House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy’s message to dozens of House conservatives was succinct: “I’m not John Boehner.”
McCarthy (R-Calif.) has been desperately trying to distance himself from Boehner (R-Ohio), the man he wants to replace as Speaker of the House. His latest attempt came Tuesday night as he made his pitch to a dozens of conservative lawmakers at the Capitol Hill Club.
“I’m not John Boehner. I’m going to run things differently. I’m my own man,” McCarthy said, according to one conservative in the room, Rep. Blake Farenthold (R-Texas).
McCarthy is expected to easily win the nomination for Speaker when House Republicans hold a closed-door vote Thursday. But he’s having a tougher time winning over some of the conservative hard-liners he needs to secure 218 votes in a roll call of the entire House set for Oct. 29.
1) I’m not orange
2) Boehner never stuck his foot in his mouth as
bad as I just did on Hannity.
McCarthy gave a boost to hillary’s campaign wiht his stupid comment re: the benghazi hearings. They’re even using it in a campaign commerical.
The guy is a walking disaster. He should not be speaker.
No.
But he is Hillary’s savior.
Different name perhaps, but same brain...stupid...obuma puppet...for immigrantion...for welfare...shall I keep going?
Kevin brings his personal experience as a small business owner and as an effective leader in the statehouse to Washington D.C. In his role as Majority Whip, Kevin leads the effort in Congress to advance common sense policies that will put America back on the path to prosperity. Since gaining control of the House in November 2010, Kevin and his Republican colleagues have blocked the largest tax increase in American history, cut out-of-control government spending by historic levels and passed numerous pieces of legislation that will help create jobs in America. These bills reduce the burden on small businesses, increase our nation’s energy security by promoting domestic energy production, knock down barriers for small business owners to access capital and help increase certainty for the private sector.
Really??? Where are those jobs? Why are our taxes so high? Just what have you done except run your mouth???
McCarthy has already proven in his clueless comment on Hillary and the Benghazi hearings that he is too stupid to be Speaker. Anyone who votes for him to be Speaker is equally clueless and should be primaried next year.
He’s from California, that’s all we need to know!
Yeah, cuz even Boehner is smarter than you. Idiot.
He’s the GOPe’s version of Gaff-master Biden. Or the UK’s Prince Philip.
No, he is Pelosis boy though
Does it look like he’s going to win? The election is tomorrow, right?
So says Boehner's toadie...
Too stupid to be speaker!!
Jason Chaffetz is throwing his RINO hat into the ring, don't forget him taking a T.E.A. Party Rep's committee chairmanship away.
The last time Boehner was voted Speaker, Boehner told the reps he wasn’t John Boehner. Ooops.
Rinos everywhere! What bullshit!
No, you are DUMBER than Boehner!!! GO AWAY, KEVIN!!
House Intelligence Committee chairman Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA)52% , an ally of House Majority Leader Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA)45% in the upcoming Speakership elections, tells reporters that he thinks any GOP House member who doesn’t back McCarthy on the floor should be kicked out of the GOP to go form their own third party.
“McCarthy’s pitch to conservatives: ‘I’m not John Boehner’ (Tsk, tsk)” I hope not but DON’T be Charlie McCarthy either!
McCarthy’s pitch to conservatives: ‘I’m not John Boehner’ (Tsk, tsk and tee hee), said the spider to the flies!
3) I didn’t go to Amelia island with [then] House Majority Leader Eric Cantor... to fight true conservatives.
