McCarthy says he won’t give Democrats anything in exchange for support as Speaker
The Hill ^ | 10/03/2023 | SARAH FORTINSKY

Posted on 10/03/2023 8:23:06 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) said Tuesday that he would not give Democrats anything in exchange for their votes to help save his Speakership, after Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) moved to force a vote on ousting him.

“They haven’t asked for anything. I’m not going to provide anything,” McCarthy said in an interview on CNBC’s “Squawk Box.”

“Hakeem runs his conference,” McCarthy said of House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.). “He’s going to have a conference, and everybody’s going to talk about it, and I’m not going to put Hakeem in any position, and I respect whatever decision anybody makes.”

Except Ukraine funding and another CR in November that takes to December and then another one in December that takes us to March.

But other than full government funding, he’s not going to give the Democrats anything.

Who says he hasn't already cut one of his trademark "secret deals" with them?

“McCarthy says he won’t give Democrats anything in exchange for support as Speaker“

Well he’s given them 80% of what they wanted already so there is that.

McCarthy is such a liar. He already agreed with McConnell and Biden to provide Ukraine funding while lying to Republicans.

Well gee, if he hadn’t been giving Democrats everything they wanted, he wouldn’t have to defend his office.

He won’t give anything, but he will trade everything.

The Shape Shifters of Ukraine… Losing The Battle
Posted on October 3, 2023 by Helena

Excerpt:

“US claims its aide to Ukraine to be roughly $120 billion, the EU claims their contribution is $85 billion, and another $55 billion has been wracked up by other state actors. $260 billion dedicated, yet according to the World Bank where ALL funds must be laundered, only $38 billion was actually sent out. A discrepancy of $222 billion – 85% – lost in the melee.”

A promise from McCarthy is worth about as much as a beer fart in a whirlwind.

“They haven’t asked for anything. I’m not going to provide anything.”

Yeah, and the Brooklyn Bridge is still for sale. Does anybody believe that?
