Republicans Float New Conspiracy Theory Amid McCarthy Retirement

Amid Representative Kevin McCarthy's retirement announcement, Republicans are floating a new conspiracy theory on Wednesday involving Representative Matt Rosendale.

-snip-

In response to McCarthy's retirement, the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC), a national organization dedicated to taking back the Republican Senate Majority, released a statement seen on X, formerly Twitter, taking aim at Rosendale, a Montana Republican, alleging him of being a "plant from the Democrats."

"A lot of people are starting to wonder if Matt Rosendale is a plant from the Democrats. He is benefiting from millions of dollars in television ads from a Chuck Shumer-aligned super PAC and has been a great ally to Hakeem Jefferies and Nancy Pelosi in their efforts to take back the House," NRSC communications director, Mike Berg said in a statement.




-snip-

Responding to the NRSC's statement, Rosendale said in a statement to Newsweek via text, "Mitch McConnell and the D.C. Cartel have sold the American people out for decades. Montanans sent me to Congress to restore regular order and return power to the people. Clearly, Mitch McConnell and the NRSC are terrified of having a true conservative who would upend business as usual in the United States Senate.

Yeah!

None of the accusations are true but, shit, if it knocks him out of the race, spectacular!


He is an asshole of the first order and is one of the ringleaders of the freedumb caucus and is one of the slimiest of the slimy. Nobody knows that because nobody pays attention to Montana. He is one who should be tried with the insurrectionists, he's as involved as the current Speaker is.

And others, but after removing these Reps they won't have the power in the House to remove anybody.
