I thought Paul Ryan had an ounce of sense in his brain?

He has said “there’s no one better suited for the job than Kevin”. His comments were inference to the Kevin McCarthy being the Speaker of the House!

Boy, was I ever wrong and they all are in love with who ever has power!

McCarthy was widely ridiculed for being a terrible speaker, with multiple clips showing how bad he was trying to give speeches.

I think Ryan is being tongue in cheek about how bad the rest of the Republican caucus is, that McCarthy is the 'best-suited' for the job. He also might be referencing Jim Jordan's clothing choices. At least McCarthy keeps his jacket on.
