, R-Ariz., slammed McCarthy, writing,"Kevin is now 0-4. His opposition has grown in just two days. It's time for him to hang up the cleats and let the House move forward without him at the helm. Country > ego."
Rep. Bob Good, R-Va. also blamed McCarthy for bringing about his own downfall in the speaker's race."If McCarthy had fought as hard for the American people over the last two years as he has for the speakership, we would be having a very different discussion right now," he wrote.But not all conservatives agreed that Jordan was necessarily the right person for the top spot in the House.
Fox Radio host Trey Radel responded to a Twitter debate about the battle, writing,"This isn't my fight & not trying to provoke anyone." He continued:"Just curious: who do you … or anyone here, think can coalesce enough Rs to become Speaker? I agree it's not KM. I don't think Jordan can. And I don't know if Scalise can win over enough conservatives or moderates." Jeffrey Clark is an associate editor for Fox News Digital. He has previously served as a speechwriter for a cabinet secretary and a Fulbright teacher in South Korea.
