“It was a glorious thing to watch, and I have never been prouder of our country,” said Dan Bongino.

Late last night Californian Republican Representative Kevin McCarthy was selected to be the next Speaker of the House for for the 118th Congress.

It however took 15 separate voting sessions that took the entire week to get him elected, the longest ever since the Civil War, which Fox News pundit Sean Hannity referred to as a political “clown show.”

A number of Republicans refused to have McCarthy as their next Speaker, preventing him from getting the necessary 218 majority votes needed.

One of those who habitually voted against or conceded to a ‘no vote’ was Florida Representative Matthew Gaetz. During the 14th session McCarthy confronted with Gaetz and tried to make some kind of reconciliation. After Gaetz refused to budge, Mike Rogers of Alabama then lunged at Gaetz, but was ultimately restrained by Richard Hudson of North Carolina.
