Kevin McCarthy Pledges His Undying Loyalty To Marjorie Taylor Greene - Ring of Fire

[TexasTowelie]

A close friend of House Speaker Kevin McCarthy told The New York Times that McCarthy has pledged his loyalty to Marjorie Taylor Greene for siding with him in the recent speaker fight, going as far as to say that he'll "never leave that woman." Greene has now been mainstreamed by the Republican Party, and they continue to make excuses for her extremist behavior in an attempt to normalize her. This is about as dangerous as possible, as Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains.

The New York Times recently did a very lengthy profile on new Republican Speaker of the House, Kevin McCarthy. And during their profile they spoke to several friends of McCarthy and one of them admitted that Kevin McCarthy has now basically pledged his undying love and devotion to Marjorie Taylor Green. Here is what that friend told the New York Times that Kevin McCarthy has said, I will never leave that woman. I will always take care of her. Just because she was on your side in the speaker debacle, you are now saying, I will never leave that woman. I will always take care of her. And those are the kinds of things you would say about your spouse, not about this individual who's only entering her third year in Congress, but here we are. Marjorie Taylor Green is officially being mainstreamed by the top Republican in the House of Representatives. And here's the thing, after the friend made this comment, Kevin McCarthy went on record and he himself said this, if you're going to be in a fight, you want Marjorie in your foxhole, which she picks a fight, she's going to fight until the fight's over.

She reminds me of my friends from high school that, that we're going to stick together all the way through. I love how Kevin McCarthy's not like she reminds me of me because when I believe in something I'll fight forever. He's like, no, but I know people who will totally fight for what they believe. I won't do it. You know, I'm a bit of a coward, but I know people who, who will fight. And that's why I have to have Marjorie Taylor Green. See Green has this new rule. Not only is she being mainstreamed, of course, by the top Republican, but she's his attack dog. You know, he gives the dog the treats. You get whatever you want. But when it's time for a fight, McCarthy's not gonna be the one to go in there and get his hands a little dirty. No, he's a coward.

He'll back down. We saw that in the speaker fight by the way. He gave up the farm just so he could get the title while giving away all of the power. So what he'll do in the future now is when he needs to get Republicans together. He's not gonna be the one to go out there and whip up the votes. He's gonna send Marjorie out there. She's the one that's gonna go out there and fight those fights. That Kevin McCarthy is too cowardly to fight. He gets to keep his hands clean while she goes out there and continues to make enemies within the Republican party. People that used to be your friends, people like Matt Gates, people like Jim Jordan. To be honest, it's actually a very smart tactic for Kevin McCarthy to do that. He still gets to be the good guy. He gets to be on everybody's side. He doesn't have to go out there and make enemies. Marjorie's doing that. And he doesn't care about the repercussions that she's gonna suffer from it.

He doesn't care that she's gonna lose all of her friends and risk being ostracized within her own political party. No, that doesn't matter to him. And to be honest, I don't have sympathy for Marjorie Taylor Green. If that is what happens to her, she 100% deserves it. But these next two years are going to be nasty. And based on this interview with McCarthy saying he is gonna stick by her and then admitting why he is sticking by her cuz she's the fighter, she's going to be nasty. We are going to see more public fights, we are going to hear about more private fights. We're gonna have more Marjorie Taylor Green than any of us are even able to stomach.
