McCarthy meets opposition from conservative Republicans on debt limit deal
Just the News ^ | 5/28/23 | Madeleine Hubbard

Posted on 05/28/2023 8:15:20 AM PDT by CFW

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) is facing intense opposition from conservative members of his own party over the tentative debt limit deal he reached with President Joe Biden.

Many congressional Republicans from the conservative Freedom Caucus have said they are against McCarthy's tentative deal he reached Saturday with Biden. A source close to House Republican leadership told Axios on Sunday that 60 conservative Republicans may not vote for the deal, which means McCarthy would need nearly that many Democrats to vote for the bill in the House, which has 222 Republicans and 213 Democrats.

A summary of the deal obtained by Just the News shows that it would roll back some spending while blocking new taxes, requiring student loan borrowers to start repaying their debts and imposing work requirements for some welfare and food stamp recipients.

I think McCarthy may have a hard time selling this "compromise" to conservative House members.

Chip Roy is already tweeting his opposition.

One already knows what the answer is, but one is gonna ax about it anyway.

What about those 87,000 new Border Patrol agents that haven't been funded yet?

Any word about how that's gonna happen?

“What about those 87,000 new Border Patrol agents that haven’t been funded yet?”


According to Chip Roy, they have to fund the IRS first:

“…The deal keeps full $80BB expansion of the IRS and the 87,000 employees it funds to target poor/minority 3-5x more – except for $1.9BB for this year…”

Take away all the Democrat pork spending! Few compromises. Starve the Democrats until they cave, and bring down Biden! It’s war! No more liberal spending on items we are forced to fund but detest.

As expected Kevin stabbed us in the back including the full funding of the armed IRS goons to terrorize the people who gave McCarthy the House.

Who was the other boy? Was there another viable candidate for Speaker? If the problem is The Speaker, well, that could be easily rectified. The republican House members could just vote the budget proposal down. But that’s not the problem is it. The problem is that the republican party is not a real party at all. After all we’ve seen, why are we still trying to pretend that it is?

The IRS gets about 97% of the huge Increase Biden wanted.


He got 97%!

And the Republicans held all the cards!

I wouldn’t let this Mofo negotiate with Car Max for a Yugo!

Kevin McCarthy does the bidding of his strange Deep State bedfellow Frank Luntz.

Did we really expect McCarthy to do anything else?

McCarthy will single handedly guarantee that we lose the House in 2024.

Where is the Motion to Vacate? Calling Matt Gaetz, was that just more empty talk?

Asking Jim Jordan how his investigation of Alvin Bragg is coming along? Looks like interfering with an election is ok.

Marjorie T. Greene has submitted 4 articles of impeachment, has any progress been made on those or will they just die of old age? Oh that’s right, McCarthy said “No Impeachments”.

The real joke is that we continue to vote for these people after they stabbed us in the back, how many times!

When there is opposition to a bill it usually means that some congressslugs are holding out for their lobbyist-requested pork on other bills.

It was a big f’en hint when McCarthy pledged Not to impeach crooked Joe.

They are happy with DC rules only applying to Republicans.

They want to Spend with Joe. There is no other takeaway.
