House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy and his Republican colleagues blasted House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and President Biden on Thursday for putting the “country in crisis,” pointing to the influx of immigrants at the border, the conflicting guidelines over mask wearing, rising prices of consumer goods and the surging crime rates in American cities.
“We have a country in crisis,” McCarthy (R-Calif.) said during a news conference with other Republican House members on Capitol Hill.

Standing on the Capitol steps, McCarthy said you can see the Senate on the other side.
“Not quite sure where the CDC got, but somewhere in the middle of that dome, the science changes. If you are a Capitol Police officer, you got orders that … if a vaccinated staffer comes across outside without a mask, you’re ordered to arrest them,” he said.
“This is not the America we know. This is not Pelosi’s house, this is the people’s house,” he continued.
McCarthy said he and House Republicans will make a pledge to Americans.
“We will not allow the CDC to be political. We’ll base decisions on science, and we will fight for the American people. The goal is simple. Back to work, back to school, back to health, and back to normal,” he said.
“If they can take the nation’s capital, and in one building, tell you the science is different from one side to the other, they could do the same throughout the nation. Republican Congress will not allow this to happen,” he said.
He also said the Republicans want a speaker who takes time to “understand the science, instead of just calling people names,” referring to Pelosi (D-Calif.) calling him a “moron” over his objection to the mask mandate in the House.

Did he stomp his foot too?
Probably not... hair would muss-up.
Holy smoke, how did this happen?
DC boasts the greatest gathering of F-ups on the planet - that includes many Republicans, though not all, but ALL CommieRats
Even now, fbi and capitol police plotting mass arrest of maskless perpetrators.
It’s performance art.
Unless I see action behind the words, it’s Kabuki.
they decided to take a minute or two
from their preening before the MSM,
and from their stealing donations to Pres. Trump,
and from their backstabbing Pres. Trump and their voters,
and from helping the CCP and DNC and Communists
ruin the Republic which was under their watch and control
when they abrogated their responsibility and Oaths.
Lets see some action! Also, how about the MAGA supporters in DC jail? Maybe you all should go over there at 9pm and sing the National Anthem with these people who are not being treated properly.
McCarthy rocking a stunner from his baby blue tie collection. Sweet.
Nice speec, Kevin, but what about removing Cheney and Kinzinger from any other committee positions they still hold? The GOP must realize, Liz is playing Hardball.
And Toto (Kinzinger)too!
Both are showing their misplaced fealty to Nancy by making repeated disrespectful remarks about the Minority Leader.
Maybe Nancy has promised them both something.
Amazing. I know they don’t write laws or anything else, but they’re the ones voting on them to control us peasants.
And most of them probably couldn’t complete a grammatically correct sentence.
I thought Senators and Representatives were immune from arrest, except for felonies and a few other crimes, while Congress is in session.
They shall in all Cases, except Treason, Felony and Breach of the Peace, be privileged from Arrest during their Attendance at the Session of their respective Houses, and in going to and returning from the same; and for any Speech or Debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any other Place.
Do you think those idiots know that?
agreed- most of them were silent for 7 months while peaceful protestors were treated like political prisoners in solitary confinment
He should write a scathing letter.
Maybe you all should go over there at 9pm and sing the National Anthem with these people
= = =
Oh I like this idea.
Heard from incarcerated’s relative that folks gathered to pray and sing outside.
Gulag attendees closed gulag windows (in heat and humidity).
Pelosi’s edict was for staff and visitors to be arrested.
How about we stop waiting for others to take action.
How about we all go to DC and have another peaceful protest at the Capitol without masks?
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha…… wonder what federal code they’ll be in violation of.
Those people are insane.
Surrender Monkey McCarthy speaks... However, he will write her a strongly worded letter too.
The idiot was asked to have a Speaker of the House vote. Likely Nancy might be gone due to the rebellion in her party. The coward won’t.
