McCarthy Backs Up Threat to GOP Senators

[brooklynite]

Source: Political Wire

House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) — who is still trying to shore up conservative backing for his speaker bid — gave his full support to the 13 House Republicans who said they’d tank any policy priorities of GOP senators who vote for the omnibus.

Said McCarthy: “Agreed. Except no need to whip — when I’m Speaker, their bills will be dead on arrival in the House if this nearly $2T monstrosity is allowed to move forward over our objections and the will of the American people.”

Of course, one of those GOP senators backing the omnibus is Mitch McConnell.

1. Two years of bs

We will see a ton of government shut downs. I guess these idiots don't want America competing in science, having decent infrastructure or anything else. Lets just gut everything and to hell with the poor, disabled and people that need help.

Sick people we're dealing with.

[Walleye]

5. We got a face it. These MAGA republican hate the United States

[Texin]

20. No. They just hate the working class, elderly, poor, women, children and

anyone who can get sick (unless the sick and the elderly, the women and children die, which is a feature and not a bug of their wet dreams). Basically, these selfish ghouls want a nation of old rich males.

[Walleye]

24. That, but they also hate our government and the constitution

[AZLD4Candidate]

28. MAGA - Love the US, hate Americans.

[Walleye]

29. And they hate the constitution, all but the second amendment

[AZLD4Candidate]

31. They love the 1st amendment free speech clause, so long as it applies to them absolutely

with no consequence for anything they say. Otherwise, you're "cancelling" them.

[grumpyduck]

2. Prick.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

3. Looks like little Kevie needs to be Mitch-slapped.

Go for it Mitch.

Civil War brewing here among Republican leadership? The Senate and House do not operate on the same rules.

[Walleye]

6. I like that!

[True Blue American]

22. Kevin does not even have the votes yet

And Kevin, gym, Andy Biggs and Perry at
Re included in their report! They ignored subpoena’s. You think Democrats will honor theirs?

[republianmushroom]

4. Kevin, it is, if you become speaker.

[GreenWave]

7. I shall long for the day, "Hello Kevin. My name is Jack Smith..."

[ancianita]

27. Me, too. Same for Andy Biggs who's running against McCarthy as House cesspool Speaker.

[ancianita]

8. We'll handle this. And keep a running count of the national damage they do every month.

The nation will see them as nation killers for their Big Corps masters.

[calimary]

15. YES. We MUST be ruthless!

RUTHLESS AS HELL.

I hope there are TONS of campaign commercials on how utterly lost these assholes are. And I hope those campaign commercials start EARLY!!!

[modrepub]

19. Being Ruthless

would mean actually equating government funding being tied to how much tax revenue your state/Congressional district contributes. States and areas that receive more federal funding than they pay in need to see cuts to get them to wise up and start cooperating to get things done. You want to be a horse's ass? Fine, just don't take other people's money.

[JudyM]

30. As soon as we get our communications game on.

[Marthe48]

9. Good time to humiliate kevin

His political capital is eroding. Senate r's could reduce him to nothing if they vote for bills in spite of his asinine threats. I'd like to see it happen.

Sick and tired of r's holding my country captive.

[aeromanKC]

10. Kevin is in WAY over his head.

My money is on Mitch.

[Ray Bruns]

21. Mine too. You don't stay in office as long as Mitch has without knowing the ins and outs of

Congress

[WestMichRad]

11. That knife can slice both ways, Kev.

And Mitch knows how to play the game much better than you do.

[calimary]

16. Yep.

[ShazzieB]

12. Little Kevvie is so cute when he tries to act all big and tough.

[True Blue American]

23. former mentor of Kevin says he is a liar.

[NCjack]

13. Kevin, for you to move any important bill through the House, you will need

House DEM support. Think about that.

[onetexan]

14. What happens if by Jan3 the GOP dont have a speaker?

[mcar]

17. Ooh, I bet they're scared

[Old Crank]

18. So the will of 13 Republican House members

Is the will of the people but not the votes of a majority of the Senate.

[myohmy2]

25. maybe...

...Chuck and the turtle could cooperate to find ways to help kevy and his MAGAt's be more friendly...

...I'm sure there's something...

...MAGAt's are not nice creatures...

[czarjak]

26. Whack-a-Mole Mitch just loves to play too.
