The radio shock joke likened McCarthy to a student receiving a “wedgie” in public.
Stern likened the California congressman to a student receiving a “wedgie” in public while discussing the stalemate on Capitol Hill during Wednesday’s edition of Sirius XM’s “The Howard Stern Show.”
“The reason the dude can’t become Speaker of the House is that these Republicans have let in so many kooks that the kooks will not vote for him,” Stern added. Stern noted that McCarthy had previously staged an unsuccessful bid to become House speaker in 2015 – and argued that some Republicans lawmakers were relishing an opportunity to stick it to their longtime colleague.“I think this guy wants it so badly that it’s kind of fun not to give it to him,” Stern said. “Like, you know when someone wants to be class president and they’re the teacher’s pet? Like, he looks like he’s so desperate for it that they won’t give it to him.
