No honor, no courage, no morals, no balls. Off to corporate America to make millions.
Didn’t even have the guts to call out Gaetz…..
What is wrong with this statement is that the government is a corporation.
@@fkutube933 Could be considered a non-profit.
The poster child for hypocrisy……..
Traitor to Democracy deserves no respect
Minor stuff compared to Genocide Joe Biden. 17,000+ Palestinians killed.
He holds a place in history allright .. A man that can stand without a spine!
Amen because it's true
He had more guts than any other Republican in the house-----. You have to give him that. He was in the right place----but not at the right time.
What a fool
@@dennisplatte7506I like that he held his ground. He earned some respect for that.
Agreed.
Ring kisser Kevin McCarthy.
Spineless to the end.
There is no one in California that is upset McCarthy resigned. He is the biggest failure to ever be speaker of the house.
Sold his soul to the Devil. Good riddance.
Absolutely the worst thing CBS news has done since they gave Marjorie Taylor Greene a platform on 60 Minutes. This man doesn't deserve the opportunity to gloss over his failures with a charm offensive interview. Very disappointing.
I think it's good to give them a platform because at least some people see how ridiculous they are.
He'll always be remembered as a failure when people think of him.
What I didn't like was he still was making excuses for the past 7 years. In essence, it's we ment well but we couldn't pull it togeather to do anything.
Ugh! Absolutely not!
@@danielstadden1149 Yes but minor failures when considering Biden's failures in Ukraine and Afghanistan and his allowance of Israel's genocide of Palestinians.
McCarthy stands for nothing.
Vote out these “low life” GOP! Bring back dignity!
😂
oh sweet Jesus , help us. @@HomeSkillit
Everyone who sides with Trump… everyone… never ends well. They all end in disgrace or jail.
preferably jail
Republican winning 🤣
It’s not even a close call with Trump. McCain/Obama? Close call. Romney/obama? Close call. Bush/kerry? Close call.
Trump has never been fit for the position
McCarthy is the very definition of a "never trumper" McCarthy has never endorsed Donald Trump in any way and has outright publicly denounced him. 😂
but her emails
Liar, liar pants on fire.
But enough about Joe Biden.
@@johnreynolds5407 I see what you did there. Real hoot 💙💙💙💙
He is one of the top 5 individuals who have led this country to the sad, divided place we now find ourselves.
That was 44. Get the facts straight! Everything now is the result of putting the first in power.
Delusional take.. bot
🤔Former Speaker Of The House Kevin McCarthy wants to be Trump’s running mate as vice president. That’s cringy on so many levels.😬
Oh NO!😮😮
Dude looks and sounds like a terrible Disney villain
I think that may be good.
Stop giving these people fair and equal treatment….
People? Which ones?
Why is anyone giving him coverage?
His mind is ADDLED BY TRUMP !!
The GQP couldn't govern a lemonade stand.
... food service jobs deserve better than any Republican u can think of 🤔🍟 🍔
McCarthy must be the phoniest person in government right now. When Trump throws him under the bus, he looks up and says… may I have another sir!
Six minutes and 55 seconds of vapidity.
No honor among thieves, eh Kevin 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Bye Felicia 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Host: Would you be willing to serve in a Trump cabinet? McCarthy: …In the right position…look, if I’m the right person for the job, yes. = Lap Dog-in-chief
He may end up aligned w trump.
Hopefully, his exit and the expulsion of Santos is the beginning of a movement.
Chaos is not leadership…it is a symptom of a lack of courage to act
This guy has the skillset of a car salesman.
Which is an insult to car salespeople
- junkyard cars
At least car salespeople WORK for their pay.
Best. Description. Ever.
He has a skillset...sandwich maker. And this is a fact.
I think Mar-a-Lago may have found a new valet parking attendant… 👏🏻
That's a good one lol
Vote Blue & protect Democracy
How's that "Red Wave" going? 😅
I want to create a Jeopardy themed game show where a contestant listens to an answer a Politician gives to a question, and the contestant has to guess what question the reporter asked the Politician. Make that an SNL skit.
