National File: Kevin McCarthy received some disparaging words from his former mentor as the California rep. continues to face pressure from House Republicans ahead of the January 3rd house Speaker election.
Former Rep. Bill Thomas (R-Calif.) called his former “protege” a liar whose words cannot be trusted. “The Kevin McCarthy who is now, at this time, in the House isn’t the Kevin McCarthy I worked with,” Thomas said of McCarthy.
Thomas went on to call McCarthy an untrustworthy, dishonest politician. “Kevin basically is whatever you want him to be. He lies. He’ll change the lie if necessary. How can anyone trust his word?” Thomas questioned.
Equating the California rep. to a shady insurance salesman, Thomas added “he’s the guy in the college fraternity that everybody liked and winds up selling life insurance, convincing people they need it.”
The now-retired Rep. Thomas served 28 years in Congress and McCarthy got his start in politics as Rep. Thomas’ aide. Thomas explained how McCarthy sold out Donald Trump after major corporate donors threatened to abandon their donations to congressional Republicans if they voted against certifying the 2020 election. more
Someone is spamming this site with two thread pics in a row of a total rat-bastard asshole.
Do better!
I’m starting to think Trump must have some dirt on McCarthy and thinks he can control him
HIS WORD?
As in”Any Bush Republicans” joining the conservative witch hunt will no longer be REPUBLICAN!”. Given 5/21.
19 moths later 2 “Bush Republicans: , having actively persecuted conservatives, still are REPUBLICANS! That Adam and Liz will be leftist civilians in 2 months does not change the facts!
Kev’s word has the value of another leftist “Compassionate conservative”! There never has been a Bush with honor! Same goes for Bush Republicans!
This is one endorsement where I think Trump will not succeed.
McCarthy has no principles, unless it’s self promotion.
Liars and corrupt politicians seem to aspire to greater positions of Power, McCarthy may very well succeed.
“Political parties is how you get things done.”
Yeah, they sure have done it to us, haven’t they?
How come Nebraska has a unicameral legislature? Lack of parties at the state level seeks to work fine there. Or am I missing something?
There is going to be very painful buyer’s-remorse if this unprincipled weakling is promoted. I expect McCarthy to bitterly disappoint us in his very first month. What he’s done in the past is an indicator or what he’s going to do in the future.
Anybody but McCarthy.
McCarthy’s Mentor Calls Him a Liar, Asks ‘How Can Anyone Trust His Word?’

Trump thinks McCarthy is the cats meow. Google: Google: President Trump Warns GOP House, The Alternative to McCarthy Could be Worse
Remember how many political groups Trump had aligned himself with throughout his years. Guy is like a wild ping-pong ball. He’s very bi as well, he can’t figure out which way to swing, so he embraces gay marriage – fully supports it. An abomination to God that’s fully endorsed by the likes of a liberal. If you support that, then by all means, support the evil.
This looks like Ryan deja vu all over again.
The guy bunks with Frank Luntz for FS.
He is what he is and he is a known commodity.
