He has abnegated his sworn responsibilities as speaker in favour of toadying and assuaging a demented and irrational lawbreaker acting as POTUS. Hell is not hot enough for him.

(3,508 posts)Confronted by King Charles, refusing to give the names of members of Parliament on the grounds that he "has neither the eyes to see nor the tongue to speak" but "as this House is pleased to direct me." A wonderful precedent demonstrating the privilege of the legislative branch and its independence from the executive. And that was against a King - not even something so temporal as a President!
The Speaker of the House, arguably the 2nd most powerful position in government, has been reduced by this low, weak, vulgar man and his disgusting cowardice.
I hope he knows that he shames the God he proclaims to believe in.
When you are a pale mockery of Kevin McCarthy, you are really really worthless.
Please do not interpret this as praise of Kevin McCarthy, whose humiliation was so delicious it sustained me for weeks. It is just that Johnson has so cravenly and utterly hollowed out this august office.
Of course, former Speaker Hassert didn't help with his diddling.
How far, far, far we have fallen. And how fast.
