#shorts On 1/6/2023, Kevin McCarthy gave a speech after winning the Speakership. He said this GOP would be a check on Biden’s policies. Rep. Kevin McCarthy’s opening speech has sparked uproar after he was finally sworn in as Speaker of the House following four days of a chaos and a near-punch up in Congress. “That was easy, huh?” McCarthy began in his victory speech – shortly after Alabama Representative Mike Rogers had to be held back from attacking Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz. The two Republicans almost came to blows over Gaetz’s refusal to back McCarthy during the 14th vote, costing him that contest, with the violent clash coming as tempers frayed over the mammoth voting-process.

After his victory in the 15th and final vote, McCarthy lauded: “I hope one thing is clear after this week: I will never give up. I will never give up for you, the American people. And I will never give up on keeping our Commitment to America.” “Hakeem – I need to warn you: I also won 100 percent of my conference vote on this floor two years ago. So, good luck!” McCarthy jokingly said.
