New House Leadership, Not More of the Same

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute. 

Next week, House Republicans will elect a replacement for outgoing Speaker John Boehner.  His loyalists want it to be Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy.  They’re now on notice that would be a disaster.  

On Tuesday, McCarthy floundered as Fox News’ Sean Hannity pressed for evidence the Boehner team had delivered on the promises that gave them a huge Republican majority. In desperation, the Congressman claimed the GOP-initiated select committee on Benghazi had “driven down Hillary Clinton’s poll numbers.”

Almost as bad as the sheer stupidity of affirming a false Democrat narrative that the investigation is a partisan ploy was McCarthy’s repeated – and utterly unconvincing –  mouthing of talking points disavowing that was his intent during a return appearance on Fox last night. 

Kevin McCarthy is clearly unqualified and ill-suited for the job.  Republicans must come up with another, superior choice.
