Representative Kevin McCarthy said he’s willing to return as US House speaker, calling out extreme members of both parties for focusing on petty politics while Israel is under attack.
Sounding like he still had the job he lost last week, McCarthy called for swift action to aid Israel. He also tied the attack to President Joe Biden’s policies on Iran and used it as fodder to call for conservative priorities like securing the US southern border and scrutinizing aid to Ukraine.
