You know who really wants Kevin McCarthy to be the next speaker? None other than Bitch McConnell, which should tell you all you need to know about California RINO McCarthy. Anyone supported by McConnell needs to be shunned.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said Tuesday “of course” he wants House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy to become speaker, even as he acknowledged uncertainty for the California Republican in the upcoming vote.
“I have no idea. I don’t know any more than I read from what you guys write. I’m just pulling for him,” McConnell said in an interview Tuesday.
The Senate Republican leader previously voiced support for McCarthy in late December, even as the House Republican criticized how Senate GOP lawmakers handled year-end government spending negotiations.
“I’m pulling for Kevin. I hope he makes it,” McConnell said at the time.

Other counsel for McCarthy came from Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.), a crucial vote for Democrats over the last two years in an evenly split Senate, who urged McCarthy not to cave to all the demands of the conservatives.
“It just looks like a hostage standoff over there,” he said in an interview Tuesday. “I just hope he doesn’t surrender to the hostage takers. Don’t pay a ransom.”
