You suggest in your opening that, in order to become Speaker, Mr. McCarthy had to betray his principles. Are you able to identify any that he held?

He had principles for one hour when he spoke out against the insurrection. He lost it when he went to Trump and kissed his shoes. Though to be fair, he lost it when he voted against certifying Biden.

McCarthy didn't kiss Trump's shoes, Eva. What he kissed, long and lovingly, was about 3 joints (and I'm talking skeletal articulations, not paper-wrapped vegetation) further north.
