McCarthy certainly is a RINO and an arrogant one at that. He's presuming that he'll be the next Speaker. He needs to be challenged!

Freedom Caucus Rep. Andy Biggs says 'not so fast' to McCarthy speakership after disappointing election results

Rep. Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., on Wednesday signaled that House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy may hit a few speed bumps on his quest to become the next House speaker, arguing the Republican conference needs to have "a serious discussion" about leadership after Tuesday's disappointing election results. 

Republicans underperformed expectations in the midterm elections, and if they take a majority after all the votes are counted, it will be a slim one. Biggs, a member of the House Freedom Caucus, told conservative streaming program "The Absolute Truth with Emerald Robinson" that Republicans should reevaluate whether McCarthy is the best person to be House speaker, saying his leadership should not be "a foregone conclusion." 

"I would say maybe not so fast. Maybe we should have a good discussion within the confines of our internal body," Biggs said. "Look, we were told we were going to have an incredible, incredible wave. And if that would've been the case, any 20, 30, 40-seat margin, anywhere in there you would say, okay, Kevin is the presumptive Republican nominee for speaker.

"But I think we need to have a serious discussion," Biggs continued. "He's back peddled on things like impeachment and, in some ways, that indicates a willingness to be weakening the oversight authority that we need to have and the leverage points we need to have in order to deal with a Democrat president." ..............

Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
