‘We Got Our Ass Kicked’: John Kennedy Laments Senate Republican Loss to Democrats on CHIPS, Reconciliation

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.”

You only showed the abortion issue. He wanted Biden to be President. You didn’t say what he disagreed with in this bill.

I think we need to call them "The Suicide Party", because they have traversed far beyond being just stupid when they assisted the theft of the 2020 election.

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.‘’

I listened to someone who read the entire bill the other day. He said only 5% of these chips and other hardware have to be built in this country and the vast majority of the 280 billion is a democrat wet dream.

Are they spamming the RNC Neanderthal donor base using “we got our ass kicked” to beg for more money yet?

[Lurkinanloomin]

Could not do it without Assistant Democrats.

And the Uni-Party and the Surrender Party.

[Truth29]

all the talk of a red wave assumes a competent gop, not either a stupid party or assistant democrat party.

They aren't stupid. The Senate RINO's have no problem with passing most of the Democrat agenda because they like big government as much as the Democrats do. The House isn't perfect, but most of the GOP problems lie in the Senate.

Behind Closed Doors, it’s one big club.

The Conservative\GOP voters are just as stupid!

“We Suck Less” is not a winning campaign strategy.

[dfwgator]

Garbage In Garbage Out.

It’s not just political, they have no opposition period!

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

The Washington Generals gets “pants-ed” mid court in front of a full crowd once again. What a surprise!

[dfwgator]

McConnell, the Senate majority leader

Did I miss something?

I got you the pic in #4.

[Sirius Lee]

LOL So you did. Perfect!

We need to apologize to the French for calling them surrender monkeys. We have surrender monkeys on a new level.

I’ve never trusted a dem, but when Tip O’neil reneged on Reagan’s amnesty deal the dems showed me to never trust them. Refusing to finance So.Vietnam was another kick in the teeth.
