Then they were doing secret ballot votes and McCarthy even though he wasn't running got 43 votes. Johnson called for a roll call vote so those voting for McCarthy would identify themselves and when they did that, McCarthy got zero votes so none of them had to balls to admit they were voting for McCarthy. This made everyone realize what a slimy turd McCarthy was and he was done and everyone rallied around Johnson.



I just watched that too. McCarthy is a slimy dude.
