Kevin McCarthy: ‘I Don’t Believe in the Theatrics of Tearing up Speeches’
Breitbart ^ | 02-07-2023 | HANNAH BLEAU

Posted on 02/07/2023 8:44:33 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) responded to questions on whether he would tear up President Biden’s State of the Union speech as former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) did to former President Trump in 2020, stating he does not believe in such “theatrics.”

“A lot of people have been asking if I’m planning on ripping up President Biden’s speech tonight. Here’s my answer,” McCarthy said on social media Tuesday morning, providing a clip of his answer.

“You know, I don’t believe in the theatrics of tearing up speeches. I respect the other side. I can disagree on policy, but I want to make sure this country is stronger, economically sound, energy independent, secure, and accountable,” the House speaker said:

A simple, “That would be illegal.” would suffice.

He’d be arrested for doing it. Pelousi ? Not so much.

Yes, the professional Republican politicians must keep polite decorum, while allowing the Communist Democrats to subvert our entire system, they've allowed them to infiltrated every government agency, they've turned public schools into predator safe zones, we're getting economically gang raped, we're close to WWIII, and they've looted the American treasure and are now using the FBI and other agencies as personal hired guns and muscle.

But please, lets keep up that polite professional demeanor!

BLAP!

Make a paper airplane and throw it from the Speaker’s chair at the end of the speech.

Ripping up Biden's speech.

My response would have been:

” I do not plan on ripping up the speech. I plan on reading it later to find out what the hell President Biden meant or was trying to say through all the incoherent blabber.”

Unlike McCarthy, I have NO — ZERO — ZIP respect for the subhuman excrement that is the ‘Rat party.

But I agree with him that tearing up the speech is a childish, unproductive stunt.

What I’m hoping for is loud outbursts at appropriate times from the conservatives in the chambers.

Let’s Go Brandon!

I respect the other side.

I got news for you Mr. Speaker. The other side wants us dead.

The Polls are only close because the Republicans did not have a Biden Resistance plan.

Spending orgy was attractive
