It isn't easy for someone to make Kevin McCarthy seem like a sympathetic figure. It turns out that AZ is home to one such someone.

Actually, we have two of those people, Paul Gosar being the second.  

But this isn't about him.

Arizona Republican announces run for House speaker, complicating McCarthy’s path

House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy’s bid for the speakership grew more complicated on Tuesday after a hard-right Republican announced his bid for the gavel next month, a move that could set off a messy floor fight and leave their party without a candidate who can win the 218 votes needed to become speaker.

Despite losing the House GOP Conference’s nomination to be speaker last month, Rep. Andy Biggs, the hard-right Arizona Republican and one-time leader of the House Freedom Caucus, announced he will be a candidate for the speakership when the full House votes on January 3.

“I’m running for Speaker to break the establishment,” Biggs wrote on Twitter. “Kevin McCarthy was created by, elevated by, and maintained by the establishment.”

Andy Biggs, putting AZ into the news again.

And again, not in a good way.
