After another day of House Republicans failing to elect a speaker, Fox News personalities — with the exception of network darling Tucker Carlson — continued launching attacks against Republican House members opposing Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) in his bid for the speakership.
Despite facing backlash from other right-wing media figures and outlets over the network’s general support for McCarthy, particularly after a shouting match between Fox host Sean Hannity and Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) over the GOP’s internal stalemate, Fox News personalities maintained support for McCarthy and condemned the holdouts, who Fox & Friends co-host Brian Kilmeade called “insurrectionists.”
