Well, look I think Nancy Pelosi set the precedent, she did something that never had been done before. And reached into the minority party to decide who could and could not serve in some committees. I think Kevin McCarthy is following her precedence, so the Democrats have nothing to complain about because they started this dance and, frankly, the three people he has picked. So totally deserve being kicked off committees, it’s unbelievable. Schiff, Adam Schiff made a career out of lying to the American people while serving as chairman of the intelligent committee without any question. Just plain flat out lying. Swalwell has had a relationship with a Chinese communist that’s unimaginable for somebody who is going to have security clearance and, of course, Omar is a viciously anti-Israel, antisemitic orator who has consistently violated the norms of civilized behavior. I think those are three let pretty going targets and I commend speaker designate McCarthy for taking them on.
NEWT:
Look, he has got to be patient. He has got to listen to everybody. But, in the end, on January 3rd, what Republican is going to vote for chaos and are they going to vote for a Democrat? They want Hakeem Jeffries to be the speaker of the house? So, McCarthy will be the party’s choice. He has overwhelming support in the conference. And, in the end, people have to face reality. I think it’s perfectly reasonable for them to try to get as many concessions as they can. It’s perfectly reasonable for them had inside the conference to offer alternative. When you get to the floor there is only one realistic choice. I can’t imagine any member who would want to cause chaos and expect to survive the next primary.
NEWT:
Well, I mean, first of all, the biggest thing is that Governor Kemp, who first had to defeat Stacey Abrams and get her out of the way. And did so decisively. The fact he has the best organization in Georgia. He is widely respected by Republicans. The fact that he is now campaigning with Herschel, I think, will convince a number of Republicans who weren’t quite convinced. That was a big part of it. Governor Kemp got far more votes than Herschel. And if he brings his votes back in December. Herschel is going to win by a good margin and then second, as people get to know Herschel better and, as they get to know how radical senator Warnock is and how dishonest he is I think Herschel votes get better and better.
NEWT:
Al Sharpton has used so many people for so many different causes, that having him complain about being used is silly. He is a professional Democrat, a professional demagogue. He has made an entire career, I think, starting with an attack which turned out of to be totally false. So, I don’t worry about much Al Sharpton. If Georgians have to choose between Al Sharpton and Herschel Walker. Herschel will win in a landslide.
NEWT:
His message ought to be I’m the person who going to go to Washington and fight to make sure that you have take-home pay, you have lower cost gasoline. You have less crime, and you have controlled borders. It’s a very straightforward old fashioned thing go. To the local — what people care about in their own lives and talk about what they care about.
