Welcome to the Hilltop, Kevin McCarthy!

We are looking forward to a conversation moderated by GU Politics Executive Director Mo Elleithee 🇺🇸 to discuss the state of American democracy. #McCarthyAtGU

“Under your leadership, the Republican Party, in every turn, threw out democratic attempts to standardize elections across the country,” one student said. “Do you feel you have turned your back on democracy in any way?” #McCarthyAtGU

“It's not like we have two parties in America. We don't have two parties in Congress, we have five or six different parties” - Kevin McCarthy on ideological divisions within political parties #McCarthyAtGU

Thank you Kevin McCarthy for joining us on the Hilltop and talking about bipartisanship, foreign policy and democratic institutions, and for engaging our students in lively conversation. #McCarthyAtGU

“Democracy is still the greatest form of government… democracy itself is not fast. It's not overly efficient in certain manners, and those reasons why people start having a lack of trust in going backwards” - Kevin McCarthy #McCarthyAtGU

“One of the cornerstones of democracy is your ability to question something” - Kevin McCarthy #McCarthyAtGU

Kevin McCarthy referring to an internship in his district. “You know what he did? He turned me down. But you know what I did? I got elected to the seat I couldn’t get an internship in and became 55th Speaker of the House. Only in America could that happen.” #McCarthyAtGU
