Fox News contributor Marc Thiessen issued a strong warning Wednesday to the group of anti-Kevin McCarthy Republicans<\/a> putting up roadblocks in selecting the House speaker as voting dragged on another day without a winner.<\/p>\n

“If this is the model of the future for the next two years, we’re in big trouble on the Republican Party,” Thiessen said on “America Reports<\/a>” as 20 Republicans once again blocked McCarthy’s election.<\/p>\n

“If this is the future of the next two years of the House where everything we try to do is held hostage by a small band of people, then this is going to be the most chaotic and failed House majority in the history of the country.”<\/p>\n

Opposing reps.-elect include Colorado’s Lauren Boebert and Florida’s Matt Gaetz as well as Texas’ Chip Roy, who nominated Rep.-elect Byron Donalds, R-Fla., in the fourth vote for speaker Wednesday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

LIVE UPDATES: THE VOTE FOR HOUSE SPEAKER<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Thiessen’s analysis came after the fourth round of voting, where Donalds acquired 20 votes from Republicans, leaving McCarthy with 201 after Rep.-elect Victoria Spartz, R-Ind., changed her vote to “present.” Democratic nominee Rep.-elect Hakeem Jeffries received 212 votes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Thiessen argued the “irony” of the unfolding drama stems from the weak outcome for Republicans in the November midterms, where a surprising amount of GOP candidates were “rejected” by voters, leaving the party only a slim majority in the House.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“If the red wave arrived, this would never be happening,” Thiessen said. “If we had a 30-vote majority and there had been a red wave, this wouldn’t be happening today because they wouldn’t need those five, you know, now growing a faction of votes.”<\/p>\n

While he argued their influence has strengthened due to the weak performance, Thiessen noted the GOP faction’s power<\/a> is still “limited.”<\/p>\n

“They have the power to stop Kevin McCarthy from becoming speaker if they hold their ground. They don’t have the power to elect a speaker of their own because the majority of the House is more moderate,” he said.<\/p>\n

Former President Donald Trump’s endorsement of McCarthy<\/a> Wednesday did not sway any votes, leading Thiessen to conclude that the party needs to “move on beyond” their former party leader.<\/p>\n

“He’s a shrinking former president,” Thiessen remarked.<\/p>\n

With dissenting Republicans “holding the House hostage,” Thiessen argued if McCarthy were to find a way to squeeze out the 218 votes needed, the amount of concessions required with give the most extreme Republicans more power.<\/p>\n

“What I worry about going forward is that if McCarthy were to succeed at this point\u2026 he’s got a gun to his head now,” Thiessen said. “He’s given made so many concessions to this group<\/a> that you’re going to have a faction of about five of the most extreme Republicans in the House caucus who basically have veto power over anything that the House Republican caucus does.”<\/p>\n

“Has he given up so much and would another speaker candidate who stepped in to replace him have to make those same concessions to get the job?”<\/p>\n

McCarthy has remained staunch in his bid for speaker, arguing he has “earned” the position. Thiessen, however, rejected that notion and argued the party may have to come to a consensus on a new leader.<\/p>\n

“He is not entitled to the speakership of the House of Representatives<\/a>. And I don’t know that he’s earned it. The Republican Party put in the worst performance of any party in the minority since JFK,” Theissen remarked.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“If Kevin McCarthy can’t put this away, at some point, we’re going to have to move on,” he continued.<\/p>\n

“It’s not about him. It’s about advancing conservative ideas and getting the best speaker who can do that who can bring the whole caucus together.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
