Hornet's Nest Republican Men's Club

WBT’s Brett Winterble interviews legendary former UNC Chapel Hill basketball coach Matt Doherty about our Spring Event with 3 members of the "Freedom 20" who stood up for transparency and common sense in the Congress during January's Speaker's vote.

At the beginning of the 118th Congress, 5 heroic House members took a stand and refused to vote for Kevin McCarthy as Speaker unless he agreed to tangible institutional change. Soon their ranks swelled to 20. These brave members will forever be known as the "Freedom 20". What they accomplished cannot be denied. True change came to the House despite the Democrat media, some of their own colleagues and pundits in the conservative movement targeting these members as "terrorists". In this video, see how attitudes changed and always remember that it is important that you understand the whole story before making up your mind.

Texas Congressman Chip Roy was the Keynote Speaker at the Hornet's Nest Republican Men's Club Spring 2023 Event focusing on the events surrounding the "Freedom 20" and their fight for transparency and accountability for the 118th Congress. Congressman Roy was a key negotiator with Speaker Kevin McCarthy during the 15 rounds of voting it took to ensure the House of Representatives saw true institutional change.
