Kevin McCarthy (far right), with his boss

Someone is very, very confused about how our system of government works, and that someone just happens to be the number two-ranking Republican in the House, California Rep. Kevin McCarthy:

Oh god. Do we have to pull out the Constitution? We have to pull out the Constitution. You know, it’s right there at the top, Article I, Section 2:

The House of Representatives shall be composed of Members chosen every second Year by the People of the several States….

Does McCarthy think that if Donald Trump calls him up and barks “You’re fired!”, he’s got to clean out his desk on the spot? Surely, you are thinking, that’s too stupid even for Kevin McCarthy, but then why in the hell did he say it in the first place?

Fortunately for McCarthy, he’s got us, and we’re going to teach him a very valuable civics lesson next year.

Donate $1 to each of our funds targeting vulnerable House Republicans and help turn McCarthy from majority leader to chief schnook.
