Kevin McCarthy’s Rebranding Tour

Politico: “Six months after his ouster as speaker of the House, McCarthy is trying to write his own history. Although still comparatively young at 59 in an era of octogenarian politicians, it’s hard to imagine a world in which the first line of his obituary is not that he was the first speaker ever removed from office.”

“So now, McCarthy seems to have set himself to the task of shaping how future generations remember that moment and the eight months he spent wielding the gavel — even if it requires a selective retelling of what happened with a few big omissions.”
