House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy told Breitbart News that the U.S. Chamber of Commerce has no place in the modern Republican Party and that the big business lobby is not going to be welcome back if and when Republicans are back in power.
McCarthy’s comments came during the latest On The Hill long-form video special, taped in December at an Eastern Market establishment on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC.
“The Chamber left the party a long time ago,” McCarthy said. “In the last election, the Chamber supported Democrats. The Chamber gave a higher score to Democrats who are voting for this policy because they signed some letter then voted the opposite of what the letter said than Kevin Brady who was chair of Ways and Means and brought us the tax cuts. I just assume they have as much influence in the future as they do now—none. Our responsibility is to the American public. That is who’s going to drive it. If special interests are the American public then they’ll have a say, but it’s the American public we’re going to.”

The guy is trying too hard. Time to Move On.
Must be an election coming up.
He’s a snake. He’ll say whatever he thinks needs to be said, but he is beholden to the deep state.
He knows what to say, and hasn’t a clue how to accomplish it.
the big business lobby is not going to be welcome back if and when Republicans are back in power.
“The guy is trying too hard. Time to Move On.”
Agreed.
out of more than 200 folks, we can’t get a different one?
Most busineses have a “Key Man” policy for continuitry, just in case.
It seesm Congress Critters expect to live (and re-elect) forever because the bench is always so shallow.
It’s pretty damned clear that McCarthy fears that, in the 2022 election, with the influx of new Republican Congresscritters who are NON-RINO and the exit of a number of current RINO Representatives, he will be in danger of being defeated as House Republican leader by a Freedom Caucus Republican.
Danger, Will Robertson. 🤗🤗
No; he thinks none of those things. As a member of the Uniparty in good standing, he’s just fine with the communists running the show.
He thinks you’re stupid.
Looking at how many Bush League Republicans who were re-elected in 2020, he’s not wrong.
At least the RINO flakes know what the base wants now. Thats some small progress.
Cheney’s and the establishment’s lapdog.
McCarthy is from California.
I think he’s responding to the rightward shift in the hispanic vote in california.
The reverse of this story happened back in the early 90’s. Back in the early 90’s democrat senator Harry Reid was hard against illegal immigration.
But when hispanic voting turned out for democrats later in that decade—and bill clinton pushed for open borders —harry reid shifted over to being an open borders guy.
Looks like Breitbart’s been eroded badly if they go along with McCarthy’s Kabuki theater.
He learned his snake habits from RYAN.
COC has been bad for a long time. I understand that TN. Gov. Lee was secretly colluding with them a couple years ago to bring in illegals.
Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.The RINOs have known all along what the base wants. That’s not enough to convert them to non-RINO; why else are they called RINOs after all.

WTF? To what, to where, and to what else?
