Kevin McCarthy Reflects On History During Tour Of First Speaker’s House

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., recently toured the home of Frederick Muhlenberg, the first Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, and reflected on the historical importance of his position.
During the tour in Trappe, Pennsylvania, located about 30 miles north of Philadelphia, leaders of a local historical society took McCarthy around Muhlenberg’s property — dubbed “The Speaker’s House” — and the Henry Muhlenberg House which was owned by Frederick Muhlenberg’s father, a well-known 18th century Lutheran minister.
“I wanted to come to the house of the very first speaker of the House of Representatives, Frederick Muhlenberg. You learn from history,” McCarthy told Fox News Digital in an exlusive interview following the tour. “Think about if you became the very first speaker of Congress — setting up a new nation, how did you create the tradition, the history?”

  1. Its like you read my mind! You seem to know a lot about this, like you wrote the book in it or
    something. I think that you could do with some pics to drive the message home a bit, but instead of that, this
    is excellent blog. A fantastic read. I will certainly be back.

  2. Greetings from Florida! I’m bored to death at work so I decided to
    check out your website on my iphone during lunch break.

    I really like the information you present here
    and can’t wait to take a look when I get home. I’m surprised at how fast your blog loaded on my phone
