FNC co-host Brian Kilmeade said Tuesday on “Fox & Friends” said the Republican members who are refusing to vote for leader Rep. Kevin McCarthy’s (R-CA) House speakership bid were “looking like idiots.”
Kilmeade said, “If they said ‘Hey, listen, he won’t do anything on the border. He’s not doing anything with Hunter Biden. He is not going to do anything to go reduce spending.’ None of this is true, so it’s almost as if they’re debating things that are their egos, nothing to do with America. I’m not even talking about Republicans. Republicans or Democrats, they can’t grab onto anything except for, I guess, they want to get a little bit more notoriety in their lives.”

kilmeade still eats lead based paint chips.
Kevin McCarthy is all about Kevin McCarthy...Go back to California!
McCarthy has not shown sufficient ability to get things done in Conhress before.
McCarthy has been 99.9% talk and .1% walk.
What a putz....................
Kilmeade is about as conservative as Joe Scarborough...
They look like principled patriots to me.
Confirmation that they’re doing the right thing.
Trump playing politics. He thinks he’ll possibly be working with the UniParty and will need their cooperation immediately. His re-election is his priority. I believe we can do better without the UniParty. I believe the UniParty will not support President Trump. We better remove the UniParty power or we’re done.
Luv all of the replies. All spot on.
So what is the plan? Who do they WANT as Speaker and is there any path that will make it happen?
The Kabuki Theater is being setup for McCarthy to claim “you know I tried to negotiate with those crazy right wingers, but they are so insane I had to partner with these moderate Democrats for my last votes, as they are much more reasonable, so “the people’s” business can get done in the House.
Kilmeade wants the uniparty to select a true believer, just like the last three RINO speakers of the house :
Denny Hastert, John Boehner, and Paul Ryan.
... Because Brian Kilmeade says so about the strawman he set up.
Brian Kilmeade won a game ball that
evening at the WH correspondents dinner when he punched out Al Franken.
Since then, just a typical ghostwritten FOX dude. So what?
Probably. And he'll have zero legitimacy with his own caucus when it happens and the dems assume the role of de facto Speaker.
Stick to your half assed job of doing sports Kilmeade. Stay out of the political world.
Of course it would be their fault. They opened the door by starting this contest. One which they hsd zero hope of winning. The vote before Christmas was 188 to 31 for McCarthy. Now all but nine of the 31 are backing McCarthy. Even Trump backs McCarthy. This is nuts. Just vote McCarthy. If people here think McCarthy and his backers are uniparty, well then there are 426 uniparty members of the House. How does the MAGA movement deal with those numbers when even the MAGA leader supports the guy who is supposed to be Uniparty..
Fox News beating the UNIPARTY DRUM very loudly. F$&%^ THE BASE! You will do what we tell you is good.
We’ll see how much support he loses within the caucus if/when Democrat votes push him over the top. Most of those RINO congresspeople would probably just unite behind him to help further ostracize the Uniparty defectors.
“Trump playing politics. He thinks he’ll possibly be working with the UniParty and will need their cooperation immediately. “
His dissin’ McConnell does not fit your hypothesis.
