this speech from Gallagher is really a generic red meat Republican stump speech with McCarthy's name slotted in — PolitiTweet.org

Hayes Brown @HayesBrown

Gallagher says that Republicans were given the chance to "inject some basic, common sense on the federal government, to pull the breaks on the crazy that we've seen the last few years" — PolitiTweet.org
