House Speaker Kevin McCarthy privately delivered a message to Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell this week: The Senate’s bipartisan bill to keep the government open wouldn’t get a vote in his chamber unless significant changes are made.
And then when the speaker appeared before his conference on Wednesday morning, McCarthy relayed that same message and later made clear he wouldn’t put the Senate bill on the House floor, underscoring the divide between the two most powerful Republicans in Washington at a pivotal moment for the country and their party.
With just days left until government funding runs dry, the two men are at sharp odds as McCarthy is rejecting the deal McConnell cut with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and still trying to rely on House GOP votes to bolster his conference’s negotiating position.
Imagine being considered the less mentally capable party leader when the other guy freezes up in interviews and has to be led away by his staff.
McConnell got played by fascists and now he’s just stunlocked at every corner because he’s old as a white dog turd.
Conservatives have always been losers and frauds. Fuck them for not growing up.
Mitch doesn’t scare anybody any more now that he’s only half there.
Every photo of him looks like he’s barely hanging on.
Quite possibly one of the most brutal pieces I’ve seen yet about that
So wrong, but…
I laughed anyway.
