McCarthy Rips Republicans Opposing His Speaker Bid

“Our goal was to stop the Biden agenda, win the majority, and fire Nancy Pelosi. We achieved all three of those.

“I’ve been leader for four years and all we’ve done is win seats when every other Republican entity has lost during that time.

“I do not think at the end of the day that five Republicans are going to hold up our opportunity to secure the border, or that five Republicans are going to sit back and make us not be energy independent, or let this runaway spending continue.

“I think on January 3 or before then, we’ll have the votes.” – Kevin McCarthy, responding to Fox News host’s questions about the Freedom Caucus group opposing his bid for House Speaker.
