YouTube Description
as posted by the channelEarlier this month, a group of hard-right Republicans hijacked the floor of the House of Representatives in protest against Speaker Kevin McCarthy. The mutiny, staged by nearly a dozen members of the ultraconservative House Freedom Caucus, raised questions about whether the speaker could continue to govern his slim and fractious majority.
Annie Karni, a congressional correspondent for The Times, explains how and why this small group of members made the chamber ungovernable.
