Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy's revenge tour is sputtering to an end this week, with just one primary win to show for it.
McCarthy's former colleagues complain he's effectively lit millions of dollars on fire and made it harder for new leaders to do their jobs.
Multiple House Republicans and senior staff took issue with McCarthy's public criticisms of Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), and said they saw his fingerprints on the attempted ouster of Johnson in May, sources tell us.
Since his historic removal last fall, McCarthy and his allies have targeted the eight House Republicans who voted against him.
Of McCarthy's targets, House Freedom Caucus Chair Bob Good (R-Va.) was the only one to lose his primary, and his opponent was endorsed by former President Trump.
McCarthy allies have defended his work against those who moved to oust him, arguing they deserve repercussions.

Died as he lived, ineffectually.
Let him cook.
Revenge is a dish best served lukewarm, moldy, and nearly all gone. The Kevin Special.
