DEVELOPING STORY: House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) delayed quick passage of the Democrat’s Build Back Broke spending plan late Thursday night by holding the floor for more than three hours in a filibuster-style speech. Democrats repeatedly interrupted McCarthy’s speech with jeers and yells to “vote!”
Every page of the Democrats' Socialist Spending Scam will be paid for by or borrowed from you: America’s hardworking taxpayers.
Watch the speech live below
This is the single most reckless and irresponsible spending bill in our nation’s history. https://t.co/OCJJ0XaXzU — Kevin McCarthy (@GOPLeader) November 19, 2021
Yep, it’s a kabuki show. Or kayfabe in the wrestling business. Has he seen too many posts on FR that’s he’s too RINO to be Speaker? But at least he’s having to work a bit.

It would appear that a few ppl commenting here have not viewed the video and are giving McCarthy short-shrift:

Nope, she brought them back - it just passed.
Defying her when it won’t actually do anything, instead of doing so earlier when it would have made a difference?
re: “instead of doing so earlier when it would have made a difference?”
EASY for you to say that NOW too.
Not really. People were urging him to take action after the Great Stealection (including me) but he just sat there like a lump for months and did nothing but make vague noises of disapproval.
Maybe. My comment is regarding the use by copy editors of bombastic adjectives.
Wish McCarthy would conduct himself like that more often. He’s a good speaker, but sometimes comes across as slick - too slick.
she calls herself a democratic socialist. she wants you to slit your own throat.
