I may have misjudged Kevin McCarthy, for I had very low expectations for his tenure as Speaker of the House. So far, he is doing a bang-up job, and is keeping his word to the Freedom Caucus members that held up his vote to take the gavel. There is plenty of time to be disappointed in the 23 months ahead of this Congress but give the man credit for a job well done. So far. (snip) McCarthy tossed Adam Schiff and Eric Swalwell from the ultra-sensitive House Intelligence Committee, sending them whining

So far, so good, Kev. You must keep it up now. Never let up. Not for a millisecond.

I, too, am happily surprised. There was no mincing of words, either. And since he has asserted how integrity matters, let's hope that this laser-beam of rectitude is aimed at the Dem leadership which will keep doing everything it can to take Leader McCarthy down, and betray this country.
Meanwhile, he needs to do some thinking on two-faced politicians such as Lindsay Graham among the Repubs and the Dems.

Don't get too excited there Tom. It's early days yet and these were a given no matter who was installed as speaker.
When the SHTF we will see what ol Kev is REALLY made of. Voted for all kinds of leftist garbage and wore and waved the Ukrainian flag in the well of the Congress so I'd curb my enthusiasm if I were you.
He's Mitch Jr in my opinion. Prepare to bend over, smile and ask for another but harder

I was very pleasantly surprised at how he. handled that snarky reporter. Maybe not so much of a RINO, hope he continues as Rush said not to accept the premise of the left when dealing with the press.

Saw the video of this and gave a spontaneous "bravo". A cogent argument off-the-cuff, direct and backed up with concrete incidents. British Parliament question time level public speaking. It was heartening. And how refreshing to hear a Speaker of the House not fumbling dentures and words as inane talking points and personal insults are vaguely dispensed.

Optimistic but a lot more to be done- need real hearings, a review of the waste and risks of supporting Ukraine and take on the DC jail gulag .
Hope he is not just another Lindsey Graham.

Wonderful, McCarthy is trying to shed a RINO persona and morph into an honest-to-god Republican conservative. The age of miracles aint over yet.

Where has this Kevin McCarthy been? He gave an excellent answer and absolutely shut down the partisan hack trying to make the point that he was pulling Schiff and Swalwell off the Intel Committee for spite. If the Speaker continues as he is doing today, he just may become one of the most relevant Speakers we have had in decades. Please, Mr. Speaker do not disappoint us. We need a warrior who will not let the media push him around. Keep fighting the good fight!

what many misjudged is how someone will transition from being in the minority to controlling the majority. where you may have had to make tough compromises before you now have another option: forging a winnng majority. McCarthy is more conservative than many thought - and he has strong backing from Freedom Caucus. we will see if he is a master of tactics. pelosi ruled with similar numbers.

Bravo is right! That was an excellent response to a typical progressive snowflake hack masquerading as a reporter.

Kevin McCarthy's response was not only true, it was impressive and heartening. One hopes that the RINOs in Washington have seen how much President Trump was appreciated and supported for his willingness to fight back against the Swamp. Perhaps at least some of them are finally willing to take up the gauntlet when the Left throws it down, rather than running away with their tails between their legs.

Interesting how these same reporters had no problem with Pigface Pelosi was doing the exact same thing.....is it possible these reporters are NOT objective ?

This is the McCarthy that we hoped we would get. All three of the communists looked like they were going to cry.

McCarthy did the right thing and to hell with the whiners. And Swalwell needs to shave. He looks like he’s been up all night crying.

I was very unhappy when McCarthy became Speaker. But, I too am delightedly surprised at his performance to date, especially with Swalwell, Schiff and Omar issue. Starting out strong with a very political issue (political because a Republican doing the same thing as Pelosi is not allowed in our country) is a very positive sign for his tenure. I'm hoping Trump's steadfast support of McCarthy was because he saw this strength in Kevin.
Keep up the good work Kev and we will have your back if you keep having ours. MAGA!
