"Kevin McCarthy's Revenge Tour Targets GOP Dissenters"
Originally Published 1 year ago — by Yahoo News
Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and his ally are orchestrating a revenge campaign to recruit primary challengers against the "Gaetz Eight," Republicans who supported Matt Gaetz's push to oust McCarthy. McCarthy's intense appetite for payback, even after his ouster, reflects the ongoing power struggle within the House GOP. The campaign, with McCarthy's blessing, aims to make life miserable for his detractors and is a classic example of old-school political payback.
