Cheney sees cratering support in House GOP as McCarthy says she isn’t ‘carrying out the message’

[Torie]

I hope that as she is deposed she leaves as much Pub blood (metaphorically speaking of course) on the floor as possible. The Pubs should pay a price for what they are doing, and their craven approach to dealing with the pathological narcissist, the "virus" that infects them against which there is no vaccine.

And from Politico, here is some unsubstantiated speculation as to a possible backstory of the drama. Yes, I want McCarthy to recount under oath that particular phone call that he had with Trump, word for word - all of it!

"— The other theory is a bit more interesting: You might have missed it, but last week Cheney seemed to endorse the idea of a 9/11-style commission to investigate Jan. 6. Her move came after Speaker NANCY PELOSI agreed to give equal subpoena power and representation to both parties. McCarthy has been notably holding out on making a deal, pushing Pelosi to expand the probe to include extremism on the left, too.

'The reality is that any bipartisan commission on Jan. 6 would almost certainly include a subpoena of McCarthy, whose call with Trump will become a central focus of any investigation. That would put McCarthy in a tough spot, forced to recount on record things Trump may not want out there. Some Republicans believe Cheney’s endorsement of the commission — undercutting McCarthy’s position — put him over the edge."
