This just makes the fact that Democrats axed McCarthy look silly.

Surprising votes on the motion to table the Johnson ouster:

-Josh Harder, John Garamendi, and Pat Ryan voting "no" with Progressives

-Some of the McCarthy ousters voting "yes" to keep Johnson like Gaetz, Rosendale, Burchett, Good, and Mace.
 
-Boebert voting "yes": mainly out of spite because she and MTG hate each other? It seems like she and MTG take turns being the one sticking it to the establishment and Caucus leadership.

-Ilhan Omar breaking with the rest of The Squad and many in the Progressive Caucus to vote "Present" instead of "no"

-Becca Balint voting "yes" - probably the most Progressive House member to do so.

-Eric Burlison voting "no" - I didn't know he was as much of a hardliner as this

-Alex Mooney voting "no" - he's pretty Trumpy but is he in the top 10 most isolationist/deficit hawk members of the House GOP? Probably not. I bet this is a last ditch attempt to win the Senate primary that he's going to get destroyed by Jim Justice in.

And some general comments:

-Does anyone understand what Spartz wants or does she just scream incoherently and everyone ignores her? Why is she like this? Truly a bizarre representative.

-Why is so much of the AZ GOP delegation so crazy? I know AZ Republicans are crazy but there are plenty of other state GOPs giving them a run for their money. Who the hell is Eli Crane and why is he such a hardliner - is he a protege of Biggs and Gosar? Is he just not that smart?

-Nikema Williams seems to be accumulating a rather strange and contrarian voting record. I can't tell if she is an establishment Dem or not. I didn't expect for her to vote "no" on here (but her weirdest vote is still not expelling Santos).
