106 in House GOP Back Texas Suit; McCarthy Refuses to Sign

Posted on 12/11/2020 6:23:08 AM PST by jetvol1

Some notable Republicans that did not sign on are House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., and GOP Conference Chairwoman Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., the latter of whom has emerged as a Trump critic.

During a House GOP leadership news conference Thursday, McCarthy twice declined to say he would sign on to Texas lawsuit, telling reporters only: "The president has a right for every legal challenge to be heard. He has the right to go to the Supreme Court with it, yes."

Not good enough Kevin. Get on board or get run over. The Trump train is on the tracks heading your way...this guy always seemed squishy.

McCarthy is and always has been a dyed in the wool RINO. Don’t trust him.

Should Trump lose he will be in line to be house speaker should 2022 bear fruit. Speaker does not need to be a member of congress. Much more effective but the GOP falling in line is far fetched. Interesting thought though. Mcarthy will have to be dealt with.

Cheney and McCarthy need serious demotions, at leadt, on January 3rd. What does it say about our House Pubbies that they are among the critters chosen for thwir leadership? (And yes, that is why I don’t want the electoral vote to go the the House, despite the GOP-majority number of states represented by them.

It annoys me so much every time I get an email from this guy Addressing himself as “Leader” McCarthy

He may be the minority leader in congress but that’s not a title

See: Rene Ellmers the ex NC R rep McCarthy was banging, and thus got rid of one of the top Tobacco Inc demonrats (20year dem rep). See the hand of Boehner (Cannabis, Inc. head lobbyist) in this influence- an odd mix of Chamber of Commerce doofuses and the “medical marijuana” hustlers. Trump neither a boozer or loser stoner and major law enforcement stand in the way. Squishy ventriloquist dummy McCarthy. Mo Brooks may step up. Nancy will be gone.

Howie66 :" McCarthy is and always has been a dyed in the wool RINO. Don’t trust him. "

No wonder why the party is so ineffective and spineless.
The enemy is within the supposed leadership:
..Boehner, then
..Ryan, then
.. and now McCarthy !!

If the Republicans win back the House in 2022, McCarthy will be a Speaker as bad as Ryan and Boehner (remember him?) were.

Republicans now need to drop the “next guy in line” mentality and pick someone like Jim Jordan as the next Speaker, or we will have the same mess we had with Ryan and Boehner buddying up to Obama, with McCarthy paling up withBiden.

After Flimsey Grahamnesty and Micro Rubio give the Democrats 30+ million voters with amnesty for illegal aliens, we won’t have to worry about 2022 or 2024 or 2026 or 2028 or.......

“McCarthy will be a Speaker as bad as Ryan and Boehner (remember him?) “

Boehner was worse than Ryan. The very easy to sign bills that didnt even need deep state approval, he wouldn’t do and start crying for sympathy..

Kevin is too busy working on this:

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) is calling on Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) to be removed from Congress following reports that he had been targeted by a Chinese spy.

Nice try at deflection, Kevin.
