KEVIN, TELL THEM, "I AM NOT THE MAN FOR THE JOB"
The Wikipedia page of North Carolina Republican Congresswoman Renee Ellmers was edited by a federal government IP address to accuse her of having an affair with Republican Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy.
“Ellmers is alleged to have been involved in an extra-marital affair with Republican House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy since 2011,” the edited article read. The sources listed for the allegation were a Breitbart article (which didn’t allege anything of the sort) and a blog post by conservative blogger Charles C. Johnson.
The edit was reversed by another editor, calling them “not reliable sources”. But the Washington Free Beacon’s Lachlan Markay noticed something interesting about the IP address behind the anonymous edit…

Kevin McCarthy seemed to have been stuck at 170 votes, well short of the 218 he would have needed to be elected Speaker.
JOHN BOEHNER TO CONTINUE ON AS SPEAKER INDEFINITELY
