As McCarthy neared the fourth hour of his speech at 12:22 a.m. Friday, House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer announced there would be \u201cno further votes in the House tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>McCarthy was initially interrupted as he spoke, and repeatedly called on the presiding officer to bring order to the floor. Several Democrats responded, while others left the floor and live-tweeted his speech. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/11\/18\/democrats-republicans-agree-build-back-better-transformation-joe-biden\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">(RELATED: Republicans Agree With Democrats That Biden\u2019s Budget Is \u2018Transformational\u2019)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" readability=\"6.2\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">This speech by <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GOPLeader?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@GOPLeader<\/a> is the longest month of my life.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 US Rep Brendan Boyle (@RepBrendanBoyle) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RepBrendanBoyle\/status\/1461522044856815617?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 19, 2021<\/a> <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" readability=\"8.172972972973\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">We are hearing rumors that the front row of GOP hostages behind Kevin McCarthy are asking whether they can just be censured instead.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Rep.
