More of this backbone…

“You can’t buy me off, scare me away, or #intimidate me into #resigning. I’m angry, spiteful, & resolute in holding the line…”

“The user also noted that he & 12 other coworkers would be wearing “Rebel Alliance” T-👕under their work clothes every Friday in the office.”

“They just created the imaginary deep state they convinced everyone they were fighting against…
Oh, the irony!”

#McCarthy suggests that Matt #Gaetz is not a real #conservative, after voting w/ #Democrats against #GOP spending bills. “It had nothing to do about spending," he said, adding, "It was all about getting attention.”

McCarthy says he “hasn’t thought about” #resigning from Congress. There is some precedent for that: When John #Boehner faced a motion to vacate in 2015, he relinquished the speaker’s gavel & resigned rather than face a vote on the #House floor.
