(7,920 posts)13. Kevin McCarthy is confused . . .
He still thinks his party is in power and calling the shots.
The Dems can run the commission all by themselves if they wanted to, reaching across to the GOP was a gesture of attempted bipartisanship.
Kevin can run his own GOP version of the commission if he wants to, it will be interesting to compare outcomes between the two.
