Freedom Caucus Rep. Bob Good (VA-5) joined the nationally-syndicated Stew Peters Show and vowed never to vote for Kevin McCarthy for Speaker of the House, telling the host that the GOP establishment leader will be defeated on the House floor during January 3rd’s speakership vote if he doesn’t step aside first, for the good of the country.
Freedom Caucus Rep. Bob Good has been among those legislators leading the charge against establishment leader Kevin McCarthy’s speakership campaign, forging serious and continued opposition with other House conservatives, who vow that CCP-tied, FTX-funded McCarthy will NEVER be Speaker of the House.
During his appearance on the Stew Peters Show, a program that’s become a top destination for America First legislators who want to speak directly to the American People, Good doubled down on his opposition to Kevin McCarthy’s speakership campaign and said he’s confident that his conservative colleagues will stand tall alongside him on January 3rd.
“I have told my colleagues, the 20 or so who are part of this movement, we will remember what we do on January 3rd and beyond for the rest of our lives,” Rep. Good told Stew Peters.
“We must meet the moment. We must rise to the occasion to try to bring transformational change, to defeat the swamp cartel, the uni-party, by doing what hasn’t been done for 100 years where we deny the next in line, majority leader, minority leader, what have you, the vote for Speaker on the House floor, and we take down that supposed favorite for that position to bring true transformational change,” the Freedom Caucus Rep. from Virginia went on.
“We will remember for the rest of our lives that we stood strong and struck a blow against the uni-party, the swamp cartel,” said Rep. Good.

McCarthy must go. RINO.
Amen
May it be so.
there are instances where I have no clue as to the right thing to do. why? because of the law of unintended consequences.
I don’t understand how this plays out.
imho the gop needs a real fighter in the house—one at least as good as the dem speaker what’s her name.
Is McCarthy that person? I don’t know. I know he is not the most conservative. But a person can be the most conservative and yet have poor leadership skills, poor organizational skills, poor political skills.
what we have not seen is some one more conservative than McCarthy— to step up and offer a convincing alternative to McCarthy. the emphasis in the last sentence should be on “convincing alternative”-and not “more conservative”
The GOP Senate leadership just proved that it really doesn’t matter whether the GOP or Dems are in charge…especially if the leader is a weak RINO. Hold tight.
McCarthy is a liar with no principles. He needs to be defeated.
I’m glad Bannon has been pounding on McCarthy every day.
McCarthy is a backstabbing RINO liar.

McCarthy must go. RINO.
******
Do you have an alternative to the right of McCarthy who can win election as Speaker? Don’t forget— we have a slim majority.
Yea!!!!
What happens after the dog catches the car?
(AKA once defeated who’s gonna win?)
I want McCarthy gone to. But I hope they have thought past his defeat.
They just keep voting. It hasn’t happened for a while but can take weeks or months if necessary.
Look, McCarthy is a uniparty/RINO/Establishment guy... he’s going to be the speaker.. and will be forced to expose the nonsense that is the uniparty reality in the process.
If he can’t get enough votes form the Republican caucus, he will absolutely cut a deal to get some democrat votes in exchange for something, nor many somethings.
These people literally were co conspirators in stealing an election to remove the non uniparty person from power, you think for one second they are going to step aside? Absolutely not.
I hope I am surprised when this is all said and done, and am proven wrong, but I fully expect McCarthy will be the speaker and he will “sell out” (but not really, because he’s part of the establishment/uniparty/globalist cabal, and whatever “sell out” he does to get the votes, was something they were planning to do anyway, just not so openly about it in the future anyway).
We shall see.. I hope I am proven wrong, but I am at the point where I’ve seen the man behind the curtain and can’t pretend I haven’t any longer.
McCarthy should be investigated for enriching himself at the expense of the common citizen. Same goes for most of Congress.
McCarthy is nothing but a lying, thieving, back-stabbing UniParty hack.
He could have stopped this monstrosity of a bill until the next session.
He’s as useless as teats on a feral boar hog.
He sold us out...he needs to be gone regardless of who’s pushing him.
It is imperative, absolutely imperative that Kevin McCarthy be defeated.
1. The Republicans won’t hand the house over to a Democrat. That’s a scare tactic used by McCarthy supporters.
2. Once McCarthy is defeated, another Republican will step forward. It would be foolish for a viable candidate to run for Speaker while McCarthy is still in the picture.
3. The next Speaker will be a moderate. Conservatives don’t have the numbers to get elected.
If McCarthy can't win within 218 votes in the first few ballots, a small group of RINOS will likely work with DEMS to select one of the furthest left Republicans in the House as Speaker. We could end up with a Speaker that makes McCarthy look like a rock ribbed conservative. Essentially, the Dems will decide the agenda. That's the "doomsday scenario".
Great.
What’s plan B?
Steve Scalise the most likely able to unite everyone but he wont go for it as you say if McCarthy is still in the picture and that’s if he wants it.
There aren’t many others I can think of....
Then people are going to have to rise up against Trump. Trump will fight to keep his people in.
