CREAMED KEVIN: Twitter annihilates McCarthy after losing three rounds of Speaker votes
No one is going to let Rep. Kevin McCarthy forget how he confidently moved his things into the Speaker’s Office in the Capitol the day before being MAGA-blocked from the role in three humiliating rounds of House voting that delivered McCarthy the worst day of his political career.
The schadenfreude was running hot all day Tuesday on Twitter, where everyone from politicians to celebrities to anyone left who’s allowed to freely tweet watched McCarthy repeatedly fall on his face as he sat and listened to his colleagues alternatively praise and mock him, depending on which compromised loser was speaking.
Elise “Trashy” Stefanik, who’s so ambitious she would probably sell her own baby if she found out Donald Trump didn’t like it, tried to make a speech about McCarthy, but it just came out like “I’m a giant trashbag traitor.”
Or maybe that was just my TV.
Nice friend, Trashy! I guess it’s fine to hang out with other opportunistic liars as long as you’re both lying about the same things.

By the time Jim Jordan started racking up votes thanks to Matt Gaetz, Twitter was already in full roasting mode.
It’s just hilarious that McCarthy didn’t see any of this coming.
When a former GOP Congressman says another GOP Congressman is done, he’s probably done.
There's nothing left Kevin McCarthy can do. He's done.

Everyone was stomping on Kevin’s back all day.
Little Steven channeled Silvio Dante and chimed in on the Lincoln Project’s musical thread of loser songs for the loser. Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) bluntly tweeted that “no Democrat is going to help Kevin McCarthy.” Hakeem Jeffries got support from Matt Gaetz.
2023 is coming in hard, y’all.
Enjoy this roundup of McCarthy mauling with the knowledge that we’ll get more on Wednesday when the vote resumes at noon.

Kevin Mccarthy must have read The Art of the Deal before negotiating for votes to become Speaker

Let me put this to rest for the media reporting this: there is no House Democrat who is going to help Kevin McCarthy today.

You thought the crying coming from the cloakroom was Kevin McCarthy, but it was this adorable Democratic baby who was stunned by the incompetence of the GOP. https://t.co/dhxvfmlzDF
