Former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) is calling on President Biden to refreeze $6 billion in Iranian funds in the wake of the recent attacks on Israel by Hamas.
In a lengthy address laying out a five-step plan to address the escalating conflict in Israel, McCarthy took aim at the Biden administration for its prisoner swap with Iran and its decision to unfreeze $6 billion in frozen Iranian funds in exchange for the freedom of five wrongfully detained American citizens.
“Biden’s policy on appeasement, including money for hostage deals, must come to an end,” McCarthy said Monday. “His policy has only emboldened terrorists. And handing over $6 billion to Iran only helps the cause. In explaining that to members of Congress, they said they had provisions to refreeze the money if Iran has done something wrong. They should freeze the money back today.”

Freeze?
Seize.
Use the $6B to build a wall on our southern border. Thanks Iran.
Republicans need to take off the gloves and destroy every frickin Democrat, beginning with Biden.
Kevin the weak speaks.
Shut up McCarthy and take that stupid blue and yellow pin off your collar. We don’t want you.
No, Never. Let McCarthy finish his time in Congress simply as a member.
Nice try, but Iran owned a piece of Pal Joey like China, Ukraine, and Russia…
Rats will give it to him.
“We’ve put partisanship aside at a time of National Crisis.”
1. Elect Jordan or Trump as speaker
2. Rescind all money and resources for Ukraine.
3. Give Hamas 24-hours to release all Americans, else declare war on Hamas, track down and kill every last on of them.
4. Fund a wall on the entire Mexican border, fund troops there until border secure.
5. Rescind all work permits, papers, whatever, implement national eVerify, and fund immediate deportation of all illegals and H1B.
a good start.
“But I promised”
What about your promises to the American citizens ???
Freeze it hell, confiscate it and shoot it back at the bastards, just like the Japs did during WWII.
Um think that would be a classic case of closing the barn doors after the horses have already gotten out. Or more likely just posturing for polotical damage control purposes.
Yes, that would be a good start!
Shaddap
Does Joe have to give back his 10% then???
McCarthy had his chance to “get tough.” He spent too much time capitulating to the degenerates across the aisle.
Send our assets thru out the west to Lindon, Paris, NYC, Brussels, Rome, Hong Kong, Madrid, Sydney, etc.....and arrest and detain every last family member of Hammas, Tehran, Hezbolah, PLO, living large......and put them in solitary confinement until hostages are released unharmed, and they leave all Israel territory.
Attach a McCarthy return amendment to a regular order appropriations bill for debate.
Re 2), I’m shifting on Ukraine. Used to support backing them 100%. Not so sure now. Too much corruption. Not our fight? But Ukraine is the backdoor to Europe. Also Putin is a monster. Add in though Ukraine’s historic anti-Israel stance. Then counter with Zekensky condemning Hamas and saying he stands with Israel. That one is too complicated for me to have a solid opinion. Just wish Europe would do more to handle it, but guess that’s a pipe dream.
Re freeze it?
I’d assume it’s been filtered though Chicom banks by now.
My ice cube melted, let’s Re freeze it.
Where was Kev before Brandon unfroze it?
