McCarthy lied to the Democrats when he failed to adhere to the budget deal he agreed to with the debt ceiling deal. 

The Dems will help eventually...when the Republicans stop putting forth names who 1) aren't from the extreme right 2) aren't election deniers

"Those people" didn't have the ability to remove him because there were just 8 of them. 208/208 Democrats voted with "those people" to give them that ability because they apparently would either prefer Jim Jordan or a non-functional government during a worldwide time of emergency than compromise.

Literally took just 4 of the 208 to not choose chaos and providing an opening for Jim Jordan to get more power, and "those people" would have been silenced.

ANNNDDD that is precisely my point. Eventually, because apparently it wasn't/isn't a priority. Nor is it a priority to keep Jim Jordan from being Speaker of the House. So GMD pretending that he cares so much about aid to Israel or Ukraine or a farm bill while Democrats are simultaneously fine with helping "eventually" is exactly why that high horse is completely dead.
