RINO Kevin McCarthy is Elected House Speaker After an Excruciating 15 Rounds of Voting
After 15 rounds of voting, RINO Kevin McCarthy was finally coronated as House Speaker early Saturday morning.
He received 216 votes, receiving the support of every Congressional Republican with only 6 exceptions. Reps. Andy Biggs of Arizona, Bob Good of Virginia, Matt Gaetz of Florida, Lauren Boebert of Colorado, Matt Rosendale of Montana and Eli Crane of Arizona voted present, giving McCarthy the total number of votes needed to become Speaker.

Many concessions are expected from McCarthy to House Freedom Caucus members, which were needed in order to pave the way for McCarthy’s narrow victory in the 15th speaker vote after being repeatedly disgraced in prior votes.
Big League Politics has reported on McCarthy’s many betrayals of conservative values and the constitution in the past:
“Back in 2017 when President Donald Trump embraced gun control in the form of a ban on “bump stocks,” he was being advised by establishment villains who encouraged him to turn his back on the 2nd Amendment.
Chief among them was Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), who now hopes to become the next House speaker with a slim Republican majority in Congress.

After the suspicious mass shooting in Las Vegas that was covered up by authorities and memory holed, McCarthy took aim at gun rights, claiming that he talked to “a number of [Congressmen] who want to look into” banning bump stocks, which can be used to modify semiautomatic firearms to mimic automatic weapons.
“I think this is an area we can look at,” he said, joining the drive of former House Speaker Paul Ryan who was leading the charge.
“Fully automatic weapons have been banned for a long time,” Ryan said during an appearance on MSNBC. “Apparently, this allows you to take a semiautomatic and turn it into a fully automatic. So clearly that’s something we need to look into.”
… Thanks to the counsel of RINOs like McCarthy, President Donald Trump would go on to ban bump stocks – one of the most shameful and unconstitutional policies he enacted as president.
“We are faithfully following President Trump’s leadership by making clear that bump stocks, which turn semiautomatics into machine guns, are illegal, and we will continue to take illegal guns off of our streets,” former acting attorney general Matthew Whitaker said.”
Only time will tell if McCarthy lives up to his word and gives the House Freedom Caucus the power they need to reform the Congressional swamp as Speaker. There’s no reason for conservatives to be hopeful though considering RINO McCarthy’s awful record.
