Ladies and gentlemen, the man most likely to be the next Speaker of the House:
KEVIN MCCARTHY: The question I think you really want to ask me is, how am I going to be different? What are you going to see differently?
SEAN HANNITY: I love how you asked my questions. But go ahead, that was one of my questions, go right ahead.
MCCARTHY: I knew you’d want to ask it. What you’re going to see is a conservative speaker, that takes a conservative Congress, that puts a strategy to fight and win. And let me give you one example. Everybody thought Hillary Clinton was unbeatable, right? But we put together a Benghazi special committee, a select committee. What are her numbers today? Her numbers are dropping. Why? Because she’s un-trustable. But no one would have known any of that had happened, had we not fought and made that happen.
HANNITY: I agree. That’s something good, I give you credit for that, I give you credit for sequestration, I give you credit — I’ll give you credit where credit is due.
And naturally, by touting the Benghazi committee as a tool to bring down Hillary Clinton’s numbers, McCarthy gave Hillary’s campaign just the evidence they needed to insist the whole thing is just a partisan witch hunt.
Heck of a start for McCarthy.
