'Showing your ugly faces': Ex-GOP Rep. predicts ousting McCarthy will be 'demise of MAGA'

During Tuesday's episode of MSNBC's Chris Jansing Reports, former United States Representative Barbara Comstock (R-VA) shared her thoughts on Congress' upcoming vote on whether Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) will keep his role.

U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) announced Sunday, October 1 that he would move towards a vote to oust the speaker this week following McCarthy's Saturday, September 30 negotiation with President Joe Biden and the U.S. Senate to avert a government shutdown.

Ahead of House members' Tuesday, October 3 vote, Comstock told Jansing, "I think it's a very sad day for the institution to be brought to this. This is what MAGA has done, both to the institution, to the country, and you know, less to the party. I'm sad for the party, but I'm even more sad for the country and for the institution.

“For the party, they aren't hanging together and I think if they do this today, they're going to be hanging separately. And you know, that's what Matt Gaetz and his merry band of misfits will do — their very destructive force. It's a sad day but they don't have a plan. What are they going to do after this?"

“But this is what MAGA has done. So as someone who doesn't like what MAGA has done to the party — certainly it's even worse what they've done to the country — if they succeed in this, I think it will be sort of the demise of MAGA. And MAGA is also up in New York in the courts today."

“So I think everyone's seeing what a destructive, you know, force this is. In both the judicial branch and now in the legislative branch. So rah rah, MAGA, you are really showing your ugly faces today."
