This makes me sad. I have always respected the Speaker. But he is mistaking friendship for support. In the 1990s, Newt had to ruffle a lot of feathers snd take hard stands— snd he did. He needs to let this situation play out. McCarthy undoubtedly has a tough job, but back room deals with the opposition that are totally opposite his agreement with his own party is a huge deal breaker. He cannot be trusted.
