Rep. Jim McGovern (Mass.):

“The truth is that Speaker McCarthy has lost control of this House, and it is being run by the MAGA fringe. This is nuts,” he continued. “Kids get shot in their classrooms, nothing. Environmental disasters destroy entire communities, nothing. Our air is clogged with smoke because half the Northern Hemisphere is on fire due to climate change, nothing. But when the MAGA wing nuts say, ‘Jump,’ Speaker McCarthy says, ‘How high?’”

Jim McGovern nailed it right on the head. Took the words right out of our mouths.
