Texas Congressman on McCarthy's Speaker Removal: 'Democracy Doesn't Work'

McCaul: “It’s a dangerous game that we’re playing. It just proves our adversaries right that democracy doesn’t work."

"Our adversaries are watching us. And Israel is watching. They need our help. I have my resolution condemning Hamas, supporting Israel. We can’t even vote on that, until we put a speaker in the chair."

"I’m going to remind my colleagues about how dangerous this is. Israel’s going to need an aid package. I’ve been having discussions with the White House about that."

"But if we don’t have a speaker, we can’t assist Israel in this great time of need after this terrorist attack. So, like we’re playing with fire, and we need to stop playing games in politics with this — vote a speaker in.”
