Looks like Never-Kevins Matt Gaetz and Lauren Boebert were in a rush to get before cameras and announce they had wrung everything the possibly could out of what remains of McCarthy’s shriveled corpse and are now ready to ditch the other remaining hold outs and allow him to be Speaker after all.
Never is just not as long as it used to be…
Update: Word now is Boebert was supposed to be a “yea” and Gaetz a “present” but Boebert voted present throwing a wrench in the works. Looks like Gaetz is changing his vote.
Update II: Gaetz voted “present” again but so did other Never-Kevins effectively making McCarthy the Speaker if no yes votes on the previous ballots switch to voting for someone else. But Quevin will win without a majority vote.
And to think, McCarthy is doing all this just so he can be a weak speaker for 2 years, lose the majority in 2024, and become another failed politician turned lobbyist.

That’s the next great battle, General.
Didnt BoBo said she would be last woman standing and NO MATTER WHAT! she wouldnt vote for McCarthy

And you can always believe BoBo…
The whole House votes on the rules, so it doesn't matter what Kev gives away beforehand. Right?
— Skye Bissell 🇺🇦 🌻 (@cats_biden) January 7, 2023
Yeah, and without the new rules they can’t hide his chair right? Should be interesting.
I don't know why they'd bother voting for him when they've effectively neutered him.
I hope Kevin reneges on everything.

Might as well, Kevin, they are gonna come for you in any case…
I want to know EXACTLY what he was promised, to make him look so weirdly GIDDY
— darsi (@darsi0763) January 7, 2023
Yeah, it’s not like Quevin has a pardon in his pocket.
He lost like a Trumper. Not a admitting he lost

Yup
So much for his promised resignation if its Speaker Kevin.

As if.
Sure, I trust this guy to make my life better. 🙄

Does Kevin survive January without the first vote to remove him?
— Hal 🇺🇦 (@HG_NYC) January 7, 2023
Nope.
And BoBo rolled over like a puppy getting a tummy rub. Tough guys, all around. 🙄

This CNN hot mic is literally everyone in America after hearing McCarthy say “It’s not how you start it’s how you finish” 🤣pic.twitter.com/AQhimwowpD

Yup
Just read they vote “present”. What a couple of sleaze weasels.
Like Chester Riley said: What a revolting development this turned out to be.
I’m gonna TiVo the late night rules fight.
