INSIDERS: Kevin McCarthy Does Not Have the Votes for House Speaker
The Gateway Pundit ^ | December 26, 2022 | Joe Hoft

Posted on 11/26/2022 9:38:01 AM PST by Macho MAGA Man

Kevin McCarthy currently does not have enough votes for Speaker.

This is a very good thing.

While Biden, Pelosi and Schumer are destroying the country like never before Kevin McCarthy is way too weak to stand up against this destruction of the USA. This is because McCarthy has never shown strength. He’s Paul Ryan’s puppet in the House.

Yesterday Congressman Bob Good from Virginia reported that after two years Kevin McCarthy there is no indication that McCarthy will suddenly stand up against the Biden regime.

Good shared:

Tell me on what basis Steve, if you were looking at the 220 members of Congress based on their merits, their skills, their qualities, their leadership demonstration that you would settle on Kevin McCarthy at the expense of the other 219 or so Republicans.

We need someone who represents the conservative center of the conference. We need someone who will truly stand up and fight with nerves of steel. We need someone who will hold every Republican accountable to fight againts the Schumer – Biden agenda.

We didn’t have that in the minority. There’s no way we’re going to have that in the majority [if it’s McCarthy]. And there are more than enough of us who are resolved not to vote for him that we need to get past a denial of the reality that he’s going to be Speaker.

Because he doesn’t have our enemies as target, more his mentors.

Six RINOs and all Democrats could make Liz Cheney Speaker. Be afraid.

You are correct!
The question I keep asking is how the RATS always seem to back radicals and the ONLY conservative to ever be Speaker was Neut.
Even then it was only 2 years.
Clearly the Deep State goes deeper than we ever imagined.
Crazy Liz gave us a clue.

All the Democrats need is 5 of the 12 Republicans who voted for gay marriage this month to allow Democrats to choose the new speaker.

McCarthy is not good, but we could end up with worse.

McCarthy is giving MTG her committee spots back and that’s where the money is. Of course she’s talking him up.

Try not to be stupid.

MTG is MAGA and Trump supporting.

So what if she’s talking up McCarthy?

The way you think, you’d have some scumbag RINO be Speaker who would shut down every investigation.

To people like you, you are what’s wrong with the GOP.

Some here think McCarthy cut a deal with the rats to get the House. I think that is probably true. He will be speaker and we will get very little. What the rats got for their end will become apparent. The could have defunded Garland’s witch hunt but it doesn’t look like they will that’s probably item number 1.

The House is required under the Constitution to elect a Speaker. Delaying indefinitely until you have secured 218 votes is not an option.

Yeah, but that's not going to happen until January 3, 2023.

There is a lot that McCarthy and the Republicans should be doing between now and then to avoid that debacle.

This, and the other article about rejecting 6 of 8 rule requests doesn't bode well for the idea that McCarthy is moving forward to placate his caucus in advance of the House roll-call vote on January 3.

Jim Jordan doesn’t want the job. He’s supporting McCarthy.

When votes no longer matter the next stage is bullets. We are living in the moment in between. The only question is how long that moment will last

It is great news. Remember when he blurted out about the Benghazi hearings.

It will be a republican version of Nancy and Chuck. We need someone with principles and integrity.

The Republicans need to elect a MAGA Speaker who will refuse to recognize the election of members by obviously corrupted elections. AK with ranked choice voting not in accordance with the AK legislature? Sorry, the election isn’t recognized as legitimate. Detroit where ballots showed up in the middle of the night? Sorry, redo the election. Delaware County, PA where the ballots took an hours long detour out of view of the election watchers? Sorry, redo the election. McCarthy won’t do any of that.

Amen!! Need someone with guts to do that very thing......Gaetz, MTG just a couple that come to mind......oh,oh, Bannon! lol. I’d love to see President Trump in the Speakers Chair though......McCarthy is Paul Ryan part deux

I imagine by the time the RATS are through, they’ll convince the GOOBERS to give Nanzi’s industrial strength gavel to Dizzie Miss Lizzie Cheney.

With a three or four seat majority how is anyone going to get enough votes for Speaker. Let’s just hope the GOP doesn’t screw this up.
