"SNIP............
It is total confusion a banana republic. Any plan, anything you anticipate, who knows whatll happen. People are crying. They dont have any idea how this will unfold at all.
Rep. Peter King (R-NY), quoted by the Washington Post, as he recounted seeing a handful of House Republicans weeping over the downfall of Kevin McCarthy and the broader discord within the Republican party.

(182,848 posts)The affair is something of an open secret in Washington, D.C. Reporters at other publications, lobbyists, congressional staffers of both parties all know about it. One staffer for a congressman describes it as the biggest open secret in D.C. A lobbyist describes Ellmers as a social climber who has ingratiated herself with McCarthy.
House leadership also knows about the affair. Speaker John Boehner reportedly told McCarthy to stop the affair once McCarthy was elected Majority Leader says a well placed congressional staffer. At least one leadership staffer doesnt think the affair ended. They are unusually close, says the staffer who insists that the affair is going on. Its weird if hes not ******* her.
