Who's David Giglio?

By Rich Kozlovich

On Tuesday Ian MacConnell published the article, The Republican Caucus in Chaos? Hardly, confirming Gaetz and his group really were the Heroic Eight, and outlined exactly want these eight gutsy members of the Freedom Caucus wanted, which is exactly what their conservative base want.

Drain the Swamp, stop all the omnibus bills used to spend without restrictions or accountability, end continuing resolutions and pass budgets as the Constitution requires, and if that means shutting the government down, so be it. Expose the Uniparty, and the RINO's who are a part of that vile cabal. 

By taking action against some of the Democrats sitting on committees McCarthy gave the impression he would work with the conservatives, but we have to remember, he was the pick of the RINO's and Uniparty because they are who he is!  It wasn't long before he slid right back into that pit of corruption with his one man negotiating team with the Democrats on a spending resolution, a party that's doing everything to destroy America, making McCarthy a fellow traveler.  Then he followed up with another spending resolution because he previously recessed the House for six weeks, and did all this in spite of the fact he promised conservatives he'd end all of that. 

He only supported the Biden impeachment because conservatives threatened to have him removed as Speaker if he didn't.  Then Gaetz started his campaign to oust him, and that gusty move was the beginning to his end.  And Gaetz stood his ground in spite of all the vitriol that was thrown his way, and he succeeded.

As this all unfolded McCarthy made public statements that were nothing about what he was really up to.  He wanted to be Speaker again, and we now know he was backstabbing each and every one of the candidates hoping he could get back into the Speaker's chair. And how exactly could that happen?  We already know it was McCarthy who cut a deal with the Democrats in the first place, not Gaetz, and I'm sure he thought they would support him for Speaker again to avoid a conservative being chosen.  How delusional can a man be?

All this exposed the RINO's for who and what they are, and then they realized Trump was inserting himself into this mess.  That scared them.  They feared he would come out against them in the next election, and panicked.  Johnson was chosen unanimously, and now, McCarthy and his supporters are "in full retreat", and all that vindictive and snotty arrogance is turning into fear, and rightly so, since I have no doubt when they come up for re-election, Trump will come out against them!  If he's elected, he knows they're the enemy, and he has no desire for them to be in Congress.

That brings me to David Giglio. He's the MAGA Challenger to Kevin McCarthy:

 David Giglio, a self-proclaimed "America First" Republican who owns and operates a sports card and memorabilia business, announced on Monday that he would challenge McCarthy in next year's GOP primary. Giglio previously ran a failed campaign in the 2022 GOP primary for California's 13th Congressional District.  Giglio slammed McCarthy as a member of the "corrupt uniparty" in a statement announcing his campaign. 

Giglio pledged to deliver "radical change" while praising former President Donald Trump and accused McCarthy of "capitulating to [President] Joe Biden and the radical Democrats." "After years of being sold out to special interests, the people of the Central Valley deserve an America First Republican fighting for them in Washington and working alongside President Donald Trump to WAGE WAR against the corrupt uniparty!"............

That's what the conservative base wants to hear, and wants to see put into action.  The conservatives who won in 2020 and 2022 were chosen because a larger and larger portion of the voting public has come to realize these Uniparty nitwits have place the nation at serious risk at many levels.  They also realize it will take drastic .... and dramatic..... action to save America.  Because of the actions of the Heroic Eight, and the nightmare of this Israel/HAMAS War, America is finally becoming enlightened, and liberals are going to bed as conservatives.

I've stated in the past if Gaetz is reelected, he will be one of the most powerful members in the Congress, and now, McCarthy is done because of him, his power is gone, his ability to sway events is gone, and his Never Trump RINO supporters are badly diminished, and voters may decide next year they've worked hard enough in Congress and need to spend more time with their families... permanently.  

So, who really is David Giglio?  Just one of many who I think will be challenging RINO's in 2024, which brings me to this.  Remember when Newt Gengrich and Mark Levin railed against Gaetz and wanted him kicked out of the Republican caucus for ousting McCarthy, the man everyone is now calling a RINO?  Gengrich didn't surprise me, but Levin did.  So, what are we hearing from them now?  

Crickets.
