      Reviewing his track record, I agree - very skeptical he has the fortitude to hold criminals accountable. How is he even going to catch the criminals we know are raiding the Treasury for CARES Act benefits - how you going to catch them Kevin if you're not funding the Treasury Department to even enforce the law? One criminal in particular from the swamp needs serious consideration from his side, and not blowing it off for political ease. Very low expectations.

    He wanted this job too much for me to trust him

      He is so spineless, that he won't be making any of the decisions, he is the puppet of all puppets for the cult.

    He’s not fit to be House Speaker

    I would rather Jim Jordan but I still say God Bless speaker McCarthy, he's still HEAD AND SHOULDERS above crooked Nancy. P.S I love Matt Gaetz and Boebert. I look at McCarthys eyes and I see sadness there. I think he wanted to do more for the country but his hands were tied.
