Kinzinger: McCarthy a "feckless, weak" man

What he's saying: McCarthy thought Cheney would "go away" after they removed her from leadership, Kinzinger told The Bulwark Podcast's Charlie Sykes. But she didn't, and instead "he looks like a feckless, weak, tired man that is doing the bidding of whatever Majorie Taylor Greene thinks is gonna raise her money that day."

• "Even if he does somehow become speaker, he's gonna have to have a good cellphone plan because he will be calling Marjorie Taylor Greene every day asking her what he can, what he can't, do," Kinzinger said.
• "I mean, my goodness. Having the title of speaker but then really being, you know, subservient to a sophomore in Congress who's crazy and a number of them — why would you even want that?"

• "The Republicans may win the majority, but that is gonna be, I think, when he is hostage to Marjorie Taylor Greene, probably do more damage to the Republican Party than even anything in the next year," Kinzinger added.

Worth noting: The RNC's censure has come under fire from Republican figures, including Senate Minority Leader Mitch. McConnell (R-Ky.).
