Fox News keeps attacking House Republicans voting against Kevin McCarthy for speaker
“They all look like idiots, and that's how they are acting”
Published
After another day of House Republicans failing to elect a speaker, Fox News personalities — with the exception of network darling Tucker Carlson — continued launching attacks against Republican House members opposing Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) in his bid for the speakership.
Despite facing backlash from other right-wing media figures and outlets over the network’s general support for McCarthy, particularly after a shouting match between Fox host Sean Hannity and Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) over the GOP’s internal stalemate, Fox News personalities maintained support for McCarthy and condemned the holdouts, who Fox & Friends co-host Brian Kilmeade called “insurrectionists.”
