The Republicans will stew in their own nest

This one was heard from an MSNBC commentator, discussing the recent vote to oust the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Kevin McCarthy. This is a mashup of “stew in (one’s) own juice (suffer the consequences of one’s action) and “foul (one’s) own nest” (to do something that causes problems for oneself). The speaker may have actually been thinking of both thoughts (causing problems for oneself and suffering the consequences of one’s action) when he mixed them together. A big thank you to Jim Pileggi for hearing this one and sending it in!
