McCarthy now says that some his own GOP House members want to "burn the place down." With nine days before a government shutdown, yesterday he said he'd keep members in town all weekend to solve this GOP-created problem -- they can't pass anything to fix it. Today he sent them all home for the weekend. These clowns aren't committing treason in a legal sense, but damn they're getting close.
18 U.S. Code § 2381 - Treason US Code
