House Freedom Caucus Member Bob Good Says Kevin McCarthy Has Failed His ‘Audition’ to Become Speaker

House Freedom Caucus Member Bob Good (R-VA) appeared last night on Fox News’ Laura Ingraham show and took aim at House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA).

Good told Ingraham that McCarthy has failed his “audition” to become Speaker and that he will face a challenge, assuming that Republicans take back the House.

Ingraham asked, “Should Kevin McCarthy be concerned tonight? Is there rumblings afoot in the Freedom Caucus that you need to go in another direction?”

Good responded, “He absolutely should be concerned. His only priority the last two years has seemed to be able to get the majority and become Speaker just for the sake of having the majority and becoming Speaker.”

“He’s essentially had a two-year audition where he had the exclusive opportunity to earn the vote of the conference to demonstrate that he was willing to fight against the Biden/Pelosi/Schumer agenda and he failed to do that,” Good insisted.

Good also explained that Republican voters across the country have been telling him and other members of Congress that McCarthy has failed to fight for them.

“Over and over, he’s failed to respond to our efforts to fight as a minority when there’s no real pressure like there is in the majority,” McCarthy pointed out.

Ingraham ultimately wondered, “Is there anyone else whose name is floating out there who would want to be Speaker?”

Good vowed that there “absolutely would be” a challenge to McCarthy’s leadership efforts and that there would be a number of representatives who would be interested in the position.

Ingraham closed by telling Good that she would invite McCarthy on her show to respond to his criticisms so it will be interesting to see if he accepts that invitation.
