And what I hear almost everywhere I go is this sense of angst, this divisiveness."

And I'm sure the Democrats are wringing their hands over the acrimony as well, and crying just as many hypocritical tears as Gowdy it. The complete lack of bipartisanship has been many years in the making and is the product of both sides of the aisle.

Generally you don't see one side or the other talking about bipartisanship unless they are out of power or expect that they soon will be. Gowdy must be sweating the 2018 elections.

Good point.
I’m hoping Gowdy’s behavior means he knows that some GOP want him out and replaced by a more conservative republican who votes that way, not just talks the talk. Soon McCain won’t be around to offer support. Lindsey Graham may be distracted in dealing with that power void.
