President Trump has spoken!
America’s SICK and TIRED of having Speakers of the House with no balls! … Not literally, we could care less the gender of our politicians, hell I would take a Purple Penguin if they actually defended the Constitution.
Here is why Trump is backing … what say you?
The Gateway Pundit reported:
The Donald has spoken — and surprisingly, some might say, he’s sticking with the establishment this time.
In an interview with Breitbart News published Friday, former President Donald Trump backed House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy of California for speaker of the House, saying he deserved “a shot,” and anti-establishment Republicans trying to take him down were playing “a very dangerous game.”
“Kevin has worked very hard,” Trump told Breitbart. “He is just — it’s been exhausting. If you think, he’s been all over. I think he deserves the shot. Hopefully he’s going to be very strong and going to be very good and he’s going to do what everybody wants.”
Several anti-establishment Republicans have voiced their opposition to McCarthy taking the speaker’s gavel, creating a potential stumbling block when the lower chamber votes on who will lead it come next January.
While Republicans took back control of the House, it was by a slimmer margin than some had predicted. And, while McCarthy was nominated as speaker in an internal GOP vote in November, according to CBS News, it was by a secret-ballot vote of 188 to 31. McCarthy needs 218 votes to be elected speaker.
While several GOP names have voiced their opposition to McCarthy becoming speaker — most notably Reps. Matt Gaetz of Florida, Bob Good of Virginia and Matt Rosendale of Montana — only one Republican has mounted an official challenge for the gavel: Rep. Andy Biggs of Arizona.
I’m running for Speaker to break the establishment.

“It is time for new leadership of the U.S. House of Representatives,” Biggs wrote in a Daily Caller piece announcing his candidacy earlier this month.
“The Left wants to see a McCarthy Speakership, as outgoing Majority Whip Clyburn said. Establishment Republicans want to see a continuation of the Swamp, as Paul Ryan has endorsed McCarthy for speaker. And, even phony conservative types, claim that McCarthy is the only guy for them (see radio talker Mark Levin for example, who after blasting McCarthy for years has decided that he is perfect for the job),” he wrote. “And people wonder why the establishment is the establishment.
“We actually have the opportunity to dislodge the establishment and reinvigorate the America First movement that was founded by former President Donald Trump. Yes, that Donald Trump.”
Unfortunately, that Donald Trump isn’t about to bite on that offer, saying McCarthy was his guy and intra-party opposition should back down. READ MORE AT THE GATEWAY PUNDIT HERE