Good job!😂
.. who is Kevin McPocrisy ..
Agree! That would be epic! LOL 🤣
😂😂😂😂 I vote yes for this
This is the best move by McCarthy he's ever done,.
I am glad he's gone home !!!!
We, the nation, need to think. We need to remember how to think 5:17 and think independently. If we don't do this right away, this great experiment will have failed. We can not open the door for facisism. All my life, I have been so proud of our democracy.
this guy is the slimiest rep in the history of the country, has no personal integrity, tells everyone what they want to hear, no principles.
What a disgrace
And the rebranding of loser McCarthy begins…. Next stop: Dancing with the Stars.
The garbage will take itself out.
I'm glad he's leaving, there should be regulations on how many times voting can proceed.
Terrible interview. Obviously holding back, not answering the question, not pressing him hard enough on questions.
there is only thing in the world I agree on with Matt Gaetz....the absolute PHONINESS of this guy McCarthy.
This could be the biggest blessing he ever received by getting kicked out as speaker...
Warm seat in hell for him
McCarthy enabled an insurrection, cried about it that day, and then went dined with the instigator.
McCarthy then went on to placate Trump, MAGA and shirk his Oath.
WHY PLATFORM UNAMERICAN BEHAVIOR?
$
This looks like a lost opportunity to call out to the people who betrayed him.
Probably cause he's still in the game, the chameleon.
Kevin didn't do himself any favor during this interview .. didn't care for him earlier, care for him even less now.
Robert Costas hits hard with questions, but as ever McCarthy weasels around them. Glad he”# out of the House. Hoping for a Blue seat replacement
McCarthy will historically go down as a 'GREAT' disappointment for 🇺🇲America.
when this guy says something, believe the opposite.
The reporter? I agree.
Glad he is out …..
Kevin McCarthy has reached and exceeded his level of incompetence and is off to the sidelines for now. Totally lacking in honor and dignity. Unable to answer a direct question honestly without a twinkle and a dance. In the unfortunate event that Trump succeeds, he will be lined up at the trough for his reward.
"A twinkle and a dance." That is perfect for him. You nailed it. 🙂
It’s time for Kevin to Cash-In. But what will he do? Will he get a lucrative Lobbying Position, a cushy Think Tank position? Or, will he pull a Devon Nunez and actually create a business. Time will tell what kind of guy Kevin is?
‘Create a business’. That’s a good one.
Where is Jane Pauley?
Well, that was 6 minutes and 55 seconds of my life I won't get back.
Rumor Has It Trump will be tried as an adult.. 🤣🤣
Agreed - the congressional Invertebrate Party
If Qevin is laughing, he's lying
Interesting interview here. You hear the narrative from the interviewer on one side and the oddly folksy demeanor from Kevin on the other. You really can't have real conversations that way.
He's in trumpets pocket.
Straight forward questions aren't a narrative.
He lives in a political twilight zone.
I hope he gets a spine for Xmas
*"Given the way the brain works, we can’t rely on leaders to spot and safeguard against their own errors in judgment."*
(Campbell, Whitehead, and Finkelstein)
What does he mean in what other country a person can be. A speaker of the house???
Does he know any other country
Reminds me of the old joke about how you can tell when a politician is lying -- when his lips are moving.
he (Orange Monster) will adapt when he gets all the facts? LOL
2024 will be historic. That's 100% guaranteed.
His greatest achievement is his accidental effort in aiding bipartisanship: Both Republicans and Democrats can't stand him. Bye, Kevin. And stay out!
Don't let the door hit you in the arse on the way out 👍🤪🇺🇲
First ever non-speaker of the house
After listening to McCarthy, I need to take a long shower to see if I can clean myself after listening to this horrible man.
Once upon a time I thought that journalists were fair and impartial. Maybe I was naive. Maybe they were better at hiding their biases than today's journalists? Because, I give you exhibit A, folks. Robert Costa.
