After making huge concessions to his and the ruling class’ power over Congress, Kevin McCarthy has been elected Speaker.
But the Republican establishment was apparently working on a secret deal that could have ruined it all.
And this RINO Congressman exposed the sinister plot establishment elites hatched up to stab voters in the back.
It took more than four days and 15 roll call votes for establishment California Rep. Kevin McCarthy to finally secure the votes he needed to become the next Speaker of the House early Saturday morning.
Roughly 20 House conservatives overall withheld their support from Rep. McCarthy throughout the process in an effort to force him and his establishment lackeys to agree to concessions that would limit the ruling class’ power, while increasing the anti-establishment populist wing of the Party’s influence on key committees, the rules process, and within a new “Church” style Committee that will conduct the first major investigation into the intelligence community in decades.
Ultimately, all the holdouts were fighting for was to ensure that moving forward the House would operate with more of an emphasis on the will of the people, rather than the will of the ruling class.
That, of course, did not sit well with establishment Republicans who are not used to having to actually work for the power they’ve given themselves.
In fact, establishment stooge Rep. Mike Rogers (R-AL) attempted to charge and physically attack one of the key Republican holdouts, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), on the House floor during the votes simply because the conservative Congressman refused to simply bow down to the ruling class’ will.
Rep. Rogers’ attempted assault marked the first physical altercation on the House floor in nearly four decades.
So if members who refused to Coronate Kevin McCarthy are “terrorists”, what do you call McCarthy and Mike Rogers going after @MattGaetz and trying to intimidate him for voting present?

Needless to say, the RINO establishment were more than willing to go to any lengths to inflict their will on Congress, and the American people.
And that was proven just hours before Rep. McCarthy inevitably folded to secure the votes when another establishment stooge, Congressman Don Bacon (R-NE), hopped on CNN to expose the nuclear option betrayal the GOP establishment was working on behind the scenes.
According to Rep. Bacon, he and other establishment stooges had been working behind closed doors — as always — with Democrats on a deal that would literally blow up the GOP House majority in order to install a “consensus Speaker” the Republican and Democrat establishments could agree on to unify the ruling class against the American people.
“There are preliminary talks, but we don’t want to go too fast on this because that then hijacks what Kevin is trying to do and we want to support Kevin,” Bacon admitted.
The Nebraska Congressman went on to threaten the conservative holdouts, claiming that unless they give in to the Republican establishment, RINOs would “look somewhere else” — aka do Democrats’ bidding.
And just to drive the point home that he and the rest of the establishment elites believe they are somehow all-powerful, superior beings who know better than working class Americans how to run their lives for them, Rep. Bacon claimed destroying the Republican majority that was the will of American voters was simply “being an American.”
“This is about leading the greatest country in the world and we cannot let a small handful of folks that are on the extreme part of our conference, one of the smallest caucuses that we have, we can’t let them control the entire House of Representatives,” Bacon ranted.
Furthermore, Rep. Bacon went on to claim that conservatives fighting to ensure it’s the will of the people rather than the will of the ruling class running Washington, D.C. we’re somehow harming the Republican Party’s image — as if the “image” the GOP establishment has crafted is in any way positive.
“I listened to the news last night. I was sick to my stomach,” Bacon suggested. “This small group is putting mud all over the Republican Party at this point.”
At the end of the day, though, all of Bacon’s rantings were for naught, as Rep. McCarthy inevitably caved to the conservative holdouts, ensuring the will of the people is alive and well in Congress.
And Rep. Bacon’s efforts really only served to once again expose the fact that the real battle for the heart and soul of America is not between Republican and Democrat voters, but rather between the ruling class and the American people.
It’s rare for the working class to score a win, especially in Congress, and there’s no doubt that the establishment is going to come for revenge.
But with the restrictions on the ruling class’ power the conservative holdouts forced Kevin McCarthy to accept, that revenge is going to be much more difficult to exact.
