House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) appeared to sound the alarm on his bid to become speaker of the House and the GOP’s ability to pass its agenda in the next Congress while on Hugh Hewitt’s radio show Friday. Hewitt began the interview saying, “It’s great to talk to you. I was just berating the Knucklehead Caucus, and I know you’re a gentleman. You won’t single out people, but these five Republicans are screwing up the transition.”
