Kevin McCarthy Secretly Working Against Trump’s Attempts to Replace House Republicans With MAGA Insurgents

Former President Donald Trump has made a show of targeting many of the 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach him in the wake of the Jan. 6 Capitol riot — in an attempt to replace them with MAGA insurgents. But one new report says that the ranking House Republican has been working behind the scenes against that effort.

According to CNN, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) has quietly raised $100,000 for five of the 10 members of Congress thought to be in Trump’s crosshairs. McCarthy is said to be concerned that should a far-right candidate win a primary in those swing districts, they would stand no chance against a Democrat in a general election. And with control of the House likely to come down to a precious few seats in 2022, McCarthy believes those moderates may be the key to his reclaiming the Speaker’s chair.

The CNN report indicates that McCarthy has even gone so far as to ask Trump to back off on two House moderates — Rep. John Katko (R-NY) and Rep. David Valadao (R-CA).

CNN’s Melanie Zanona interviewed one Republican candidate attempting to oust a Trump-targeted moderate — Rep. Jamie Herrera Beutler (R-WA). That candidate, Joe Kent, sounded off on McCarthy.

“McCarthy is talking out of one side of his mouth — saying he supports the MAGA movement, Trump and President Trump’s policies,” Kent said, according to Zanona. “But his money is supporting Jamie Herrera Beutler and four of the other impeachment voters. It’s just part of the GOP grift. So me and the rest of the base, we’ve kind of have heard enough from them.”

America is dead and dying because of him, Romney, Ryan,
McConnell and his Chinese sisters, and the RINOS.

THEY ARE THE INFECTIOUS SCUM that ruin a country.
THEY are the scum that steal donations for others,
as they traffic US secrets, women and children
for cocaine, and ELECTION FRAUD.

THE GOP never has had accountability.

I can see making smallish donations in return for getting one your operatives a job inside the opponent’s campaign. Not everything actually is the way CNN says it is.

[HYPOCRACY]

Still waiting for the expose that says turtle McConnell is secretly working against Trump too.

Dump the a$$hole!!

Wasn’t McCarthy paul Ryan’s annointed choice for replacement?

[MikelTackNailer]

This lying fraud killed the CA gop by secretly signing off on that phony bipartisan redistricting plan that wiped out 15 Gop state seats but saved his district.

Hence insuring California remains a one-party state. Being the tool of Silicon Valley Big Tech (all of whom are rabidly Leftist after they count their profits), McCarthy is a product of his state's system where Pelosi, Feinstein and Democrats get the gravy while Republicans sit at the kiddie table with second best.

Rightful President Trump has got to stop playing nice with these weasels who repeatedly back-stab him. Better to lose a few races than allow these termites to continue undermining our foundation from within.

insurgents, nice snark in the headline

And with control of the House likely to come down to a precious few seats in 2022, McCarthy believes those moderates may be the key to his reclaiming the Speaker’s chair.

What is the point of holding the House if it comes down to a razor-thin majority made up of squishy RINOs who don't like President Trump?

“Wasn’t McCarthy paul Ryan’s annointed choice for replacement?”

Boehner put all these people in the leadership line. Most of them are gone now.

[Soul of the South]

“Wasn’t McCarthy paul Ryan’s annointed choice for replacement?”

Yes. He was elected House minority leader by a vote of 153-43 defeating conservative Jim Jordan.

Anyone who thinks a Republican majority in the House of Representatives will save them from tyranny should look at the vote above. Only 21% of the Republican members of the House voted for a conservative leader versus 79% who voted for the Hastert, Boehner, Ryan, McCarthy business as usual style of leadership.

Until House Republicans throw out the RINO leadership nothing will change. Nearly 80% of the Republicans in the House today are completely happy with accommodating to Democrat rule and focusing on padding their own pockets.

How did your Republican representative vote in the 2020 election of Mr. McCarthy? If your representative voted for the status quo, you know where your Congressman will stand when your personal liberty is being trampled.

Consider the above when or if you vote in the 2022 primary and general election.

“Yet, Trump has repeatedly said he meets with Kevin and it’s always been good.”

Trump often meets with Lindsey Graham too.

Secretly?

[wjcsux]

I’ve never trusted him.

MSN and CNN enjoy their hobby of dividing us any way they can.

If McCarthy is working secretly, then how do these people know?

We’re back to “sources familiar with the secret”………

[Dawgreg]

President Trump, time to put Kevin McCarthy in the crosshairs.

Way past time. I don’t trust that SOB and the thought of him being Speaker makes me sick! I hope they don’t vote him in for that position. Make President Trump Speaker until campaign season.....what a hoot, can you imagine how many Deep Staters would soil their drawers if he became Speaker?? It’s nice to think about it anyhoo.

YES!!!!!!!

[dfwgator]

This is why every Republican House member must be primaried out, they are all suspect.

[Scrambler Bob]

Politicians have a forked tounge.

Kevin seems to speak from a forked bu77hole.

[FLT-bird]

There’s nothing “secret” about it at all. He’s throwing party money behind establishment RINOs.

Obviously he’s almost as much of a problem as the Turtle is. Both need to go.
