CNN Reporter Hits Back At McCarthy's Attempt To 'Both Sides' GOP House Chaos
CNN's Mana Raju hit back at now former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy when he tried to blame Democrats for the chaos his fellow Republicans have caused by ousting him and not being able to come together on a replacement. Thankfully this was much better than the mealymouthed crap we've seen from the likes of Dancin' David Gregory or Mrs. Greenspan and useless Kristen Welker.
Raju ran into McCarthy shortly after the Republican conference nominated Jim Jordan (well below the necessary votes to actually get elected Speaker) to replace him.
When Raju pressed McCarthy on whether Republicans are ever going to come together on a consensus candidate and how many votes it might take to get through this, McCarthy tried blaming the Democrats for their disarray, and we actually got some push back from someone in our corporate media for a change:
RAJU: Well, why -- I mean, you don't think there should be another consensus candidate? Is there a consensus candidate at this point?
MCCARTHY: How many people have we gone through? You know? I think -- I think we'll be able to work this out and I feel comfortable that we'll get there. File comfortable that we'll get there.
