. It was surprising that he didn't win the vote
