On November 9th, Rep. Andy Biggs broke major news on my TV show The Absolute Truth by pointing out Kevin McCarthyâs record of failure as a GOP leader â and by insisting that McCarthy did not automatically deserve to be House Speaker without a debate.
Biggs rightly pointed out that Kevin McCarthy had flip-flopped on important issues like impeaching Joe Biden.
Rep. Biggs was soon joined in his public opposition to Kevin McCarthy by Bob Good (VA), Matt Gaetz (FL) and Ralph Norman (NC) and Matt Rosendale (MT). The full number who oppose McCarthy is said to be close to 20 congressmen.
Matt Gaetz, in particular, has been adamant that Kevin McCarthy has never had the necessary votes to become the next House Speaker.
Kevin McCarthyâs response to these skeptics was to whine that Democrats could pick the House Speaker if they didnât step back in line: âWe have to speak as one voice. We will only be successful if we work together, or weâll lose individually. This is very fragile â that we are the only stopgap for this Biden administration.â
He added: âAnd if we donât do this right, the Democrats can take the majority. If we play games on the floor, the Democrats can end up picking who the Speaker is.â
The problem for Kevin McCarthy is that heâs never tried to be âa stopgapâ against the Biden regime. Itâs not that he tried and failed â itâs that he doesnât even pretend very well. He canât even get the optics right. In fact, on the same day that Kevin McCarthy promised to be the leader of a âstopgapâ to the Biden regime, he sat down for dinner with Hunter Biden at the White House.
True story. You simply canât make this stuff up. This is a headline from The Daily Mail today.
When McCarthy is not bringing his mother to dinner with Hunter Biden, heâs sabotaging Trump-aligned candidates in midterm elections.
Just ask Joe Kent.
McCarthy also backed the same GOP congressmen who voted to impeach President Trump.
If Kevin McCarthy is a Republican, then why did he take money from FTX â the infamous Democrat funding machine pretending to be a crypto exchange?
