This is embarrassing! They want to get back to the bedroom and checking their off-shore accounts.

Colorado Republican Congresswoman Lauren Boebert revealed last night on Fox News that McCarthy could have already been sworn in as Speaker yet he refused a simple common-sense proposal from conservatives. This marks just another reminder that the Uniparty is completely responsible for this crisis.
She told Fox News “Special Report” host Bret Baier she had endeavored to create “unity” to forge a conservative agenda supported by America. She said she and two others presented some simple requests including a border security bill, term limits, and reducing the federal debt.
Yet the RINO squish rejected it all! Talk about shooting yourself in the foot.

Colorado Republican Congresswoman Lauren Boebert revealed last night on Fox News that McCarthy could have already been sworn in as Speaker yet he refused a simple common-sense proposal from conservatives. This marks just another reminder that the Uniparty is completely responsible for this crisis.
She told Fox News “Special Report” host Bret Baier she had endeavored to create “unity” to forge a conservative agenda supported by America. She said she and two others presented some simple requests including a border security bill, term limits, and reducing the federal debt.
Yet the RINO squish rejected it all! Talk about shooting yourself in the foot.
From the Daily Caller:
TRENDING: BREAKING: 4th US House Vote for Speaker - McCARTHY LOSES 4th VOTE AS CONSERVATIVES VOTE FOR BYRON DONALDS! ...20 Votes for Rep. Donalds
“I have been working for months behind the scenes to create unity,” Boebert told “Special Report” host Bret Baier. “Just last night two colleagues and myself walked into Kevin McCarthy’s office and presented him a very common sense proposal, a deal that got him 218 votes, the gavel on the first ballot and he smugly rejected that.”
“McCarthy failed to garner the 218 votes needed to become speaker in three ballots Tuesday, receiving 203 votes in the first two ballots, before Republican Rep. Byron Donalds of Florida switched his vote to Republican Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio on the third ballot, leaving the California Republican with 202. Democratic Rep. Hakeem Jeffries of New York secured 212 votes from Democrats in all three ballots.”
“It was very common-sense things like putting forward a border security bill. Putting forward a term limits bill. Having a measure in place where any member of Congress who offers an amendment to reduce the federal debt, well, that’s made in order,” Boebert continued.”
“Boebert disputed claims from other Republicans that the opposition to McCarthy was “petty.”
“I don’t think a secure border is petty. I don’t think a term limits bill being brought to the floor, not demanding to pass, but brought to the floor so we actually have an option to vote on that is petty,” Boebert said, adding that McCarthy failed to demonstrate a commitment to securing the border or balancing the federal budget.”
“We asked for the Republican Study Committee’s budget be put forward. This is a budget that balances in seven years, and Kevin McCarthy told us no,” Boebert claimed.”
...
This is why true conservatives will not yield to pressure from the Uniparty and the establishment conservative press including Fox News. They actually want to save America, put forth real solutions, and stop the Regimes’ radical agenda.
At the moment, they have the upper hand and McCarthy is panicking. Just hold the line and Uniparty will suffer a humiliating defeat.
fixed it
If true, then what’s left for him to do? Just ram through some omnibus bills that throw money everywhere?
Its good this is coming out and being exposed clearly.
I wouldnt even trust him to keep his word. Because I doubt he would.
“...RINO squish...”
LOL.
We don’t need no drama queen
SHE should be Speaker
Disappointing but not surprising.
I’m tapping Steve Scalise
Agree
She has a GED. This is what many FReepers want for our side.
Tits with a gun...
I guess they could caucus with the Dems and pick a speaker.
I don’t care for Boebert or Gaetz…but they are elected to represent their folks.
They are the new squad. Pelosi was able to control hers. The weak Republicans can’t control their’s.
” some simple requests including a border security bill, term limits, and reducing the federal debt.”
Problem is, only conservatives think those are “simple requests”. For everyone else, from both parties, those are “red lines”.
That’s the funniest thing I’ve read this morning.
.
If he releases the pictures of Lindsey and Luntz, that’ll be a good start.
.
I’d probably trust someone with a GED over a Harvard or Yale educated lawyer any day of the week.
Re: 7 - No, she knows she’s toast in 2024 given how close her election was in 2022. So she’s got nothing to lose in her approach now.
“I’m tapping Steve Scalise”
I’ll take Donalds. A conservative from Florida. Works for me.
Hmmm. Not the best choice of words …
