Former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) had a fiery exchange with reporters Friday about the House’s ongoing dilemma, blaming Democratic members for bringing “chaos to Congress.”
After House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) was nominated for the top position on Friday evening, lawmakers went on recess for the weekend without bringing a vote to the House floor.
CNN’s Manu Raju questioned McCarthy on whether acting Speaker Patrick Henry (R-N.C.) should take on more power since the House’s divisiveness has stalled Congress. Deflecting the question, the California Republican shifted blame to the Democrats for the Speakership drama.
“So they’ve really stymied, they brought chaos in … Congress and now they’ve tried to stymie our ability to have continuity of Congress, which I think is a real problem, what the Democrats have done,” McCarthy said.

Meanwhile, on October 3rd…
McCarthy says he won’t give Democrats anything in exchange for support as Speaker
He wouldn't even give the Democrats what he had already agreed to give them.
Matt Gaetz is the one who brought chaos. The "Freedom Caucus" that wants nothing other than cruelty and authoritarianism. And Kevin McCarthy himself, for letting himself be taken advantage of by them.
If you're a Republican who wants to see an end to chaos, it's trivially easy to vote for Hakeem Jeffries.
And he's the one who agreed to the whole "one person can oust me" thing in the first place.
Not our circus, not our monkeys, Congressman - should've kept your clowns in order.
Yeah, but then they won't get reelected because without their fanatic, authoritarian base, Dems always win.
Don't threaten me with a good time.
Seems like so far dems were winning anyway, because of the trump fanaticism. Even the house they got only because of heavy gerrymandering.
Conservatives only say that shit because they mistakenly think we take them seriously, and because conservatives think it is fun to lie.
You forgot that he insulted the Democrats right before the vote and was surprised that he lost the vote. From what I heard on NPR there was a chance the Democrats might go along with it. After reneging on the budget the sham impeachment and the insults I think the Democrats threw up their hands this is your mess we are done propping you up.
Um no...I didn't forget any of the BS McCarthy pulled. I posted the link because prior to the vote he said he didn't need the help of Democrats as he is now blaming Democrats for the shit he caused.
What a freeloader, Mccarthy wants something for doing nothing? He should pull himself up by his bootstraps and stop depending on handouts.
