Republican House member calls McCarthy's ouster a 'bipartisan failure'

House Republicans are frantically trying to create some appearance of competence and non-chaos as Rep. Jim Jordan bullies his way toward the speakership. To that end, Rep. Larry Bucshon of Indiana had the audacity to repeatedly argue on CNN that the historic ouster of Kevin McCarthy as speaker “will go down as a bipartisan failure.” While he did acknowledge that Republicans initiated it, he said that Democrats should have saved McCarthy’s bacon out of respect for the institution.
