Tennessee RepublicanMcCarthy’s ‘condescending’ remark on faith sealed vote
"Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.) said a “condescending” comment from former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) about the lawmaker praying on the vote to remove McCarthy from office sealed his decision to support the ousting.
“He just said something that was very condescending to me — and it doesn’t really matter at this point — but at that point, I thought to myself that that pretty much sealed it right there,” Burchett told reporters at the Capitol after casting his vote.
Burchett backed McCarthy’s Speakership bid in all 15 votes back in January, but said their recent conversation tipped the scales, leaving him as one of the eight GOP members to buck their Speaker."
