"The guy who now wants to be two heartbeats away from the presidency admits to wasting millions of taxpayer dollars in a purely political conspiracy to bring down a former secretary of state.
That alone should disqualify Kevin McCarthy from being the next speaker of the House.
But here's the thing, the Benghazi conspiracy is really just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Kevin McCarthy.
It's nothing compared to the part he played - and continues to play - in the "Caucus Room conspiracy," that began seven years ago this January.
On January 20, 2009 - a night when the Obamas were dancing at inaugural balls - a group of Republicans were planning the end of the Obama presidency before it even got going.
At the Caucus Room restaurant in Washington, DC, they drew up a plan to intentionally sabotage Obama at every point possible.
On the guest list for this "invitation only" meeting were Republican Senators like Jim DeMint, Jon Kyl, Tom Coburn, John Ensign and Bob Corker.
Also in attendance were Congressmen Paul Ryan, Pete Sessions, Jeb Hensarling, Pete Hoekstra, Dan Lungren, Eric Cantor, and - you guessed it - Kevin McCarthy.
Over the course of four hours, this group of powerful conservative lawmakers committed to a plan of action.
They promised each other that they would filibuster and obstruct any and all legislation supported by the new president, Barack Obama.
They would do everything possible, for as long as it took, to make his a "failed presidency."
Newt Gingrich, who was also there at the Caucus Room, admitted to me a few years later that Republicans were actually intentionally trying to sabotage the Obama administration."
