Amid the ongoing Republican battle for Speaker of the House, the Establishment media smelled blood in the water and immediately jumped to push a story about one of the conservative holdouts refusing to support Kevin McCarthy’s bid for speaker.
But once again, it was all just fake news.
On Thursday, several media outlets began claiming that North Carolina Rep. Dan Bishop said he would resign if McCarthy became Speaker of the House.
Roll Call quoted Bishop as saying, “We’re going to either see improvement up here the same way we made remarkable improvements in North Carolina in the state legislature, or I’m out.”
Roll Call added, “He said he’s willing to make that threat because he’s ‘older than the average bear’ and ‘not going to stay up here for decades.'”
From there, outlet after outlet highlighted Bishop’s quote and extrapolated it to mean that he had “threatened to resign” if McCarthy is elected to the speaker’s chair.
