Good day all. Events have overtaken some posts I had prepared. I will be continuing my comments on Israel destroying Hamas once and for all. Meanwhile….
Kevin McCarthy is out. He is gone, He is no more. He has been REJECTED! He is no longer Speaker of the house and he’s not handling it very well. He’s now threatening to retire from the House and go home.
McCarthy has been a poor Speaker. He has been betraying the Conservatives he made promises to and finally pushed the Conservatives to far. Now he’s out as Speaker and like most swamp dwellers of the Uniparty, he’s whining like the little RINO crybaby he is. Here are the details from RedState:
An at-times annoyed, downcast, and even humorous Kevin McCarthy took to the podium Tuesday evening to hold a nearly hour-long press conference discussing his ouster from the House Speakership position, an effort spearheaded by Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL).
That must have been interesting in the way a train wreck is interesting.
McCarthy lit into his colleague from Florida, indicated that he would not run for the speakership again, said the eight Republicans who voted against were not real conservatives, and even hinted he might resign from office altogether.
Don’t let the door hit you on the way out loser. You’ll just prove Matt Gaetz and the other’s point. You had no interest in fixing the problems we’re facing.
Despite the extreme setback, McCarthy remained optimistic:
‘I will not run for speaker again,’ McCarthy said in a nearly hour-long press conference that veered from combative to laugh filled.
‘I may have lost the vote today. But as I walk out of this chamber, I feel fortunate to have served the American people,’ he said. ‘I leave the speakership with a sense of pride and accomplishment. And yes optimism.’
However, when asked about staying in Congress, he responded with a very open-ended answer. ‘I’ll look at that,” was all he said.
In other words, if he can’t be the king, he’s going to quit and go home and who cares what that might do the country.
He added that he wouldn’t have done anything differently, despite the outcome, and thinks the rebellious Republicans who removed him from office (with help from the Democrats) are doing the country a disservice:
‘Unfortunately, four percent of our conference can join all the Democrats and dictate who can be the Republican Speaker in this House,’ he said. ‘I don’t think that rule is good for the institution, but apparently I’m the only one.’
‘I wouldn’t change a thing,’ he noted.
And that is the reason he is now the “Former” Speaker of the House. He made certain promises when they finally voted him into the speakership. He then promptly betrayed them, over and over again. Next Charlie McCarthy went after Matt Gaetz.
‘I don’t think it says [anything] about the Republican Party. I think it says something about some people who are not a conservative,’ he said of the vote.
He also tore into Gaetz.
‘It was personal,’ he said of Gaetz’s move to oust him. ‘It had nothing to do about spending.’
He said it was all about ‘getting attention.’
‘I mean, we’re getting email fundraisers from him as he’s doing,’ he noted. ‘Regardless of what you think, I’ve seen the texts. It was all about his Ethics, but that’s alright.’
Gaetz and McCarthy have been locked in an epic power struggle all year, since it took McCarthy 15 rounds of votes in January to secure the speakership.
‘Just because Gaetz said something don’t believe it’s true. I haven’t heard him say one true thing yet,’ McCarthy noted.
There is no question that Matt Gaetz and Charlie McCarthy don’t like each other. McCarthy was a weak Uniparty RINO, like Paul Ryan and John Boehner. Not one of them ever stood for the principles that the Republican Base has and sold them out every single time. It was people like these three and Freeze Brain McConnell in the Senate that gave us Donald Trump and then did everything they could to undermine him.
As for McCarthy, who knows where he goes from here. He lobbied hard for the job, and it’s got to be galling to have it ripped away. At times during the press briefing, he seemed optimistic, sometimes even jocular, but at others, he looked like he’d been punched in the gut.
This is what happens when you don’t even try to keep your agreements. I suspect he’s finished in the House. Sadly, his seat is in Kalifornistan, so the Democrats will no doubt steal it. It’s what they do after all. Now the hunt is on for the new Speaker. Representative Jim Jordan has announced his interested and there has been talk of offering it to President Trump.
President Trump has said thank you but no. I agree with the Greatest President of the 21st Century. He should be President, not Speaker I think Jim Jordan would make a good speaker and there are a few others such as Representative Steve Scalise. However, Scalise is not well and should concentrate on recovery. We should find out in a few days who the next speaker of the house will be. I can pretty much guarantee it won’t be Nancy Pelosi.
