Republicans unfiltered on inability to govern
Much like the former Speaker who anointed him, Patrick McHenry offered a brutally honest take yesterday on the last few weeks of House GOP chaos:
-
“Perhaps the dumbest set of politics or decision making a majority party in this institution can make.”
-
“The facts and the circumstances of the last month will be viewed in history as well outside the normal bounds of this institution… That’s the nice way to say it.”
-
“It was not conceived of that the majority party in the Congress would commit political suicide on the floor and then not be able to put things back together.”
Or, as McHenry’s colleague Rep. Max Miller summed up: “Look, it’s not going to be great for ’24. I’m not optimistic about keeping a majority.”
DCCC Spokesperson Viet Shelton:
“McHenry and Miller just said the quiet part out loud: Republicans cannot govern and their continual lurch to the far-right will cost them their thin majority in 2024. They have no one to blame but themselves.”
