Incoming Republican Rep. Michael Lawler of New York slammed Republicans holding out against Republican Rep. Kevin McCarthy’s bid for speaker of the House Wednesday.
“They have put their own selfish agenda ahead of the conference. The Conference voted overwhelmingly in November, 85%, to support Kevin McCarthy for Speaker. Our rules dictate that Kevin McCarthy is the candidate to support,” Lawler, who defeated Democratic Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney in the Nov. 8 midterms, told Fox News hosts John Roberts and Sandra Smith.
“They have put themselves above everything else and they are costing conservatives across this country dearly,” Lawler continued.
