Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy delivered his farewell address on the House floor, commending Democrats for their embodiment of America’s diversity while censuring his own party. Once holding the Speaker’s gavel, McCarthy saw his tenure end abruptly in October after a historic ousting due to his failed leadership.
Earlier this month, McCarthy announced that he is retiring from Congress at the end of the year.
“I have decided to depart the House at the end of this year to serve America in new ways. I know my work is only getting started,” McCarthy wrote in a Wall Street Journal.

Thank you Matt Gaetz. We've still got a long way to go, but getting rid of closet dimocrat in the leadership is a good start.

Truly a fraud, RINO.
THIS is the kind of lying backstabbers that infest the Republican Party, and make sure that we can never get ahead against the DC Deep State UniParty Criminal Cabal.
Damn his evil, black heart.

This is indeed why the Republican party is always on the losing side.
Too many of the people who call themselves Republicans are secretly Democrats.

He made a better Democrat than Republican.
The republicrat party is so full of guys like this I won't even talk to them any more.
It's just another sign that the end has arrived. The Republic has been lost. Nothing is true anymore.

#8, considering the fiasco that the House has become, now down to a "majority" of what, 1?, and watching Johnson and his ilk vote right along on the FISA issue today, I don't think there's much to apologize about. He hasn't shown yet that he's much different than his predecessor, honestly.

Doesn't Kevin know Country Club Republicans are a thing of the past? The Democrat Party is now the party of the elites, whereas the Republican Party has become the party of the working man.

Boehner, Ryan, McCarthy. ALL crooked DC Deep State Criminal Cabal fakers, pretending to be Republican leaders when actually being crooked Dems.
And now, after the disaster oof redoing the FBI spying under FISA, I'm beginning to think that Johnson is just another Dem in Deep Cover.

For homosexuals like McCarthy, nothing else matters...certainly not party loyalty, nor seeking office under a false flag, and certainly not representing the constituency that elected him.
But we all knew that already, from his RINO leadership in Congress.
So...how many more are still there?

Mr. Former House Speaker, it appears that you spoke to an empty room with the exception of a small handful of fellow rino pubbies and dims sitting in the back of the room. After you were elected House Speaker after the fifteenth ballot, I thought you were up to the task to serve America proudly. Q - What went wrong? A - saying one thing and doing another. When you go home don't forget to take your ball. Depending which DC lobbying firm hires you, it will look good on your new desk.

We are waiting for the apologies from Mark Levin, Judge Jeanine, and others who went after Matt Gaetz and 7 others for voting to remove Kevin from office. Does anyone want to take a bet when that will be? We not only agreed with Matt but sent him a donation at that time.

I, too, was really caught off guard with some of the replies on this website about Matt Gaetz. I did not understand the vitriol aimed at him and I will explain.
From the article: "I have decided to depart the House at the end of this year to serve America in new ways. I know my work is only getting started,” McCarthy wrote in a Wall Street Journal." So it takes Kevin McCarthy leaving office to serve America in new ways? Why couldn't he do that while he was in office?
You see, I want a clean and effective government. I want a government that truly works for ALL Americans. Not just some. I want a government that is innovative and always challenging itself to do the very best. I want a government that says what it does and does what it says. It is called transparent and honest. I want a United States government that realized we are a melting pot society and it should be serving all citizens not just one focus group. Most of all, I want a government that leads in God's ways and not in their own narrow view of the world. Seems like all we get are people who lean on their own understanding. . .

Speaker Johnson is similar in nature to Gerald Ford. He's there to keep the peace until the Rats steal the House back in 2024. Mail in voter fraud and ballot harvesting will put them back in control and the GOP losers will say nothing. Meanwhile, Johnson will carry on funding everything and our debt will rise a few trillion more.
