    Now wait a minute…I thought they liked McCarthy SOOOO much, they were willing to vote for him as speaker 15 times in a row just this year?

      The first 14 times McCarthy failed to get voted in. They disliked McCarthy so much it took 15 votes to get them in the first place.

        Correct. And instead of fixing the issue…here we are. But hey, they got a beefier salary out of it.
