Former television host Meghan McCain blasted failed Arizona candidate for governor Kari Lake (R) on Sunday over an ongoing family feud and for denying the outcome of the 2022 election for governor.

"She made it so personal," McCain told Fox News host Howard Kurtz. "She has attacked my mother, my brother, my dad, me. I mean, it made it wildly personal. Things I don't want to repeat on your show because it's so gross."

South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem (R) took a shot at Republican Party Chair Ronna McDaniel after her party performed poorly in the 2022 midterm elections.

During a Sunday appearance on Fox News, host Sean Duffy asked Noem to comment on McDaniel's future as RNC chair.

Rep. James Comer (R-KY), the incoming House Oversight chair, said on Sunday that he backed new laws to prevent fentanyl deaths but not gun violence.

Dr. Anthony Fauci noted that Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) will never be able to follow through with his promise to chair hearings about the pandemic response because Republicans did not gain control of the Senate in the midterm elections.

"There have been all these House Republican calls for investigations into the origins of COVID and saying they're gonna bring you up to Capitol Hill," CBS host Margaret Brennan told Fauci in an interview that aired on Sunday. "Do you think that wanes as you step down?"

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) called on his colleagues in Congress to "defund" special counsel Jack Smith's investigation into former President Donald Trump.

While speaking to podcaster Steve Bannon on Tuesday, Gaetz suggested that Smith should not have been appointed special counsel because his wife made a film about Michelle Obama and contributed to President Joe Biden's 2020 presidential campaign.

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) says he has a large enough "critical mass" of House Republicans to prevent Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) from becoming Speaker in the new Congress.

During an interview with right-wing podcast host Steve Bannon on Tuesday, Gaetz said that at least five Republicans would vote against McCarthy on Jan. 3 to prevent him from taking the gavel.

Former White House adviser Steve Bannon on Monday called on Republicans in the next Congress to make a formal judgment about the outcome of the 2020 presidential election.

During a rant on his War Room podcast, Bannon suggested that Republicans have the power to "adjudicate" the election. He called the Biden administration an "illegitimate regime."

A Fox News expert said on Sunday that hate crimes against the LGBTQ+ community happen because children are not taught tolerance in elementary schools.

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) threatened to investigate special counsel Jack Smith after he was appointed to lead an investigation into former President Donald Trump's misuse of government documents and his effort to subvert the 2020 presidential election.

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) said on Sunday that he would keep his vow to prevent top Democrats from serving on committees if elected Speaker of the House.

Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) may realize his dream and become Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives — but he won't last long, according to one House Republican.
