You can pin that on McCarthy if you want, but a good deal of the unpopularity of the Republican party has come from the Never-McCarthy nutbars who also happen to be proponents of Trump and The Big Lie. Hell, Boebert won re-election in 2022 by just 546 votes, when just two years prior she won by 26,512. That's the smallest margin of victory in the entire time the GOP has held that District, since at least 2011.

Republicans want their own Pelosi. Someone revered and reviled on the internet; likely reviled on CP. McCarthy isn't her.
