What's most interesting to me is how MTG wanted to stick with McCarthy and Gaetz wanted him gone, but now MTG and Massie have the pitchforks.

Both flipped. Massie supported KM pretty openly, too.

The issue is simple. It's easy to talk shite when you're a random House member. Hell, you can even be a hypocrite like the 2 above and Gaetz (Who voted to renew FISA in 2018). When a person gets the big chair, the spotlight becomes bright and the pressure heavy. Nobody wants to be blamed for destroying the GOP in an election year (which a forced shutdown would do, and that's the only bullet in the chamber).
