White House calls on McCarthy to publicize details of deals with conservatives
The Hill ^ | 01/17/2023 | BRETT SAMUELS

The White House on Tuesday called on Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) to make public the details of any agreements he struck with conservative House members in exchange for their votes to win the Speakership.

Deputy White House press secretary Andrew Bates warned that the extent of the deals between McCarthy and the roughly 20 Republicans who initially opposed his bid for Speaker are not fully known, but that they could wreak havoc on the economy and key government programs.

“An unprecedented tax hike on the middle class and a national abortion ban are just a glimpse of the secret, backroom deals Speaker McCarthy made with extreme MAGA members to end this month’s chaotic elections and claim the gavel,” Bates said in a statement, which was first reported by Politico. “The few agreements we know about would fundamentally reshape our economy in a devastating way for working families and criminalize women for making their own health care decisions.

The gall of Democrats is psychotic level. They request this while the world is laughing at Biden and his classified document stashes.

My guess is the ‘librarian’ who keeps track of classified documents noticed Biden had many documents that needed to be returned - and that’s what started this whole mess. The problem won’t be with ‘what’s found’ it’ll be with the hundreds of classified documents that are missing - most dealing with China and Ukraine.

That would also explain why Biden was paying private lawyers a thousand bucks an hour to hunt for documents. Those traded to China and Ukraine will never be found.

The excuse? The excuse will be they were accidentally placed in burn bags in the haste and confusion of leaving the White House at the end of the Obama administration.(IMHO)

McCarthy should tack the Bill of Rights on Biden’s door.

“My guess is the ‘librarian’ who keeps track of classified documents noticed Biden had many documents that needed to be returned - and that’s what started this whole mess.”

That may have been how Trump got targeted, but Biden should have been targeted shortly thereafter if so.

Do the records indicate that Biden might have these documents, or were they planted to get him out of office?

Biden has been in federal government for about four decades and should know how to handle secret documents.

If Biden doesn’t want a federal tax hike, we won’t get a federal tax hike.

If McCarthy obeys, we know he should have been opposed to the bitter end and ANYONE who recommended him for SOH should be disregarded entirely.

If he ignores them or tells them to pound sand ... then carry on.

“extreme MAGA members”

They were simply doing what all 435 ‘representatives’ should have done.

I’m fine with publishing them.

It will help ensure their fulfillment.
