Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (RINO-CA) has announced he is retiring from Congress at the end of the year.
This from thegatewaypundit.com.
McCarthy wrote in the Wall Street Journal:
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.
I will continue to recruit our country’s best and brightest to run for elected office. The Republican Party is expanding every day, and I am committed to lending my experience to support the next generation of leaders.
The Republicans barely have a majority in the House after Santos was expelled.
NOTE: Earlier this month 105 RINO-Uniparty Republicans made the historic move to expel conservative Republican George Santos from Congress. Santos, who has not been convicted of anything and is alleged to have performed much less wrong than many congressional communists/globalists—U.S. Sen. Bob Menendez comes to mind—was the most conservative freshman member of Congress. Of course, the Uniparty needed to deal him out.
There were rumors that Kevin McCarthy led the efforts to remove Santos and make it easier for the [communist/globalist crime syndicate] to continue to destroy the country.
Kevin McCarthy was ousted as House Speaker in October in a 216-210 vote after Rep. Matt Gaetz filed a Motion to Vacate the Chair.
McCarthy is now the “shortest serving speaker since 1876.”
According to The Guardian:
McCarthy is also the first speaker of the House forced out of the job in U.S. history.
The now ill-fated McCarthy did not leave many hints about his future in his short op-ed in WSJ:
I will continue to recruit our country’s best and brightest to run for elected office. The Republican Party is expanding every day, and I am committed to lending my experience to support the next generation of leaders.
It often seems that the more Washington does, the worse America gets. I started my career as a small-business owner, and I look forward to helping entrepreneurs and risk-takers reach their full potential. The challenges we face are more likely to be solved by innovation than legislation.
Finally, the most reliable solution to what ails America is before our eyes: everyday men and women who are raising families, showing up for work, volunteering, and pursuing the American Dream with passion and purpose. I agree with President Reagan’s observation that ‘all great change in America starts at the dinner table.’ Despite the best attempts by special interest groups and the news media to divide us, I have seen the goodness of the American people. They are what will ultimately uphold the enduring values of our great nation. We all have a role to play in that effort.
Some Republicans are concerned that McCarthy’s premature departure will leave the GOP majority in the House at a dangerously slim level. As former Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Monica Crowley noted on X:
Republicans bounced George Santos.
Kevin McCarthy is leaving this month.
Bill Johnson is retiring.
This will leave the GOP with a ONE-SEAT majority.
Democrats would never do their voters like this.
These people don’t give a sh!t about us or the country. In fact, they revel in sticking it to us and the country.
Disgusting.
