I find it very odd that ex-speaker McCarthy is saying in this press conference that he is upset that the rules are the way they are, which let this happen to him.

Am I incorrect in thinking that he set the rules this way to get the speakership in the first place?

Why do politicians never take any accountability? Why is it always somebody else's problem?

Why would democrats help you when you went back on the spending deal?

@cliftonmr you are incorrect :)

Speakers don't get to just set up rules on their own, unilaterally. The House has a running set of rules that have been agreed to by the entire chamber.

So no, he didn't set the rules this way.
