McCarthy’s Lying Speakership Must Not Continue—He Cut a Side Deal for Ukraine-Funding with McConnell and Biden

The U.S. House of Representatives passed a last-minute spending bill to keep the government funded for an additional 45 days, narrowly averting a government shutdown that would have commenced at 12:01 a.m.

This from gatewaypundit.com.

The bill, spearheaded by House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (RINO-CA), went to the Senate, where it passed 88-9 to avert a shutdown—with only 9 Republican Senators voting against the stop-gap spending that funds all of the communist/globalist policies to destroy America.

With a 335-91 vote, the House approved a 45-day temporary funding measure that excludes border security and $6 billion in funding for Ukraine.

The bill includes provisions for disaster relief funds that likely swayed some communists/globalists to vote in favor.

Shortly after today’s vote news broke that Kevin McCarthy pulled a fast one and made a side deal with GOP Minority leader Mitch McConnell and Joe Biden to fund Ukraine.

Via Steve Bannon on GETTR:

Sure enough. Kevin McCarthy apparently made a side deal and will hold an up-or-down vote to continue to send billions in US taxpayer money to Ukraine for their war with Russia.

McCarthy did not tell House Republicans about the deal until after the continuing resolution passed.

The following from thegatewaypundit.com.

And now McCarthy is pouting. He’s thrown a temper tantrum.

McCarthy vented publicly against members of his Republican conference Saturday after the stopgap spending bill rode communist/globalist support to House passage.

After the vote, McCarthy expressed his frustration:

You can always count on Americans to do what’s right after they’ve exhausted every other option.

What the hell does this mean, Kevin?

McCarthy noted that he tried to listen to all of the divergent opinions form his conference in the days leading up to Saturday’s vote.

Poppycock !!

McCarthy whined:

I tried every possible way listening to every single person in the caucus.

Again, poppycock !!

It was tough, but we got it through.

McCarthy said the stopgap bill that went down in flames Friday night would:

Secure our border [and] cut wasteful spending, but I had some members in our own conference that wouldn’t vote for that.

 

The bill that passed eliminated aid for Ukraine conservative Republicans

opposed as well as spending cuts conservative Republicans had wanted.

 

McCarthy said:

So if you have members in your conference that won’t let you vote for appropriation bills, doesn’t want an omnibus, and won’t vote for a stopgap measure—so the only answer is to shut down and not pay our troops, I don’t want to be a part of that team.

‘ sounds like a plan. Resign your Speakership and your elected office and the GOP will contain one less RINO.

But he continued to whine:

I want to be a part of a conservative group that wants to get things done.

Again, poppycock, you compromised RINO sellout.

Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida had repeatedly said that:

[I]f McCarthy should do what in fact he did—frame a bill that would bypass conservatives and gain support for Democrats—Gaetz would instigate a process to have McCarthy removed as Speaker.

McCarthy said, according to NBC:

If somebody wants to make a motion against me, bring it. There has to be an adult in the room.

And may the “adult in the room” be Congressman Gaetz. Please, Rep. Gaetz, BRING IT.

McCarthy, still whining and now lying:

There’s no bill that can pass with one party or the other.

Still whining:

When are you guys gonna get over that it’s alright that you put America first?

That it’s alright if Republicans and Democrats joined together to do what is right?

After the vote on the stopgap bill, Gaetz tried to get the attention of the chair for the day, Republican Rep. Steve Womack of Arkansas, but Womack did not recognize him as the House adjourned until Monday.

Gaetz later said McCarthy’s speakership:

[Was] on some tenuous ground.

But not everyone was abandoning McCarthy.

Republican Rep. Mike Lawler of New York said:

I think Kevin McCarthy has done a phenomenal job as speaker.

I think he’s been continually underestimated. And here again today, you saw him lead.

So at the end of the day, if somebody wants to bring a motion to vacate, that’s their business. But it will be defeated.

Final thoughts: Sadly, gone is the 18th century option of challenging your opponent to a duel to settle differences of opinion.
