Not quite.

Inside Kevin McCarthy’s vengeance operation against the Republicans who fired him
Allies of the booted speaker have identified their three biggest targets: Reps. Nancy Mace, Bob Good and Eli Crane.

... A top McCarthy ally, Brian O. Walsh, is overseeing an attempt to recruit primary challengers to take on members of the infamous “Gaetz Eight” — the Capitol’s nickname for Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) and seven Republicans who supported his fire-McCarthy push — according to six people familiar with the plans who were granted anonymity to discuss them....

Behind the scenes, McCarthy allies have identified three of the Gaetz Eight as the most vulnerable in primaries and thus, the ripest targets: Reps. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.), Bob Good (R-Va.) and Eli Crane (R-Ariz.). Mace and Good already have strong challengers, but Crane still lacks a compelling prospective candidate to take him on.

That quiet work shows McCarthy’s appetite for payback remains intense, even months after his October ouster as speaker and December departure from Congress. It also illustrates that even out of office, the former speaker and his supporters can make life miserable for his detractors — a further sign that the House GOP power struggle between burn-it-down hardliners and more establishment conservatives is alive and well....

Indeed, McCarthy allies have made inquiries about challengers to both Crane and Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.), according to a person familiar with the conversations who was granted anonymity to address them. The pool of candidates willing to take on an incumbent is thin but recruitment efforts are ongoing. The filing deadline for the state is April 8....

Biggs and Gaetz, who’s the biggest target of all, are seen as harder to topple. A former chair of the House Freedom Caucus, Biggs been on the ballot in his area for decades.

Another Republican in the defector group, Rep. Matt Rosendale (Mont.), has already told allies he plans to run for Senate, though he hasn’t officially announced yet. Rep. Ken Buck (R-Colo.) is already retiring, taking him off any political hit list.

Some McCarthy backers see a window of opportunity in Rep. Tim Burchett‘s (R-Tenn.) district. Burchett said he’s noticed recruitment chatter in his district and attempts to pick off his donors....

I love the sound of repugs eating their own in the morning.

Kevin McCarthy's 'Depressing' New Complaint About Biden Is His Weirdest Gripe Yet
The former House speaker has a strange and unexpected problem with the president.

Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) on Wednesday offered a bizarre new complaint about President Joe Biden.

Speaking to Kayleigh McEnany on Fox News, McCarthy said the Oval Office under most presidents has been busy and buzzing with activity, but Biden’s is calm and quiet.

Horrors!

“The only thing: There are cookies. He offers you cookies every time you’re in there, and he goes and gets them. I mean, it is a depressing moment,” said McCarthy, who once had his aides pick through packs of Starburst candies to set aside all the red and pink ones for Donald Trump.

I'm sure they're somewhere in the Oval Office. It's not like Joe leaves to bake them and then fetch them from the WH kitchen.

... McCarthy has also claimed the president is cognitively diminished, but critics were quick to point out that offering a guest cookies is not exactly a great example of that:

( New Jersey’s Congressman, representing the Ninth District....)

I only got a cupcake when I was invited to the White House, and it was such a highlight I stopped and took pictures of it in front of everyone. I can’t imagine how miserable a person you have to be to complain about being offered a cookie.

I always love how quick Republicans are to remind you they absolutely hate the things normal people love. Have a puppy, we will take it to the gravel pit and shoot it in the face. Like cookies? Fuck you, how about those cookies?

Yeah that sounds terrible. People hate cookies

What a bitter and powerless carcass McCarthy is.

I think most normal Americans would consider this is a generous act

Speaking of depressing @SpeakerMcCarthy - S*TF*U you sniveling, spineless clown.

Is this really the best "Crazy Old Biden" example he could come up with? Who doesn't want a cookie?

I'd be pretty stoked if the President of the United States offered me a cookie ... and then got up to get me one! Of course, I'm not a gaping a-hole like Kevin McCarthy, so...

I can assure you there is nothing depressing about being given cookies. Ever.

Did I miss the “cookies are now depressing” memo?
