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.

Not at all. I just don’t like the idea of guys who lost a vote 188-31 trying to dictate the result anyway. Frankly, it’s babyish, and I’d feel the same way if the votes had been flipped, and McCarthy was trying the same crap.
Is she Pelosi? Is she a b****? Ruthless? Then I want her. Otherwise, no. Even McCarthy would be better than Stefinak.
Then McCarthy will have to convince them. Consider it a test on whether he can become a Speaker.
The list is short I agree...
It could end up being someone we have not heard of before but they tend to go for someone people know and who are in leadership so that would be Scalise or the other one Stefinak.
I dont know whether they could command 218 votes or not but I think Scalise is the most likely to get there? He is quite conservative from memory. I’m not saying he’s perfect just plausible.
What I find interesting is conservatives have always been told by the RINOs to suck it up for the good of the party. Now it’s their turn and their guy McCarthy should go for the good of the party.
Will he?
we need a non fudge packer representative...
homo and globo rhyme... and if we know one, we will experience the globo part after we allow the homo type.
really we need someone who does not lust after the same sex crap... or live with another male/male situation either.

question: when was the last time mccarthy did anything for the good of the party?
just askin'
Paul Ryan is a swamp creature personified.
Is that for real? Hahahaha
No. What's babyish is participating in an intraparty vote, losing badly, but then stamping your foot and saying you'll sabotage the winner if you don't get your way despite having lost.
If they think the party is too corrupt to support, then they shouldn't have run as Republicans at all, but rather as independents/third party.
Trump got around 45% of the primary vote in 2016, but more than 90% of Republicans voted for him in the general election. Why? Because we all realize that the Republican, even if not our preferred candidate, is still going to be better than the Democrat.
But now, it appears the reverse is happening. McCarthy was the overwhelming winner of the caucus vote - it wasn't even close. But, the members of the caucus who lost that vote are now taking the Bush/Cheney approach from 2016 and 2020, and trying to sabotage the party's chosen representative.
I didn't like it when they did it, and I don't like it now.
Sorry, but FTX money doesn’t explain a 188-31 vote.
It was published in 2010, it’s still for sale on Amazon.com.
Didn’t trump endorse McCarthy? Defying trump is a death sentence, politically.
No it isnt
Sounds awesome. I pray they’re successful.
