Debbie Dooley, a cofounder of the national Tea Party movement, spoke with Breitbart News about how the House of Representatives is “truly the people’s house under a Kevin McCarthy speakership” and praised several of McCarthy’s commitments to the American people.
Breitbart News Saturday host Matthew Boyle opened the interview by asking Dooley to talk about why Kevin McCarthy is the right choice for speaker of the House.
Dooley compared McCarthy to former President Donald Trump because they both faced accusations of being a liberal.
“I just think Kevin was the right guy for the job and there was never going to be anyone else,” Dooley said.
LISTEN:
“I think Kevin McCarthy has done a great job. And as you said, I’ve been with Donald Trump from, 2015, and I see similarities because when I came out and endorsing Donald Trump, my friends and longtime allies that were backing Ted Cruz accuse me of supporting a liberal, they called Donald Trump a pro-choice Hillary Clinton liberal,” Dooley said.
“They were wrong about Donald Trump, and they are wrong about Kevin McCarthy.”
Speaking about the 15 votes it took to secure McCarthy’s speakership, Dooley said:
It was messy. The speaker fight was exceptionally messy. I draw the analogy; it’s like when a woman giving birth to a baby, she goes through extreme labor pains. But at the end of the day, it’s all worth it when you hold that baby in your arms. And I think what the rules package that Kevin McCarthy and the folks that were holding out the 20 is transformational. This is going to be the most conservative House in history.

and hes from the worst state in the union, not much confidence in him
What we really need to now is who can blackmail him? Wifey has a cushy job to keep her mouth shut because he is a serial philanderer, not that there’s anything wrong with that!
The next few days will tell us more about the Gang of 200(we already got what we wanted), and why they weren’t willing to give any of that up to, so America could have its House of Representatives back. Jim Jordan was foolish to think his chair position was worth more than a mouthful of spit, with McCarthy as a Tyrant speaker...
Never forget: KINZINGER was Tea Party.
Rubio won his seat by almost 20 points.
All of these activists are rebels until they achieve enough influence to get close to the establishment power brokers. Then they are willingly co-opted.
He's done a great job amassing wealth for himself. Not bad for a guy who NEVER HELD AN HONEST JOB.
