On the Russ Clark Radio Show, on Thursday Morning, at about 7:30 a.m., George Braun, Russ' Washington Correspondent, revealed why Kevin McCarthy is unsuited to be Speaker of the House.
Braun alleged it is an open secret inside the beltway, that McCarthy, who George has known for a long time, is a serial womanizer with multiple girlfriends/mistresses. George claimed McCarthy's wife, Judy McCarthy, in California, has had her silence purchased with a cushy Republican Party job to the tune of $300,000 a year. Emily stays in California and plays the dutiful wife, while Kevin plays in the District of Columbia. McCarthy is one of the richest members of Congress, with a reported net worth of 95 million dollars.
It is not unusual for powerful, wealthy men to have multiple girlfriends/mistresses. It is dangerous for them to be in positions of political power where their weakness can be leveraged by the Media and Deep State operatives.
What makes the allegations so toxic is infidelity was precisely the excuse used by Democrats against one of the most effective Republican Speakers of all time, Newt Gingrich.
This gives a partial explanation of why Democrats and Deep State operatives are happy to have McCarthy as speaker. His numerous infidelities render him vulnerable to being compromised. Thus, He is potentially controllable.
The New York Post reported it was an accusation of an affair with another House Member in 2015, which caused McCarthy to withdraw his bid for the House Speaker position.
Kevin McCarthy runs as a devout Catholic. So did Nancy Pelosi. But Nancy Pelosi's hypocrisy in supporting abortions for all, without any limits, was protected from criticism by the dominant Progressive Media.
Kevin McCarthy cannot count on Progressive Media allies to protect him from exposure and a strong political media campaign. He is a Republican. Thus, he is vulnerable, unlike Nancy Pelosi. This makes Kevin McCarthy unsuitable as Speaker of the House. He has too much baggage, rendering him subject to leftist and Deep State pressure.
Infidelity is one of those issues to which the Democrats gleefully apply double standards. When it is a Democrat such as Bill Clinton, infidelity is a private affair, only about sex, which "everyone" lies about.
When it is a Republican such as Newt Gingrich, then infidelity is a serious matter, showing lack of character, for which the perpetrator should be stripped of office.
Opinion:
This is how the Deep State/Progressives use the Media to control politicians and policy. Previously, it was famously stated that a scandal is not a scandal until the Washington Post says it is a scandal. The Washington Post has lost tremendous credibility throughout the United States and the world. But, inside the Beltway, the post is emplematic of the ability of Progressives and the Deep State to decide what is a scandal, and what is not, by the old legacy media.

Can the Republican afford to have a Speaker who is subject to pressure by Progressive Media and the Deep state?
I thought it was because of his gay lifestyle?
I don’t think anyone cares.
His constant betrayals and complete lack of conviction are concerning everyone.
The article mentions Judy and Emily as his wife?
Gingrich said Bill Clinton made him melt.
Much more than this is why McCarthy is compromised. He’s a Young Gun, with all that implies.
I wish I were an American citizen, so I could run for office. I honestly have very little interest in activities that could lead me to being compromised. They could offer up all the broads and cocaine and millions of dollars in bribes and my only interest would be serving my constituents.
Having said that, for guys like me, I understand what they do is get pictures taken that makes it seem as though I am compromised, even if I wasn’t. That would be a problem, I think. I’m without guile, but would I be believed in my protestations?
The gaydar registers strongly with this one. Also, I thought Frank Luntz was poking him in the butt at one time...
If it’s such an “open secret,” then how can it be used for blackmail?
Yes, you are right. Now I question the entire article if they can’t even get wife correct.
What about Mat Gaetz and teen girls? Is any of this true or just propaganda.
Exactly.
Lifting up the corner of the rug where all the dirt is hidden...
Oh look! That lump is that congressional slush fund that is used to dole out hush money to “fix” members’ sexual indiscretion problems.
Has this benefited McCarthy? Who else has benefited and by how much?
No, I don't trust McCarthy. And all joking aside, who knows what is going on there with Luntz and McCarthy? Creepy all around.
Republicans on the other hand adhere to an ideology founded on Judeo/Christian principles of right and wrong.
A speaker's life and behavior must generally align with these principles. A flaunting of these principles would undermine the Party's moral authority.
Much like Miss Lindsey Graham. Like nobody’s supposed to conclude he’s a homosexual. He hides it so well.
I thought bigamy would be the greater offense.
“that congressional slush fund that is used to dole out hush money to ‘fix’ members’ sexual indiscretion problems.”
That list of names was supposed to have been released in 2016. Never happened. That issue needs to be front and center ASAP. Sadly, there probably are about 300 congress critters’ names on it — male/female, D/R — so it’ll never see the light of day.
There was a time when that might have actually meant something (JFK excepted). But the current Pope has obliterated the definition of "devout Catholic."
According to Francis, "devout Catholic" might include being gay and accepting Islam as a path to God.;-)
