Following GOP House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy’s decision to not run for Speaker of the House, a Democratic House lawmaker mocked the complete disarray the Republicans find themselves in by running a Craigslist ad seeking a babysitter with experience dealing with “irrational people” to lead the party.

Rep. Mark Takano (D-CA) tweeted out an image of the mocking ad, writing: “It seems like we’re having a hard time finding the next Speaker, so I created a Craigslist ad to boost our search. ”

Takano was referring to McCarthy — once considered a shoo-in to be the next House Speaker — who stepped aside after getting push-back from the hard right Freedom Caucus, saying he thought his selection might be too divisive.

According to Takano’s mock ad seeking a Speaker of the House: ” Are you an American citizen? Do you have experience negotiating hostage situations? Are you ready for the challenge of a lifetime? Then this job is for you!”..............
