Now that is the right question. Why McCarthy specifically? It isn't for working with democrats because Mike Johnson immediately started working with democrats to get the stop gap funding bill through. That whole narrative from Matt Gaetz was a lie. Kevin McCarthy did nothing that Mike Johnson isn't doing now, so why McCarthy specifically?What we are looking at is why mccarthy specifically.
The issue causing Matt Gaetz to lash out at McCarthy was due to the latter's role in the Congressional ethics inquiry into Matt Gaetz for misusing funds and sexual misconduct. McCarthy didn't want Gaetz's character issues to be associated with the GOP so McCarthy did what he could to distance the GOP from Gaetz, and removing Kevin as speaker was payback for that. The real reason doesn't play well with cameras so it became all about blah-blah works with Democrats, blah-blah broken promises.
