Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich is not holding back his criticism of Republicans who oppose House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy’s (R-Calif.) bid for speaker.
Gingrich noted Republicans picked up House seats in 2020 and 2022 during a “Fox & Friends” appearance on Monday.
“I thought at least the House was going to be a sign of stability,” he continued.
However, he blasted the five so-called “Never Kevin” Republicans who are opposing McCarthy’s bid for speaker:
“And these five guys decide to go out as kamikazes and see if they can’t sink the whole Republican Party. That’s what they’re doing. This is not about Kevin McCarthy. This is about the right of any five members to basically throw away the entire rest of the conference and tell the rest of the conference it doesn’t matter.”

When asked why these Republicans would take such an action, Gingrich said, “I think it’s a psychological problem. These guys can’t count straight. They can’t play tic-tac-toe. They can’t accept victory.”
“Given what McConnell’s been doing in the Senate, McCarthy is the only hope for conservatism in Washington right now. And to undermine him, I think, is to undermine conservatism, undermine the Republican Party, and frankly, undermine the country,” he added.
