McCarthy's Revenge Tour Continues As Allies Begin Funding Challengers to Those Who Ousted Him

Kevin McCarthy is gone, but not forgotten. Particularly as he continues to take swipes at those who removed him from the one seat he wanted more than anything else - the Speaker's Chair.

He's been out there insulting Nancy Mace and Matt Gaetz, two of the people responsible for his ouster, and apparently he's not content to just lob insults. As previously reported, he's also planning his revenge tour against the party he said he would fight for.

As previously reported, he's also planning his revenge tour against the party he said he would fight for.

The American Prosperity Alliance has ties to the former speaker, and they are beginning to launch attack ads against several of those House members.

In South Carolina, Mace will go up against Catherine Templeton, a former gubernatorial candidate.

Crane, the lone freshman to vote against McCarthy, will face former Yavapai County Supervisor Jack Smith in Arizona.

The American Prosperity Alliance has already spent "$330,000 against Mace, nearly $160,000 against Good, roughly $218,000 against Crane and $150,000 against Kaptur," POLITICO reports.

Again, former McCarthy adviser Brian Walsh is at the center of the attack.

While at the NRSC during the early Tea Party era, Walsh helped mastermind the Establishment's attack ads against Ken Buck in Colorado.
