Kevin McCarthy promises to block these lawmakers from serving on committeesHouse Republicans recently voted 188-31 by secret ballot to nominate McCarthy for House speaker. McCarthy should lead without prejudice. If he cannot then he should not lead at all because he will be a bad example for all to see especially Americas youth. Hey u so called Christians 'vengeance is mine saith the LORD THY GOD' I guess the maga party missed Bible study that day! So, he has no ideas on policy. He is just interested in being a chaos demon. He will not be able to lead us through difficult times. Great. I feel like we have been down this road before.
