McCarthy Purposely Screwed Over Conservatives | 5/31/23

Kevin McCarthy didn’t get outmaneuvered by Joe Biden. I review the provisions of the debt ceiling betrayal bill to show how each one was deviously crafted to give the impression of a conservative victory, but actually makes us worse off than we’d be under a clean, short-term debt limit increase. We’re joined by Rep. Dan Bishop, who is calling for a motion to vacate the chair. He warns that McCarthy’s behavior demonstrates he will get worse from here and screw us on other fights as well. He also says that McCarthy purposely extended the debt limit increase an extra year when Democrats weren’t even asking for it. Why? He fears the debt limit deadline even more than Biden and wanted to make sure he was never put into a position where he’d have to fight for conservatives again.