It's every one of them. Trump brings rati,gs! End of story.
Imagine accusing the journalist conducting an exit interview of Dennis Hastert of bias because he asked about homosexual pedophilia.
As despicable of a person as Kevin is I would still take him over Mike Johnson any day.
"In what other can you come from California and a family of Democrats and end up as Speaker of the US Congress!?"
Uh no other country Kevin. And is that story meant to be impressive? Which bits? You say you're a statesman huh? Gee.. Go figure. 🇺🇸
Sad to say that CBS devalues itself by having interviewers like Robert Costa who do not fact check subjects in real time. Folks like him are a reason why journalism has devalued itself.
He is just the messenger for CBS and they work for the deep state.
The job of the interviewer is not to play antagonist or rival. That's a new thing that Democrats invented to keep their political opponents from looking good in interviews. Would you want to have a conversation with someone that fact-checked you in real time which basically actually means just calling you a liar about everything and not really caring about the facts but whatever you believe
Sycophant 😢
He might as well just say it - I’m here for you Fat Don - I’ll be your next whipping boy / VP
I don't care for McCarthy but in all seriousness, what kind of nonsense is this when a speaker gets voted out for no good reason?? This is absurd. If I read in a history book that someone got kicked out of a post, I assume they have some serious scandal.
Sold his soul for Speaker. Then the Devils came for him. Wish him much luck. The Republican party is a Chiteshow. Literally. If Trump is reelected, Kevin could be the Coffee Boy.
Kevin McPocrisy. Talked out of both sides of his mouth. His number one concern was himself. Continuing his contempt of the American people with this interview.
It is possible in most countries bro!
He’s going to cash in on his speakership. He’s going to be a consultant and write a tell all book. What he doesn’t care about is the prospects of America under a second term President Trump
Oh. My. Gosh. He is so self-deluded about what he has done. Very, very scary.
It's worse. When Kevin McCarthy was leaving the House of Representatives he went looking for his fellow Republican Congressman he didn't like and he would run into them with his shoulder and run away. There one congressman from Tennessee that he hated he went up and hit him with elbow in back and ran away. I'm so happy he is leaving the US House of Representatives we need don't need a 8 year child leading the US House.
He's so obvious, it's hysterical.
THANK YOU!!!! I JUST CAN'T LAUGH!!!!!
Name ONE policy! 💙💙💙
He's blushing when told he threw Trump a lifeline!
16 years to become speaker, 9 months to get fired
He’s only 58?
2 words- NO dignity!!
And you will reap what you sow.
His voice reeks of insincerity. Worse, his amoral blindly ambitious approach will potentially destroy the American experiment.
BJ McCarthy was the Republican's knees, and willing to do whatever to please. McCarthy gave more than he got.
move on-next
Trump: "MUSLIM BAN"
Kevin: "Not about retribution"
Trump: "RELIGIOUS TEST"
Kevin: "Not about retribution"
Trump: "LOCK HER UP"
Kevin: "Not about retribution"
Trump: "EXECUTE MILLIE"
Kevin: "Not about retribution"
Trump: "USE THE MILITARY AGAINST AMERICANS"
Kevin: "Not about retribution"
A truck stop? Give me a break. This guy is a party monger, he is toxic. Not a honest answer, even at the end. Bye Felicia
That man is so blinde.
Don’t be fooled by his chipper demeanor.
When the lights go out at night, he can no longer fool himself.
Interesting interview, I guess. Problem is, no one should believe a politician. It's a sorry waste of time! How anyone could support Trump makes me want to throw up.
He makes me sick Kevin
Did anyone ask him about high-priced lifestyle on the dime of GOP donors?
Watching what is happening with the border I sure do miss KMAC.
Greed. This man cares nothing about us people but for money.
Where is the checks and balance in this administration!
He’s in such denial.
A coward with charisma. It's not as rare or exceptional as you would think.
About time
