GOP House leader Kevin McCarthy worked to crush the MAGA movement in Congress but now he wants their votes for speakership.
Only a week ago we uncovered that McCarthy was using funds from FTX to take out GOP Representative Madison Cawthorn who was a fan of President Trump and the MAGA movement.
But Cawthorn wasn’t the only MAGA candidate that McCarthy went after. He also went after many more.
Joe Kent, Carl Paladino, Christian Collins, Karoline Leavitt, Laura Loomer, Greg Giglio, and JR Majewski, were all targeted by Kevin McCarthy.
Attorney Anthony Sabatini in Florida was one of them. Sabatini was a MAGA candidate that McCarthy worked against in the primary. The Florida House member lost in part due to McCarthy’s money used against him.
Sabatini reports:
McConnell’s sabotage of his own side in the Senate races won’t come as a surprise to most Republicans, but many are unaware that House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy used similar tactics in several House races during the same period. McCarthy’s behavior is even worse than McConnell’s in light of the extremely underwhelming House election results. Although observers expected a “red wave” that would yield a strong Republican majority in the House, Republicans are likely to have just a five-vote advantage in the end.
According to The Washington Post, the political machine around McCarthy directed millions to be spent against Republican candidates in GOP primaries associated with the America First movement. Yes, you read that correctly. McCarthy surrogates, including Amazon lobbyist Jeff Miller, directed four political action committees to attack key candidates to McCarthy’s right in primary elections around the country.
Here are just a few examples

Damn...
Since ‘06 I have been calling for the destruction of the bush league chamber of commerce worshipping republiCAN’Ts...
I have felt like a lone voice in the wilderness...
Glad to see someone else gets it...

If you are looking for new leadership, you’re looking in the wrong place.

Wise and insightful insight, Jim Noble.
I guess I’m still trying to be too idealistic and indeed unrealistic. At age 62 and extremely beleaguered following five decades of political battles, I ought to know better.
Well...I’d say Jim Jordan has the right stuff.
Maybe his roommate, Luntz can put together a Poll to see where this can go.
Donald Trump would make a terrific Speaker.
Memo
To: New Congress Critter Juan Ciscomani (R-AZ6)
From: One pissed off cowboy
Subject: Speaker of the House
Sir,
A vote for Kevin McCarthy for Speaker is a future vote for any and all who run against you in the future.
“If you support 3-time loser Trump“
Trump won in 20 troll. He was not on the ballot in 22 and l have idea what your 3rd time is.
in the EPIC words of David Depape, uuummm... nope!
McCarthy winning the speaker position will effectively reduce, if not end entirely, the hard-fought but very narrow Republican majority in the House.
Remember this: McCarthy is Ryan.
I agree with you there, either we are a constitutional Republic or we go the way of Rome and become just another corrupt 3rd world banana sh$thole
... you dismiss the crooked balloting and are too ignorant to read about what the Trump White House did do... and you blame Trump for the $400MM of Suckerbucks plus the sold out media arrayed against him. So you are done.... good we don’t need cowards in the MAGA movement, go support Nikki or some other “Republican”... but don’t come back here and bitch when the Republic dies... ymmv
Is Hastert is Boehner.
Your point is? The GOP is hopeless?
Yes, you are correct!
I know I'm sounding like a broken record, but for all you believers that "MAGA Republican" is a viable movement: Please tell me how you could get Jordan, or Biggs, or (absurdly) Trump to 218 votes in this House.
1) Quit doing headstands
2) Quit saying "destroy the GOP is the only way to go" and help Trump rip the g0n@ds off the remaining RINOs and reform the GOP into the MAGA party -- if you deep-dive into vote totals, it ain't like we're short of actual votes, Jimbo. We just have to permanently fix the vote counters.
But you do you, because you always have done whatever specifically benefits you and your own opinion.
Life in Rome was pretty damn good for 350-400 years after the Republic was overthrown (that’s a lot longer than this “United” States is going to last.
Agree his Rino colors are glowing.
The Liz Cheney coming right up. All the Ds and all the GOPe McCarthy supporters will vote for McCarthy.
This is how Ryan became Speaker. They did not want him but the small R majority forced/s them to swallow bile.
And the so called MAGA republicans will show their true colors and vote for him anyway.
Let’s Go, Kevin! *SNORT*
