Rolling Stone ^ | Fri, January 6, 2023 | Asawin Suebsaeng and Tessa Stuart

Kevin McCarthy was well aware he was going to lose his bid to become Speaker of the House of Representatives on the first ballot, three people with knowledge of the situation told Rolling Stone. What he was not privately predicting was that the beatings would continue for an entire week.

Gaetz has never been charged let alone convicted of any sex or any other crimes.
Not even by the corrupt Garland DOJ.

This is just another hit piece to drag Gaetz through the muck again.

One thing’s for sure, after all this is over Gaetz isn’t going to get so much as an extra roll of TP from McCarthy.

That'll be stupid. If the Republicans had 20 more members, then maybe yes.

Well - it is the incredibly-Marxist Rolling Stone fishwrap...

I won’t click on it, but Matt should have said that was one of the reasons.

And what’s one of the reasons they don’t have 20 more members? McCarthy, who stabbed his own party members in the back with dirty FTX money. He’s a weasel and having him as speaker is not much better than Pelosi, Ryan or Boehner. At least we can take solace from the fact that he will be the butt of jokes for years to come while we suffer the tyranny of this class of wicked clowns.

Can’t believe Rolling Stone wrote this article

One Republican who knows both Gaetz and McCarthy says they even once asked the latter why Gaetz dislikes him so much. This source recalls McCarthy answering: “I don’t know.”

To me, Kev is one of those people who cab count to 3 and still get two of the numbers wrong.

He is a moron and I look forward to learning what he had to concede on Monday

I hope his doctor gives him medical clearance to work after being on his knees so long.

Frank Lutz will hold Kev earmly all weekend

Amazing how RINOS will go to the gutter to fight conservatives in their private little club but will run screaming into the night if the Democrats just say their name.

By 24 this GOP House will be utterly despised by FR conservatives and conservatives everywhere. Unless Trump runs they will be obliterated in the general election and the GOPE will not allow Trump to win. The GOPE has ignited the chasm that has been simmering beneath the surface since 1990. A house dived cannot stand. If the GOP loses 5% of base vote they lose the presidency, house and senate. And the GOPE has went out of their way to highly insult, batter and trash it’s base this week. The damage done is irreparable.

“Three people with knowledge of the situation” told Rolling Stones

That’s good enough for me.
