It’s dishonest because the Republicans both initiated the vote to remove McCarthy

This is what I wrote

and had the numbers to reelect him.

This is in accordance with what I wrote: Dems could’ve reelected McCarthy.

While you are correct democrats could have voted for McCarthy,

Right? And

I’m not really sure why they should/wpuld as he had already reneged on budgetary issues

As I clarified in that comment, I was not saying they should.

So, you’re not disagreeing with me, are you? I therefore don’t see why I’m criticized.
