    It didn’t read that way to me. This could be the end of McCarthy as speaker because he worked with Democrats. Did you see the paragraph:

    Jim McGovern, a Democrat from Massachusetts, offered a simple commentary as he left the floor following the vote: “We won.”

      The headline made it sound like the Republicans avoided it; that’s all. You know most Republicans don’t read anything more than a headline. :) I’m mostly frustrated with that is all. The context almost always leans differently.

      Any Republican who reads that, what do you think they read? I know what I think, and, unfortunately, as an observer of those people’s reactions, I’m positive that’s how they’ll read it.

        Well Republicans control the house so it was factually a Republican who sided with Democrats over the Republican freedom caucus.

        But now comes the speaker fight. And whoever becomes speaker gets the albatross of the biden impeachment around their neck.
