The following day, Rep. Bob Good had told Fox & Friends that McCarthy’s campaign was doomed, according to the tape that followed. Good allegedly had resentment toward McCarthy, according to Kilmeade, because the latter did not support him in the 2022 Republican primary.
If accepting this position will serve your ego and personal goal, do not do it. Service to the nation should be the overarching goal, with your party serving as a subset. Describe to me how this benefits your party and why. In front of the country, you two are appearing foolish.
