Speeches usually use words to express ideas. Unless you are Kevin McCarthy.
For someone who wants to be speaker of the House, Kevin McCarthy is very bad at speaking.
Usually, when you give a speech (one example would be the Gettysburg Address, which McCarthy invoked several times during his remarks), you try to express ideas using words. Unless you are Kevin McCarthy.
“Lithuania has a long history,” McCarthy (R-Calif.) informed us, almost two hours into his speech, and truly out of nowhere, “with the big controlling countries next to them that try to push them around.”
(This speech, for context, was delivered in the middle of the debate over the Build Back Better bill, in order to delay its passage by what turned to be 8½ hours. It was meant to relate in some way to the Build Back Better bill.)
