Kevin McCarthy's 'nihilistic tormenters' have created a 'legislative train wreck' for the GOP: analysis

The House GOP is in a state of chaos at exactly the moment that House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) needs them to come together and vote on keeping the government open, lamented political analyst Stephen Collinson for CNN on Wednesday.

"Days of recriminations between far-right hardliners, moderates, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and his nihilistic tormentors reached a new peak on Tuesday in extraordinary scenes of inter-party infighting on the south side of the US Capitol," wrote Collinson. "The legislative train wreck made clear that more is now at stake than McCarthy’s loosening grip on a job he craved for years and the capacity of the GOP to fulfill the chamber’s most basic function – setting a budget to run the country."

GOP should worry more about MTG and Boebert's 'mental competency' than Joe Biden's: House member

At the end of an appearance on MSNBC's "Morning Joe," Rep. Jason Crow (D-CO) got off a shot at two of his Republican colleagues in the House after he was asked about concerns about President Joe Biden.

Initially speaking with the hosts about Alabama Republican Sen. Tommy Tuberville's hamstringing of the military over concerns about Pentagon abortion policies, Crow was asked in parting about attacks on Biden's "mental competency" from Republicans.

According to the Colorado Democrat, GOP leaders have a bigger problem on their hands that they need to deal with.

Boebert's 'explicit groping' video response shows she's in a panic about re-election: MSNBC panelist

With "Morning Joe" co-panelist Johnathan Lemire describing Boebert's actions including "explicit groping" -- much to the dismay of co-host Mika Brzezinski -- Kay noted Boebert's effusive apology and pointed out that it was completely out of character for the lawmaker who normally courts controversy.
