After it was announced that Speaker John Boehner was retiring, conservative radio talk show host Mark Levin said don’t elect Kevin McCarthy to the speakership because McCarthy is just like Eric Cantor except 10 IQ points lower. Last night McCarthy proved Levin was correct.
Kevin McCarthy appears on Sean Hannity show and gives the Democrats defending Hillary Clinton an atomic sledgehammer to wield against Trey Gowdy and the Senate Select Committee on Benghazi. Listen (video prompted to 4:04):

Essentially what McCarthy is saying, when viewed from the perspective of how the Democrat political punditry will use it, is that the Gowdy committee is only in place to damage candidate Hillary Clinton politically.
Is it any wonder why today reports from inside the beltway who opine that Trey Gowdy is ready to hang it up? Seriously.
Representative Gowdy has gone out of his way to insure the Benghazi Committee would be protected from partisan narratives claiming it was only a political witch hunt.
In less than a minute, McCarthy hands Team Hillary a perfectly set-up talking point to showcase exactly what Trey Gowdy has been trying to avoid.
And….. RIGHT ON CUE – WATCH:
