Democrats can’t complain about the retribution Kevin McCarthy is threatening

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, likely the chamber’s next speaker, is holding firm to his pledge to strip three liberal Democrats of their committee assignments when the new Congress is seated next year.

That’s not sitting well with Democrats, as they are about to enter the House minority for the first time in four years. One of the lawmakers McCarthy singled out said it was part of a broader Republican campaign of “fear, xenophobia, Islamophobia and racism,” while another said the GOP leader was appealing to the “lowest common denominator” and “if that lowest common denominator wants to remove people from committee, that’s what they’ll do.”

Based on his past performance, I am not at all confident that he will follow through.

With the track record of Kevin and the gop, does anyone really think he’ll do anything other than send sternly worded letters and open up worthless investigations?

Maybe Kevin will grow a spine and surprise me, but I won’t hold my breath till he does.

That’s about the size of it. I’m expecting nothing to move our pro-American agenda forward. With a few exceptions, they are there to help Dems move their agenda forward.

Well, there you go. The same pearl clutching faggot RINO fanbois that have crawled out of the woodwork and are presently having a meltdown about Trump dining with Fuentes will surely be curled up in a fetal position now that their favorite RINO is officially raciss.

Take a knee!

McCarthy should shut his pie hole and actually do something when the time comes. And, the first think he should do is file articles and begin the investigation for the impeachment of Merrick Garland.

they don’t have to worry.
McCarthy is a toothless tiger.
That is why the uniparty will deploy him.
He is Anti trump.
So is the entire republican party...

Maga will have to take them out... from two directions... TOP DOWN and grass roots up....

When the economy collapses, then their “our money is the power” paradigm... will no longer matter.

How about a new cartoon show:

Kevin and the Goop.

Describes my opinion of them.

A Kid show, for entertainment only.

If it were me and I was Speaker and had the power I’d remove Schiff, Tlaib, AOC, Pressley, and Omar from ANY committee assignments, period. None, zip, nada. Let them try and find lobbyist money when they have no committees to influence at all.

That remains to be seen but… the democrats have set alot of dangerous precedents in the last few years. Time to reap what theyve sewn.

I have a far better and more effective idea, remove them from their life support.

The democrats will complain about anything they need to complain about to get votes.
