Kevin McCarthy elected speaker of House of Representatives, it may be detail for you

Good child, the atmosphere? Do not judge on appearance. During the night of January 6 to 7, at the US Congress, the Republican Party imploded during the election of the Speaker of the House of Representatives. A handful of elected Trumpists managed to block, during

Four days and three nights, the accession to the perch of the candidate appointed by the party, Californian Kevin McCarthy … While for a hundred years the election, which has become a formality, had always played in the first round, he Fifteen laps for McCarthy to reach its ends.

hands down

The surrealism of the situation has been reinforced by the American tradition which wants elected officials to happily invite women and children to attend their enthronement. Trapped, they had to make crane for four long days. So we saw children running, falling asleep in the armchairs or align the checks … Here, Milla Gooden, daughter of the elected representative

Republican of Texas launches Gooden, gratifies McCarthy of the High Five invented by the baseball player Glenn Burke, in 1977, at the Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles.

Discordinary motif

Since we are there, let’s stop for a few moments on the outfit of little Milla and on this woolen dress decorated with a jacquard pattern called “Fair Isle”. Precisely invented in Fair Isle, an island isolated in the north of Scotland, in the Shetland archipelago, then popularized by Edouard VIII, this motif was originally to respond to a specific specifications: associate five or six colors In total, including two for the same line, and above all, not presenting any united zone. Here, none of this is respected. But let’s not overcome this poor Milla.

Authoritarian pair

By his side, hanging on his father’s tie, his brother Liam distinguishes himself by the pair of

sneakers he wears, in this case the Nike Air Jordan 1, the very first model to have been

marketed by the brand co -edited by Michael Jordan and Nike. Launched in 1985, the Air Jordan were originally prohibited on the NBA parquet floors because their colors did not respect the league dress code. At each of his appearances on the field, the basketball player was therefore fined $ 5,000, which the brand hastened to pay, delighted with this ad.

Finally, note that, faced with Lance Gooden and his offspring, Kevin McCarthy looks good, trying to hide his bitterness of having been torture by the most radical Trumpists and having finally been forced to give them up on many points to tear off their election. Let’s be frank: at this stage, we would largely prefer that McCarthy does his best to hide this damn fantasy buttonhole of contrasting color lying to his collar of jacket, in order to give pep at his pace. It would in any case be much less vain.
