Meet the Freedom Caucus Members Supporting Kevin McCarthy for Speaker
National File ^ | Dec 23 | by FRANKIE STOCKES

Posted on 12/23/2022 2:18:50 PM PST by RandFan

National File has exclusively learned that 27 members of the House Freedom Caucus are prepared to vote for establishment leader Kevin McCarthy for Speaker, despite his refusal to get rid of Nancy Pelosi’s left-wing House rules, and his use of corrupt FTX money to sabotage conservatives in the 2022 midterms. National File has learned that, in addition to members like Reps. Jim Jordan (OH) and Marjorie Taylor Greene (GA), who are parroting uni-party talking points in their support of Kevin McCarthy, over two dozen more “conservative” members of the House Freedom Caucus say they’ll support the establishment leader on January 3rd.

Included in the score of Freedom Caucus McCarthy supporters are Reps. Ben Cline (VA), Morgan Griffith (VA), Barry Moore (AL), Gary Palmer (AL), Ken Buck (CO), and Byron Donalds (FL).

Other notables include Reps. Alex Mooney (WV), Randy Weber (TX), Clay Higgins (LA), Warren Davidson (OH), Jeff Duncan (SC), Diana Harschbarger (TN), and Mark Green (TN).

This support for McCarthy from within the Freedom Caucus, members of which purport to stand for the American People and against the globalist powers that be, comes despite historic opposition to McCarthy’s speakership run from Freedom Caucus Reps. Andy Biggs (AZ), Bob Good (VA), Ralph Norman (SC), and Matt Gaetz (FL), all of whom say they won’t be voting for McCarthy for Speaker under any circumstances.

It also comes despite an internal Freedom Caucus memo, which was exclusively obtained and published by National File, and which lays out the case for making President Trump the next Speaker of the House, while also listing Freedom Caucus priorities and qualifications for a Speaker candidate – approximately none of which are met by Kevin McCarthy.

Eli Crane, Congressman elect from AZ-2, has indicated he will not vote for McCarthy.

Paul Gosar, AZ-9 and perhaps the most conservative Congressman in the country is missing from both lists.

We might as well see if Paul Ryan will be Speaker for us again. He was such a swell Joe last time.

Just like the Tea Party. A few plum committee assignments and the Freedom Caucus is ready to sell out.

It appears so.

But it doesn’t matter if the 5 rebels stay strong.

I can’t believe he wants to keep all of Pelosi’s rules?!

McCarthy is unbelievable.

Hey, waddaya expect?
It’s partisan politics.
It’s how the “game” is played.
Electability is all that matters while ideology is thrown out with the trash.
Control, power and the attendant riches are the prize.

Not saying I agree with it, but it is what it is.

My comment, and research shared on another FR thread:

Marjorie Taylor Greene: If Republicans Want To Get Things Done, There’s Only One Choice For House Speaker

McCarthy voted for the original Omnibus Bill when it was introduced in the House back in March. Marjorie Taylor Greene voted no on that Bill, yet she's endorsed McCarthy for Speaker, because she wants her committee seats back. She was just complaining the other day about the U.S. sending money overseas. Not only do Congress critters lose their spines when they go to Washington, they obviously lose their brains as well.
