"Past history is the greatest indicator of future results. And there’s nothing from Kevin McCarthy’s past that tells you that he’s the right person to fight [the radicals in the Democrat Party].

I think I might have said this to you yesterday, but we saw this anger and this intensity and this toughness on display in a Republican conference meeting yesterday morning where he essentially declared war on the 20 0f us and really made threatening remarks, and really got very emotional, and very intense. And, you know if we had seen that same kind of fight directed at Democrat policies, directed at the Biden Administration, directed at the Democrats controlling both Houses of Congress, over these past 2 years or even the 12 years he’s been in leadership, we’d probably be in a different situation we find ourselves today…America’s hungry for leadership."

What needs to work are the 20 anti-America, anti-Conservative holdouts.

No opinion. Fact. We win the house and 20 nobodies making us look like idiots and preventing the work from starting. The libbies are laughing at us. They made their point and got more than they deserved. They are doing the work of the establishment now and hopefully never get re-elected.

Yes, liberals tend to read what people wrote before replying

"January 4, 2023
Washington, DC

Conservative organizations and the millions of grassroots conservatives we represent are united in our support of the 20 courageous members of Congress seeking to change the status quo in Washington.

Over the past decade, the House has grown increasingly autocratic. Rank and file members are routinely denied a chance to participate in the legislative process, committees are ignored, deals and loopholes for interests abound, and there is virtually no amendment process for any bills, large or small. The outcome reflects the process: bills that cater to a handful of members in leadership and K street lobbyists, but ignore the priorities of the voters.

Months ago, these members made clear that this established way of doing things was no longer acceptable. They made public a series of proposed reforms designed to democratize the House – to engage the broader membership in legislating, and bring accountability back to the People’s House.

Rather than engage them in a good faith negotiation, Rep. Kevin McCarthy has instead maligned both the requests and the messengers. He has publicly and through proxies leveled attacks against members of his own party, including threatening to deny committee assignments for those who continue to oppose him. Moreover, he has failed to answer for, or commit to halting, his coordinated efforts in the 2022 elections to promote moderate Republican candidates over conservatives.

Because of this, he has thus far failed to garner the 218 votes necessary to lead the House GOP conference in three separate rounds of voting. The job of the Speaker is to garner consensus among disparate factions of the party, and unite them.

These members represents the millions of voters across the country who are disgusted with the business-as-usual, self-interested governance in Washington. We stand behind them and beside them in their courageous efforts to find a Speaker of the House who will represent the interests of conservatives. We encourage more conservative members to join their ranks."

GOP voters elected their representatives. Representatives vote for speaker. The populace mob doesn't get a say (you sound VERY liberal touting that nonsense). The majority of the GOP votes that matter are for him. Why are you for RINO obstruction?
