 "McCarthy enabled that radicalization by denying the 2020 election results, seeking to obstruct the investigation into the Jan. 6 coup attempt, and then apparently blaming Democrats for the destruction. 'What they did to this institution, what they did to this building, was so wrong,' he declared the other day."

 "We have only to look at authoritarianism past and present to see the future of the GOP. When far-right extremists gain power, they gradually push out anyone who cannot fully embrace their nihilistic and destructive vision of politics. That is where Gaetz, Trump, and Bannon want to take us. McCarthy has been useful on this journey, but in the year of the 'final battle' to wreck democracy, as Trump calls it, it's time for someone more ruthless and resolute."
