Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy drew some heat over the weekend
00:00:26.580
after attacking his own party for being too white while speaking to the Oxford Union.
00:00:32.520
McCarthy claimed that Democrats actually look like America
00:00:35.460
while Republicans look like the most restrictive country club.
00:00:39.600
This, mind you, while he's standing in a tuxedo
00:00:46.040
It would seem that self-awareness is a liability
00:00:51.960
Republicans often make superficial complaints about identity politics,
00:00:56.580
but McCarthy's remarks revealed that the leftist hierarchy of victimization
00:01:00.800
has embedded itself deep in the minds of mainstream conservative politicians.
00:01:06.140
Diversity, inclusion, and equity have become the ideological enforcement arm
00:01:12.700
and that poisonous belief system has now worked its way
00:01:15.500
into the political party that is supposed to oppose it.
00:01:19.260
McCarthy's remarks at Oxford were not some embarrassing accident,
00:01:23.120
At an event sponsored by the New York Times a few weeks earlier,
00:01:27.340
the former speaker used the same line about country club Republicans,
00:01:34.380
McCarthy told the audience that he believed the demographic makeup of the GOP
00:01:39.960
in which he needed to involve himself personally.
00:01:45.280
that he wanted to see more women and minorities taking House seats,
00:01:48.960
but that the Republican primary voters kept stubbornly selecting white males.
00:01:54.780
McCarthy wanted to make it clear to New York Times readers
00:01:57.700
that he actively sought to influence GOP primaries
00:02:01.520
with the explicit intention of selecting candidates due to their race or gender.
00:02:12.840
McCarthy was the House Minority Leader from 2019
00:02:15.740
until his election as speaker earlier this year.
00:02:20.120
He held the key leadership position in the party.
00:02:23.840
When Representative Matt Gaetz of Florida attempted to remove McCarthy,
00:02:29.160
serious-minded people who wanted to get things done.
00:02:35.020
for failing to keep his political promises on issues like the budget
00:02:38.620
was characterized as a childish personal vendetta
00:02:46.400
has proven himself to be a disappointment in other ways,
00:02:49.040
rushing to see how much American taxpayer money
00:02:51.160
he can spend to defend the borders of foreign nations,
00:02:56.340
The Republican Party didn't just have one bad leader with Kevin McCarthy.
00:03:07.240
Movies and TV shows have trended towards the anti-hero,
00:03:11.480
and just becomes worse and worse as the story goes on.
00:03:15.740
The Blind, the true story of the Robertson family
00:03:25.100
If you or someone you know feels beyond redemption,
00:03:34.060
giving you an intimate look into the man behind the legend
00:03:40.740
While The Blind wasn't a Blaze Media production,
00:03:42.780
since Phil is such a big part of our Blaze TV family,
00:03:45.520
we wanted to make sure that you had the opportunity
00:03:49.460
we can't include it as part of the subscription.
00:03:51.680
But if you'd rather purchase it and stream it here
00:03:55.740
we wanted to make sure that you had the opportunity to do that.
00:04:12.400
It would be easy to write off the former speaker
00:04:26.000
who found it easier to get elected in their district
00:04:28.300
if they put an R next to their name on the ballot.
00:04:31.440
Most of what passes as conservative politicians
00:04:38.720
and can't wait to swap you out for a voter base
00:04:48.060
quite like the presidential campaign of Nikki Haley.
00:04:51.720
Remember, Haley first rose to political prominence
00:05:04.680
It was embarrassing enough when Haley embraced Disney
00:05:12.500
or demanded that big tech end internet anonymity.
00:05:16.060
But her adoption of the left's rhetoric on race and gender
00:05:26.720
Haley quickly responded by calling the commentator a sexist
00:05:34.160
past my prime merchandise to her campaign website
00:05:42.700
Coincidentally, the former governor of South Carolina
00:05:48.060
and quickly becoming every corporate donor's favorite Republican.
00:06:02.160
have been fomenting anti-Jewish sentiment on campus
00:06:05.320
in the wake of the October 7th attack against Israel.
00:06:17.300
But one has to wonder where these calls have been

00:08:12.560
the poisonous racial and sexual grievance hierarchy
