Republican clown show led by a weak Speaker McCarthy who is controlled by House crazies

Echo opinion letters to the editor published in The New York Times:

"In the midst of a contentious Republican primary, added to Donald Trump’s legal troubles and culture war fanatics, Mr. (GOP) McCarthy has become a leader of appeasement. This much was evident when it took 15 rounds of voting for him to even become speaker."

Republican McCarthy is the speaker of the clown show!

Re “McCarthy Opens Inquiry of Biden, (in failed attempt) to Appeasing Right” (front page NYTimes, Sept. 13): 

"Republican Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy’s announcement that the House of Representatives — which he leads with subservience to a vengeful far-right minority and a former president to whom he has sold his political soul — has opened a (fake!) impeachment inquiry into President Biden is clearly a low point in our politics," from  Kevin Li, Basking Ridge, N.J.

The Shakespearean Tragedy of Kevin McCarthy, Prince of Washington

The scheme by Republicans to punish the president, which comes without evidence, is a desperate gasp. It is motivated by former President Donald Trump’s persistent call for retribution and by congressional Republicans, whose only agenda has been one of obstruction, replacing meaningful efforts toward legislation that could benefit the American people.

The heavy weight of evidence supporting Donald Trump’s multiple indictments has not resonated with the vast majority of Republicans, who are determined at all costs to distract from his legal embroilment by elevating Biden family activities to a level of criminality.

In Kevin McCarthy, House Republicans have a leader whose actions, beginning with his tortuous unprincipled path to the speakership, have been focused solely on a need to preserve his fragile position.

Instead, McCarthy has embarked on a dubious mission in search of a crime, potentially at great cost to the country.
