David Giglio, host of “America First Live” and Vice President of the Republican National Hispanic Assembly (RNHA) of Madera County, California, blasted Kevin McCarthy (D-CA) as the establishment-backed choice for the next U.S. Speaker of the House in a statement on Saturday and criticized the lackluster performance of the GOP in the recent elections.
“I don’t care who endorses him, Kevin McCarthy is controlled opposition and has no business being Speaker of the House,” Giglio said. “You thought Paul Ryan was bad, Kevin will be worse. A McCarthy Speakership would be disastrous for the GOP’s long term future.”

Peter Duke, professional photographer and publisher of The Duke Report, spoke with The National File on Tuesday about the statement made by Giglio.
“Controlled opposition is somebody who presents themselves as one side of politics and they’re actually on the other side, usually to obtain information and control,” Duke explained. “Calling someone controlled opposition in current congress is like yelling ‘Fire!’ when you’re standing in a forest fire. They’re all owned. The thing is, Kevin McCarthy cannot get elected to that job [as Speaker of the House] unless a bunch of other people are paid off too. Its basically like an organized graft system.”
In a response to social and political commentator, Rick Myles, Giglio also pointed out the fact that McCarthy is on the Foreign Affairs Committee for the World Economic Forum (WEF), the powerful nongovernmental organization (NGO) founded by German economist Klaus Schwab.
“The speaker election is a no win situation. Either it’s Uni-party McCarthy or it will be someone installed by an unholy alliance of the Democrats and 6-10 RINOs. Possibly Paul Ryan or some other similar WEF associated character,” Myles asserted.
“Kevin McCarthy is part of the WEF lol. There’s other options. [It] just takes courage,” Giglio replied.

On Tuesday, Giglio followed up his statement about the House Minority Leader with another one that included Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.
“The GOP just surrendered their biggest bargaining chip, the power of the purse, for the next 10 months,” Giglio said. “They even voted to bar CBP funds from being used to improve Border Security.”
“GOP Leader and Leader McConnell are failures,” Gilgio added.

The political analyst also called out McCarthy for his failure to denounce the kangaroo-court-esque January 6 committee.
“How come [McCarthy] has nothing to say about the sham [J6 Committee] recommending a slew of BS ‘trumped up [pun intended] charges against President Trump? It’s time for Trump to realize that Kevin doesn’t actually have his back,” Giglio stated.

It’s time for Trump to realize that Kevin doesn’t actually have his back.

Giglio lauded the Biggs rebellion, a 5-member mutiny against the RINO establishment, led by Andy Biggs with lieutenant support from Matt Gaetz. The group includes Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ), Rep. Bob Good (R-VA), Rep. Ralph Norman (R-SC), Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), and Rep. Matt Rosendale (R-MT).
“The 5 members, led by Andy Biggs and Matt Gaetz, who are standing firm against Kevin McCarthy are heroes. They understand that a McCarthy speakership would be disastrous for the GOP’s future. To save America, the GOP needs new leaders who will destroy the Swamp, not enable it.”

“If Kevin McCarthy is awarded the gavel, they should change the title to Speaker of the Swamp,” Giglio added.

Giglio implied that the Republican party squandered a giant opportunity with a then-predicted Red Wave during the 2022 congressional election.
“The GOP blew what would have been their biggest win in a generation, and not one person has lost their job. Instead, they predictably scapegoated Trump/MAGA and let the usual hacks parrot the narrative. Trump wasn’t on the ballot. The platform the GOP presented was.”

Giglio asserted that the establishment GOP is attempting to blame MAGA candidates and former President, Donald Trump, for the blown opportunity in November’s election.
“[In case you missed it – Kevin McCarthy and Tom Emmer’s ‘hand-picked’ candidates lost far more House races than Trump’s, and they had financial backing by the party. Blaming MAGA and Trump is how they hide and absolve themselves of their failure,” Giglio stated on Monday.
Georgia State Senator-elect Colton Moore, J6 political prisoner and former District 19 Delegate (WV), Derrick Evans, and Arizona State Rep.-elect Cory McGarr have also publicly denounced McCarthy as candidate for U.S. House Speaker.
The U.S. Constitution does not require that the Speaker of the House be a current member of Congress, however, no non-members have ever been elected.
The election for the next Speaker of the House will take place on January 3rd, 2022.
