'Moved to tears': GOPer targets colleagues who booted McCarthy in 'super snarky' letter

Matt Gaetz and Nancy Mace were among the Republicans who received a "super snarky" letter from a colleague on Saturday.

Gaetz and seven other Republican representatives were responsible for booting Kevin McCarthy from the speakership, which resulted in the ongoing chaos we're seeing right now. Those eight far-right Republicans pushed hard to elect Jim Jordan as the new speaker and, when it became clear he couldn't clear the needed votes, they offered a "pound of flesh" in the form of potential censure, as long as Jordan is the new speaker.

That offer was apparently not appreciated by California Republican Rep. Tom McClintock. McClintock has reportedly pushed for the reinstallation of McCarthy to the speaker position.

In a letter addressed to his eight "wayward colleagues," McClintock took the "martyrs" to task.

"Your letter of October 20, in which you graciously offer to martyr yourselves as long as you can get your way, is perhaps the most selfless act in American history," he began in the letter. "We truly don't deserve you."

The congressman also sarcastically needled the notion that the minority should be controlling the rest of the GOP conference.

"But your sacrifice is not in vain," the letter says. "You have succeeded in replacing the outdated concept of majority rule with an exciting new standard that a Speaker must be elected by 98.2 percent of the Republican conference."

He continued:

"Someday, a messiah will be born unto us who can achieve this miraculous threshold, and on that day your judgment will be vindicated and you will be hailed as the geniuses that you are."

The letter was flagged by Politico Congress reported Olivia Beavers. She said, "Super snarky McClintock letter to the 8 who voted to oust McCarthy… 'we truly don’t deserve you,'" Beavers wrote Saturday. "Notes the world burning too."
