On June 15, 2016, McCarthy told his fellow Republicans, “There’s two people I think Putin pays: Rohrabacher and Trump.” (Former Republican Rep. Dana Rohrabacher earned a reputation as one of Russia’s biggest congressional supporters.) McCarthy added at the time, “Swear to God.”

According to the recording, then-House Speaker Paul Ryan immediately interjected, insisting that the assembled Republicans — some of whom were heard laughing at the comments — not tell anyone about what McCarthy had just said.

“No leaks,” Ryan said at the time, adding, “This is how we know we’re a real family here.”

1. Never forget

2. Any sane rethug (oxymoron?) would have run as fast as possible from becoming speaker.

A very thin edge in votes, no agenda, crazed factions like MTG, TFG as the face of the party.
As we saw in the 15 vote debacle, Kevin is a masochist.
