‘We Got Our Ass Kicked’: John Kennedy Laments Senate Republican Loss to Democrats on CHIPS, Reconciliation
Breitbart News ^ | 7/29/22 | Sean Moran

Posted on 07/29/2022 10:11:31 AM PDT by AnthonySoprano

Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) said on Thursday that Senate Republicans got tricked into passing a semiconductor bill after believing that a Democrat reconciliation bill was dead.

(snip) The same day that the Senate passed the CHIPS bill, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) announced a deal on the Inflation Reduction Act, a bill that would aim to reduce the deficit, raise taxes, and boost climate change and Obamacare spending.

Announcing the deal immediately after Senate Republicans backed the CHIPS bill left many GOP lawmakers with egg on their faces.

We got our ass kicked. It’s just that simple. Looks to me like we got rinky-doo’d. That’s a Louisiana word for ‘screwed.’ And we got our ass kicked. That’s the way my people back home see it,” Kennedy said.

Asked if he had played McConnell, the Senate majority leader said, “We’re just doing what we have to do.”

McConnell also lost to Schumer on a debt ceiling fight in 2021, which led to a debt to temporarily create a carveout for the legislative filibuster. One former senior GOP aide said the deal was to save McConnell’s “ego.”

Generally, when the Pubbies claim they were tricked by the Dems that is a cover for their having strategicallyand covertly rolled over as part of the uniparty.

(Some backbenchers of course never know what is going on.)

They want to get Pence elected now.

Or, rather, get Pence to lose gracefully.

Pure BS , They Knew .
All Recon bills have to be preapproved by the
Senatarian that both sides are
notified about .

Mitchy and Gope Want this Recon To be pushed Thru .

They could kill it by stating
All Judge nomination will be killed in committee until 2024 .

But Mitchy wants to be a nice Chinese CCP puppet .
Not hard ball ..

All a charade

This is a tax on people who aren't born yet.

Who could be against that?

They will be the ones to hit the brick wall.

John Kennedy lies without flinching.

The Republican half of the Uniparty is acting on a Kabuki stage with the Democrat half of the Uniparty just as they conspired to steal the election of 2020 from the voters.
