McCarthy knows he cant get a bill through the Senate so what value was that? He had the power of the purse, the only real tool in the HOR now, and he squandered it more than once.

McCarthy made promises he never planned on keeping because he had made a deal with Pelosi that she would make sure the democrats voted for him should a motion to vacate the chair be filed. He trusted her. She lied (of course and as usual). Anyone who trusts Pelosi doesn’t need the speaker’s gavel.
