As expressed, Kevin McCarthy, the leader of the House Minority Party, seems to have left all this behind. As the name suggests, it is the floor of the House of Representatives.
As of 11:00 p.m. Eastern Time, in the House version of the obstruction bill, the McCarthy leader was still in front of the microphone, opposing Biden’s $5 trillion stupid saying “Rebuild better.”
The McCarthy leader announced that he would reveal the contents of the bill a few hours ago.
We are still a few minutes away from voting on the 2,145-page, $5 trillion bill. Never before in the history of the United States has it spent so much money.
I’m going to the House of Representatives to expose what this is → socialist spending scam. Watch here: https://t.co/JIr1mwGUVO

Almost two hours later, McCarthy was still pointing out the flaws in the bill.
But McCarthy is also talking about the past Republican presidents and the people and events that established the United States, which made America great and changed the course of our history for the better. The people and events that represent freedom, and how this huge piece of legislation opposes it.
Many conservatives and Republicans think this is a negligence that McCarthy leaders cannot stop 13 Republicans From standing on the side of Speaker Nancy Pelosi to voting on the $550 billion “bipartisan” infrastructure bill. If these Republicans don’t change jobs, the bill is likely to die on the floor.

After the embarrassing defect of his caucus, McCarthy seemed to have found the fire in his stomach. According to NBC News, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, is conducting a real-time fact check on the part of the bill he condemned (we define “fact check” in AP terminology here).
Pelosi’s office is verifying Kevin McCarthy’s remarks on the spot:
“During the grumpy period tonight, Minority Party Leader McCarthy did his best to avoid talking about the “Better Rebuild Act” to reduce deficits and combat inflation. But he did make illogical claims.”

Most Democrats joked, slandered and condemned McCarthy’s actions on Twitter.Other traditional media are posting tweets in real time, capturing McCarthy’s statements about past Republican presidents, such as Abraham Lincoln:
“Abraham Lincoln, if he were here today, he would tell you… he would say,’Be fearless when voting. Don’t blame others.”-Rep. Kevin McCarthy 11:10 pm
Not sure how long McCarthy will last, or whether his speech will touch more moderate Democrats (do they really exist?) to stifle the bill, but of course he chose to let Biden’s signature legislation completely surround him, which greatly eased It loses its weight—if not for its price tag.
If the bill passes tonight, no one will talk about its passage; they will talk about Kevin McCarthy’s long obstructive remarks.
