Stuart Varney on McCarthy speakership: Rogue Republicans seem ‘determined’ to embarrass the party
FOX Business host Stuart Varney asks how House Republicans will deal with crises if they 'embarrass their own leadership?'
During his latest "My Take," "Varney & Co." host Stuart Varney criticized GOP lawmakers who oppose Rep. Kevin McCarthy being the new House speaker, arguing the rogue Republicans seem to be "determined to embarrass their own party" as Democrats laugh.
STUART VARNEY: The House of Representatives is back in business, and the Democrats, despite losing control, are laughing.
They are laughing at the Republicans who are struggling to elect a speaker.

It’s a self-inflicted wound.

The vast majority of Republican members want Kevin McCarthy. A handful don't want him.
McCarthy gave in to their demands, but at this point, as a vote is about to be taken, they seem determined to embarrass their own party.
Trump wants McCarthy. Jim Jordan and other conservatives want McCarthy.
It’s hard to understand the rebel's position. They can't win. They simply produce chaos and division.
This is easy to dismiss as just another round of political infighting.
But for those who want to see a robust challenge to the increasingly leftist Democrat party, it is dismaying.
