Kevin McCarthy\u2019s (R-CA) bid to be House speaker.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow, some are saying and I think Kevin McCarthy\u2019s folks are saying that they already gave you guys a number of key concessions,\u201d Ingraham claimed. \u201cFrankly, if I were he, I might not have given them, if I were, you know, trying to become speaker.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo what is your endgame at this point, given the three votes and yet you all don\u2019t have one candidate who can get to 218?\u201d She asked. \u201cAt least not yet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Roy responded by pointing out his issues with McCarthy and in part blaming McCarthy for the U.S.\u2019s massive national debt.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou still have to get 218. So again, I\u2019m going to ask you, what is your endgame here?\u201d She asked. \u201cBecause it looks like we could be going to something, in my view, a lot worse than someone who is \u2014 who passes an ideological purity test, understanding all your points here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Roy replied that their opposition wasn&#8217;t an issue \u201cideological purity test\u201d McCarthy&#8217;s concessions were not enough.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut my question to you again. You have to get from point A to point B. I understand frustration with the establishment. Long before you were on Capitol Hill, I\u2019ve been fighting the establishment. So I get that,\u201d Ingraham claimed. \u201cBut you still have to be able to get to point B. So my question is a very specific one. Would you rather have Hakeem Jeffries in a position of authority in the House, rather than have McCarthy as speaker with the concessions that, you did get a number of concessions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWould you rather have a coalition where you could be in the minority, opposing the Democrats, yes or no?\u201d She asked.<\/p>\n<p>Roy replied that she was asking a question. \u201cfalse choice\u201d Because Jeffries is not a Republican.<\/p>\n<p>WATCH:<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Chip Roy: McCarthy has just set himself on fire <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/FmKlZ1ODtG\">pic.twitter.com\/FmKlZ1ODtG<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Laura Ingraham (@IngrahamAngle) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/IngrahamAngle\/status\/1610724107578150912?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 4, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/rep-chip-roy-if-gop-leaders-hand-dems-blank-check-in-1-7-trillion-spending-bill-mcconnell-gop-will-own-border-crisis\">Rep Chip Roy: If GOP Leaders Hand Dems \u2018Blank Check\u2019 In $1.7 Trillion Spending Bill, McConnell And GOP Will Own Border Crisis<\/p>\n<p><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fox News host Laura Ingraham pressed Rep.
