McCarthy, the last of the GOP "Young Guns" flying false colors.

from PBS Frontline 2013

..."The self-proclaimed “Young Guns” began plotting their rise just as many Republicans feared the party was doomed.

But Eric Cantor, Kevin McCarthy and Paul Ryan, three young House Republicans, had a plan to move the party away from the dusty establishment and into the 21st century.

“They fancied themselves the new Reagan revolution, but they represented a conservatism that Ronald Reagan never even attempted,” said Jackie Calmes, who covered their rise for The New York Times. “And it was an uncompromising conservatism, when in fact, as we remember, Ronald Reagan compromised many times. … They represent the face of a Republican Party that has moved ever-rightward as the base of the party moved South and West.”

Flat-out lie: RINOs are globalist Neocons (Trotskyists).

The only thing they conserve is the New World Order for their masters.
