House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy lambasted Speaker Nancy Pelosi over the monthslong coronavirus relief deadlock, accusing the Democratic leader of intentionally blocking a stimulus deal in order to hurt Republicans in the 2020 election.
"The speaker of this House has denied the ability to [get] help to the American public, simply because she wanted to determine something would happen in the election, to harm President Trump and him getting re-elected," McCarthy told reporters during a Thursday press conference. "But what has happened is American people are hurting. That has got to stop."
McCarthy slammed Democrats for focusing on issues beyond a stimulus deal and a government funding bill to avoid a shutdown on Dec. 11.
The main bill on the House floor this week is a measure to end a federal ban on marijuana and require courts to expunge prior marijuana convictions. Lawmakers will also take up the Big Cat Public Safety Act, which would ban the ownership of big cats like lions and tigers -- a bill spurred by the popular Netflix docuseries "Tiger King."
"Democrats have focused on cats and cannabis, but not on COVID," McCarthy said. "You'd think after a humiliating defeat in the ballot box this year ... that Democrats would get the picture that Americans are demanding some action on these issues."

Will McCarthy say anything about the alleged fraud evidence in Georgia?
Marijuana? The burning issue of our times? (Ha-ha.)
Actually, I just read that SF has prohibited smoking of tobacco in private apartments ... but specifically permitted the smoking of marijuana (which smells about ten times worse and has even more tar than tobacco).
I guess “stay stoned” will be the motto of our new masters.
Let’s cut off any armed guards that Congte$$ thinks thy are entitled to and also make them fly commercial instead of their private planes that hurt the environment.

Sounds to me like an invasion of privacy. I guess sodomy was not banned though.
McCarthy needs to get California Dominion vote fraud investigated and documented wrt Calif. Congressional races.
If the GOP ever takes over the House, then can they, finally, elect an actual conservative as Speaker, instead of, continuously, electing Squishy Republicans?
No, I don’t believe that is possible, and what’s next, an AG that actually prosecutes Dems? LOL, don’t hold your breath.
I don’t think they’ve gotten to the bedroom level yet. But they will, and who knows what they’ll ban next?
“I guess sodomy was not banned though.”
They’re more likely to make it mandatory.
