Mark Levin Defends Kevin McCarthy

Influential conservative talk show host Mark Levin gave Kevin McCarthy a boost in his quest to become speaker, roundly mocking members of the Freedom Caucus who have gone on record opposing McCarthy’s campaign for the gavel, Politico reports.

Dubbing them the “five boneheads” and “five saboteurs,” he accused the group of “playing right into the hands of the Democrats.”

Levin got even more personal in lambasting the lawmakers, calling Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) “utterly useless,” Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) a “phony conservative” and Rep. Bob Good (R-VA) a “moron.”
