The scramble is on for who’s going to replace John Boehner as Speaker of the House, and one man has emerged as the clear frontrunner: California congressman Kevin McCarthy.
McCarthy is currently the House Majority Leader and thus the second ranking Republican in Congress after Boehner - he is very much part of the GOP establishment.
He also has deep ties to the Tea Party movement, which could help him unify a very, very divided party.
But even if McCarthy does become the next Speaker of the House, that doesn’t mean Congress is suddenly going to start governing the country again -- far from it.
If McCarthy becomes Speaker, that’ll just mean more of the same Republican lies and obstruction, especially when it comes to things like the Benghazi investigation, which
McCarthy himself now admits was always about sabotaging Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign.
Amazing, right?
The guy who now wants to be two heartbeats away from the presidency admits to wasting millions of taxpayer dollars in a purely political conspiracy to bring down a former Secretary of State.
That alone should disqualify Kevin McCarthy from being the next Speaker of the House.
But here’s the thing, the Benghazi conspiracy is really just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Kevin McCarthy.
