Rep. Nancy Mace has been dropping bombshell after bombshell about Kevin McCarthy’s sinister actions during the speaker fight last week.
In a dramatic session last Friday, Mace revealed her experiences with McCarthy. She painted a picture of McCarthy as a sinister, power-hungry politician who was willing to do anything to become the next Speaker of the House.
“I was told about an incident where every time someone got up to go to the bathroom, he’d knife them in the back and lie about who else had gone away,” Mace said in a video posted on her Facebook page. “That’s why we had to move quickly to prevent him from becoming the leader of our party.”
Furthermore, Mace claims that McCarthy has a history of pushy tactics when it comes to getting his way. She describes McCarthy as someone who “does not respond to basic decency or American fundamentality.”
Mace also believes that McCarthy’s actions undermine the core values of the Republican Party. She emphasizes that the GOP is a party of “enforcement of law, ethics and morality” and that McCarthy does not measure up in that regard.
Mace also claims that McCarthy has a habit of using fear and intimidation to get his way. During the speaker fight, Mace says that McCarthy sent out threatening text messages that said, “If you don’t vote for me, I’ll recall your vote.”
Mace’s revelations about McCarthy show how reckless and desperate he was to become the speaker. It’s quite telling that McCarthy felt the need to resort to such underhanded tactics and behavior in order to get his way.
Throughout the speaker fight, Mace has emerged as one of McCarthy’s toughest critics. Her words have been unflinching and her accusations serious. Her observations also offer a stark reminder of what McCarthy is capable of when he feels threatened.
The Republican Party, and the American people, would do well to remember Mace’s words in the months and years to come. McCarthy’s past actions should not be tolerated and his presence in the House should not be taken lightly.
Mace’s words are a much needed reminder for the GOP: do not trust McCarthy’s judgement or leadership. No matter how much he might try to convince people otherwise, Mace’s experience and the facts speak for themselves. The Republican Party needs to think twice before allowing McCarthy to take the reins.
