National File has exclusively learned that 27 members of the House Freedom Caucus are prepared to vote for establishment leader Kevin McCarthy for Speaker, despite his refusal to get rid of Nancy Pelosi’s left-wing House rules, and his use of corrupt FTX money to sabotage conservatives in the 2022 midterms. National File has learned that, in addition to members like Reps. Jim Jordan (OH) and Marjorie Taylor Greene (GA), who are parroting uni-party talking points in their support of Kevin McCarthy, over two dozen more “conservative” members of the House Freedom Caucus say they’ll support the establishment leader on January 3rd.
Included in the score of Freedom Caucus McCarthy supporters are Reps. Ben Cline (VA), Morgan Griffith (VA), Barry Moore (AL), Gary Palmer (AL), Ken Buck (CO), and Byron Donalds (FL).
Other notables include Reps. Alex Mooney (WV), Randy Weber (TX), Clay Higgins (LA), Warren Davidson (OH), Jeff Duncan (SC), Diana Harschbarger (TN), and Mark Green (TN).
This support for McCarthy from within the Freedom Caucus, members of which purport to stand for the American People and against the globalist powers that be, comes despite historic opposition to McCarthy’s speakership run from Freedom Caucus Reps. Andy Biggs (AZ), Bob Good (VA), Ralph Norman (SC), and Matt Gaetz (FL), all of whom say they won’t be voting for McCarthy for Speaker under any circumstances.
It also comes despite an internal Freedom Caucus memo, which was exclusively obtained and published by National File, and which lays out the case for making President Trump the next Speaker of the House, while also listing Freedom Caucus priorities and qualifications for a Speaker candidate – approximately none of which are met by Kevin McCarthy.

“Donald is not a House member it has little to do with him”
Seriously? Donald gave his endorsement and encouraged House members to support McCarthy and you think that is of little significance?
MTG sold her soul to McCarthy for plum committee assignments.
(McCarthy pulled her Committee Assignments a year or so ago)
If McCarthy does not win the Speakership on the 1st and 2nd Vote,
Alternatives will emerge. And it won’t be Democrats like Levin and MTG
have been fearmongering about.
He may be the alternative that emerges after the 1st and 2nd Speaker vote.
Ryan and McCarthy are friends. In November Ryan said: "McCarthy will clinch speakership," and he then went on to blame Trump for the midterm losses. McCarthy and Ryan...two turds who have been floating in the cess pool called Washington, for far too long.
Jim Jordan is my rep.
He’s supporting Kev. He also voted for that lush Boehner over Louie Gohmert.
I don’t understand what goes on in his head sometimes.
Maybe they’re smarter than FREepers who don’t know everything they know.
In reality the only two reps likely to get 218 votes are McCarthy and Scalise.
“In reality the only two reps likely to get 218”
And therein lies the real problem. They can’t get a consensus among republicans due to the moderate turds in the party.
That’s the long and short of it.
It’s not that difficult to understand
The “Freedom Caucus”, in effect dedicated to reforming the Mafia from within.
Yep.
Shes lost her mind if she believes anything the used carsalesman McCarthy tells her.
He is a phony?
She's a naive novice floundering in the deep swamp.
And by extension, these so called freedom Caucus members will be equally complicit with every traitorous tactic employed by McTraitor and company.
They should be expelled from the caucus.
“Any of em....don’t care who it is...that support this useless UniParty hack, need to be gone with him.”
Trump backs McCarthy for speaker, warns of ‘doomsday’ if GOP doesn’t come together
“Shes lost her mind if she believes anything the used carsalesman McCarthy tells her.”
Maybe she is listening to Trump?
“..Trump backs McCarthy for speaker, warns of ‘doomsday’ if GOP doesn’t come together....”
FWIW, doomsday is already knocking on the GOP’s door after yesterday’s performance.
Those that voted for that monstrosity of BS and kissing Saint. Zelensky’s arse should be immediately kicked out of the party. But no...they’ll be coddled and loved as usual.
McConnell, McCarthy, etc. are all nothing but UniParty hacks. They could have stopped this, but no, they allowed it while giving the People the finger.
Oh, and BTW, Trump has backed many a loser....McCarthy will just be added to the ever-growing list.
Do I sound pissed? You betcha......
No I don’t believe Jim’s a phony. Some of his HR choices suck, just like President Trump’s.
It’s smart for Gaetz and the other 4 to be going after McCarthy in this way. Instead of presenting an alternative that could be attacked, they are waiting to formally block McCarthy first and get him to quit. I don’t know who the alternative will be, but it can’t be much worse than McCarthy. Maybe Scalia?
