Schwab: McCarthy is House Speaker, but who has the mic?
By Sid Schwab / Herald columnist
So obvious is the corruption of Kevin McCarthy and the process that dangled him above the House Speaker’s podium fifteen times in four days, that everything about it has already been said.
I disagree, though, with those saying he sold his soul. If any remained, that happened two years previously. For the briefest of moments back then, he blamed the insurrection on its source: Donald Trump. Only hours later, he backtracked and make tracks to Mar-a-Lago. And now, nearly his first words after glomming the gavel were in groveltude to Trump, whose pathological election lies are responsible for everything that happened before and since. Including Ashli Babbitt, who died for his sins.
Voters against certification of the fraud-free election, which includes McCarthy, now control the “people’s chamber,” representatives whose disrespect for democracy was and remains writ largesse.
“It was democracy in action,” they professed, referring to the 15 votes and physical confrontations preceding Kevin’s Peter-principled installation. Like the gerrymandering, voter suppression and lies that elected them to Congress, it was, in fact, the opposite: a 10 percent minority demanding and receiving concessions they tried to keep secret (tinyurl.com/infonot4u).
