So It took 15 rounds of votes to elect Kevin McCarthy as the next Speaker of the House. The way the fake news has been presenting this process makes it look like it is the end of the Republic. Hell Biden even said that he would bypass Congress to get things done. Well no douche, you can’t rule by executive order!
There have been 54 Speakers of the House. Don’t think for one moment McCarthy’s bid for Speaker is the only one to take this long. The longest Speaker vote took two months and 133 votes. So why didn’t the media cover this Speaker vote as a normal process? Why was the media painting the Republican party in chaos? Representative Dan Crenshaw even called his own colleagues, terrorists because they wouldn’t vote for McCarthy.
So how did we get to all of this “chaos” as the media called it? The Freedom Caucus formed in 2015 is a group of 20 to 30 conservative Republicans that believe in a limited Federal Government, a balanced budget and the Second Amendment. Pretty simple stuff. If you look at the history in 2016 when President Trump was elected, they probably didn’t know what they were getting to make a move. RINO Paul Ryan was elected Speaker of the House that year. In 2018 and 2020 we get Nancy Pelosi as Speaker of the House. None of us really like McCarthy we see him as compromised and a RINO. What damn near a perfect time to flex your muscle.
We can’t move on with out mentioning Sean Hannity. While all the “chaos” was supposedly going on he had Lauren Boebert on his show. This supposed conservative, Republican Fox News host, literally almost had a meltdown on his show. Lauren Boebert was trying to explain what was happening with the Freedom Caucus and McCarthy via his questions. Sean kept interrupting her and did not allow her to answer any of his questions. He answered them for her. When she did try to get her point across you could hear him pound on his desk with his frustration. What 60 yr old gets frustrated with someone else’s opinion? Not a person that loves a limited government, a balanced budget and the second amendment.
Here is my take. The Freedom Caucus just stood up for the citizens of the United States of America. The thing we all need to remember is this country is a Constitutional Republic, not a Democracy. This was a historic Speaker of the House vote. It was done in front of the public and all the dirty little deeds done in front of us to witness. In all my time on this Earth stuff like this was not done in front of the voters. All of the deep dark behind the scenes deals made by McCarthy were pushed out by the Freedom Caucus. It showed how desperate McCarthy was to be Speaker of the House. He literally gave up everything to have the gavel. This was the best thing that could have happened. There is not going to be one bill passed by the 118th Congress so don’t get your hopes up. This was a win for the public because of the investigative powers delegated to the House of Representatives by the Constitution. All of the B.S. we have seen the last 7 years can at least come to light and we, the public, can come to our own conclusions!!
