R's Posting Their L's in Leadership Positions: GOP "Leader" Kevin McCarthy Defends 13 Defectors That Supported Biden's Pork-Heavy, Social-Spending-Heavy Fake Infrastructure Bill; Claims That Paul Gosar's Posting of a Meme Is Just as Bad

Headline suggestion from Seems Legit.

What.

Is.

The Point.

Of voting for this party.

Chip Roy makes that exact point. He demands that McCarthy explain to him how he can make the case to his voters to vote Republican, when Republicans vote with the Democrats every. single. time.

And the leadership defends them. Every. Single. Time.

NEW: During a closed door party meeting, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy urged Republicans to stick together as some in the conference vow retaliation against the 13 Rs who voted for infrastructure, saying now isn’t the time to go after fellow members, per sources in room.

McCarthy also told members he talked to Gosar about his anime video depicting violence against Dems & he took the vid down.

It was an anime featuring a cartoon super samurai hitting a giant kaiju with AOC's face in the neck with a blade.

He retweeted it.

This is the CNN wrestling video all over again, and Kevin McCarthy is, again, taking the CNN side of the "controversy."

Re: My description of the clip:

I'm confused. I thought it was an Attack on Titan parody? (Season 1 has the best anime opening song, IMO.) Posted by: Pooky's Girl

it was, did I describe it wrong? I don't know anime. I didn't see the clip because it's CENSORED because it's SO TRIGGERING and INCITING TO VIOLENCE. I am going by vague verbal descriptions, which are also CENSORED due to being LITERALLY VIOLENCE.

He pointed out Dems havent punished their own members like Maxine Waters, who said "we've got to get more confrontational" about police brutality.

Gosar also got up at the mics to try to explain his anime video and said a threat of violence was not his intention, sources said.

No it was a dumb thing he retweeted from a supporter that meant nothing except "Yay Paul, you get that AOC!"

And everyone knows this, including the leftwing propagandists who claim Your Speech Is Violence And I Feel Unsafe.

MORE NEWS from GOP meeting: Rep. Chip Roy and McCarthy got into a heated exchange, per source.

Roy lamented that he has to now go back to his district and explain why people should bother voting Republican when they handed a victory to Dems, and argued leadership should act.

McCarthy then got up and shot back that he's had to explain to voters many times votes that Roy has taken.

Roy pressed McCarthy to name which votes he was taking about -- "Really?" said Roy -- but McCarthy didn't name any, the source said.

But the GOP will do nothing about this, because it's not a conservative party. It's an Alternate Democrat Party.

Rep. Brian Babin tells me people are really "mad" and "upset" that Republicans didn't stay unified in opposition to the infrastructure bill and is considering supporting this resolution.

Rep. Jim Jordan, a McCarthy ally, says there "ought to be a discussion" about it.

Rep. Ralph Norman, a freedom caucus member, tells me "the time is right" to pursue punishment against Katko.

But several Rs -- including some that opposed infra -- did stand up during meeting to defend the infrastructure Rs, saying everyone has a right to vote their districts.

Katko is the ranking member on the Homeland Security Committee. I'm sure he's not doing business with the Democrats on Russiagate stuff at all. And I'm sure he's a real Border Hawk.

Breitbart explains what a leftwing disaster this bill is.

Despite its moniker as a "bipartisan infrastructure bill," the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act contains no conservative victories but has many leftist carveouts.

...

Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN), the Republican Study Committee (RSC) chairman, noted that only $110 billion of the $1.2 trillion in spending would fund roads, bridges, and other projects that most Americans would consider infrastructure.

The bill would fix "racism physically built into some of our highways," as Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg has claimed.

...

The bipartisan infrastructure would also advance leftist priorities:

Defines "gender identity" as a protected class.

Doles out "digital equity" grants partly based on racial or ethnic minority status.

State-mandated carbon reduction program

Contains funding for "zero-emission vehicles"

Addresses "over-the-road bus tolling equity"

Contains the word "equity" 64 times

Provides roughly $2.5 billion to help the U.S. government expand the border processing stations used by migrants from poor Central American nations and other regions around the world.

Contains a $10 million grant to create a Vehicle Miles Travelled Tax (VMT) Pilot program, which many conservatives argue could lead to a permanent VMT tax.

A $1 million per state grant to encourage children to walk to school.

That's the only one I don't mind: everyone should walk more.

But what does that have to do with infrastructure?

Thank you, RINOs!

And thank you, McCarthy, for defending them!

Meanwhile: Both Liz Cheney and John Katko are proud to be called RINOs.

Democrat-aligned Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) and Rep. John Katko (R-NY) on Monday celebrated being publicly called "RINOs."

According to a Bloomberg reporter, Cheney and Katko passed one another outside the House chamber. Cheney shouted at Katko, "Hey, it's the RINO!"

"Takes one to know one," Katko replied, acknowledging their political opposition to American First Republicanism.
