‘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.”

. Not to mention the Republicans running to pass a Gun Bill for Joe Biden while not even mentioning that Hunter Biden schemed the current Gun Regs, and there was no punishment!

The RINOs are mating.

The GOP Senate Protected Joe and his Foreign Cash business for 1,460 days, running interference for Joe, James, and Hunter.

They wanted Joe as President.

Sorry, but what does Mitch disagree with the Dems on besides a few green energy policies? There still won’t be any movement to get rid of Mitch.

“House Judiciary Committee ranking member Jim Jordan (R-OH) said that Senate Republicans who work with Democrats on Biden priorities are “wrong.” He added, “I wish they wouldn’t.”

While not directly attacking McConnell, Jordan praised McCarthy for being on the “side of the American people” and noted that there has been tremendous “pushback” on the Senate GOP-backed gun control bill.“

So what else is new? The RATS have been kicking RINO ass for years. Because of that, the RINOS and other gutless GOOBers have been joining the RATS.

As long as we keep re-electing Mitch’s bitches, there will be no new leadership.

Ever since Clinton reneged on that deal with Delay I haven’t trusted the Dems. The ink was not even dry before Clinton came out and said he was nixing on the second part of the deal.

It’s a good example of who and how many get a slice of the pie you can wager China with the CHIPS reconciliation bill will get the biggest slice.

Their bonus round is they will raise taxes a wet dream come true for them.

Never trust a democrat or a Rino.

They gave Chuck and Nancy the benefit of the doubt here, too.


Because they want to help along the Jan 6th Committee
