MORE ON THE DEBT CEILING DEBACLE
Conservatives have long been suspicious of U.S. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA). He is rightly viewed as a deal maker with little backbone who often sacrifices principles for expediency. This is why it took fifteen ballots for him to finally get elected as House Speaker. He was able to secure the position due to support from conservative stalwarts such as U.S. Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and President Donald Trump.
Unfortunately, his tenure as House Speaker has been about as disappointing as many conservatives feared. He has not kept the promises he made to the members of the Freedom Caucus to garner their support.
