McCarthy Somehow Claims He ‘Loved Every Day’ in Congress During Farewell Speech
Kevin McCarthy bid farewell to Congress on Friday with a sparsely attended address on the House floor, marking an end to 15 years in Congress bookended by his unprecedented ouster from the speakership and his resignation midway through his term.
His tenure culminated in him becoming the most powerful Republican lawmaker in the country, only to succumb to a handful of far-right detractors who orchestrated his removal—ending his tenure as House leader at just nine months and leaving the House in chaos for weeks.
Still, McCarthy claimed, he “loved every single day.”
