Trey Gowdy: Nobody In Their Right Mind Would Want To Be Speaker

The “Benghazi” congressman turned Fox News host is mad as hell about the dysfunction in the House of Representatives and he’s pointing fingers at the MAGA Freedom Caucus.

Gowdy was asked by Fox host Rich Edson if Republicans got the best deal they could have in the House budget that was soon to pass in the Senate.

“Oh, I don’t know,” Gowdy said. Then he immediately launched verbal missiles at some members of his own party. "Speaker McCarthy, I think, got a better deal. But remember, they got rid of him,” he groused.

That was only the beginning. He noted that Republicans underperformed in the 2022 midterms and the 2021 runoff election in which two Republican senators were defeated in Georgia. “So, if you're wondering why you're trying to negotiate against Chuck Schumer and Joe Biden, it's because Republicans can't pick the right candidate and they can't win elections,” Gowdy said. Now, the House margin is so thin, Republicans are on the verge of losing the majority altogether, he pointed out.

“You want to see a bad budget bill? Let the Democrats control the House, the Senate and the White House,” Gowdy roared.

“They got nobody to blame but themselves for picking the wrong candidates, running bad races and losing winnable elections,” he added.
