Kevin McCarthy hints revenge against House Republican who helped oust him

Raw Story  

Rep. Kevin McCarthy in an interview with Politico released Friday hinted at the possibility of enacting vengeance on a GOP tormenter who helped end his tenure as House speaker. McCarthy replied with sarcasm when Politico asked about news that Virginia state Sen. John McGuire, a former Navy SEAL, might run against Rep. Bob Good, one of eight Republicans who voted in approval of his ouster. When Politico asked if McCarthy might return the ousting favor and involve himself in the race, the former speaker said he didn't know what he'd do with his newfound freedom. McCarthy's ouster as speaker led to three weeks of chaos in the Republican conference, which tried to get through Reps. Steve Scalise, Jim Jordan, and Tom Emmer as speaker before finally settling on current House Speaker Mike Johnson.
