Republicans worry their big tent will mean big problems in 2022 elections
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) has pinned his hopes for reclaiming the majority in 2022 on never having to choose between the contradictory factions in his own party, no matter how deep the divisions appear.
He defended Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) after she voted to impeach President Donald Trump but also said he was unhappy with her after an outcry from Trump supporters. He said Trump bears responsibility for his slow response to the attack on the U.S. Capitol, but then, in voting against impeachment, said the president did not provoke the violence.
But his insistence on allowing every Republican a place under the GOPs big tent including conspiratorial firebrand Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) has magnified the Democratic argument that his party is accommodating extremist elements, some in his party fear.
Those worries began to play out Thursday after McCarthys decision not to punish Greene subjected Republicans to a public vote, called by Democrats, on whether to strip committee assignments from a colleague who has previously embraced the QAnon extremist ideology, suggested space lasers funded by Jewish wealth may secretly start forest fires and even liked comments wishing harm on Democratic leaders. The vote to defend her role in Congress 199 Republicans sided with her, to 11 against will almost certainly be used by Democrats in the coming months as a way of tarnishing vulnerable Republicans who opposed punishing Greene.

No, we can't, Kevin.
God knows we have tried.
But you people keep on bullying, making life hell for the less fortunate, for CHILDREN, you endanger our lives by turning masks and vaccinations into culture war issues, on and on, until you have sucked the last ounce of joy and hope out of our hearts.
And now you whine about us giving you a well earned ass whupping.
Eat shit, Kevin, then fuck off and die.
