Republican Virginia Rep. Bob Good ripped into House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy at a closed-door House Republican Conference meeting, two sources in the room told the Daily Caller.
The GOP “got rolled” during the 2022 midterms, Good told McCarthy, according to the two sources. Good, who was elected to his second term on Tuesday, also accused McCarthy of not calling him in 2020 after he successfully primaried sitting Republican Rep. Denver Riggleman. A member of the Freedom Caucus, Good has already said that he is unlikely to support a McCarthy speakership.
“Kevin McCarthy has not done anything to earn my vote for speaker,” Good said Wednesday.

Good also blamed the Congressional Leadership Fund for “spending money on candidates against the will of the people,” one source told the Caller. The Congressional Leadership Fund (CLF), which is aligned with McCarthy, raised more than $244 million and spent more than $186 million during the midterms, according to Federal Election Commission filings.
