McCarthy sells out on bogus impeachment inquiry and gets nothing for his effort, because he's dealing with crooks and liars.
September 12, 2023

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy gave the chaos crew everything they wanted, and they're still dragging him. Of course, Rep. Rapey McForehead's rant on the House floor is littered with lies. He has nothing to back his claims up.

"We demand real oversight against this weaponized government. Just look at the bribery," he falsely said. "If tens of millions of dollars flowing from foreign corrupt people into the bank accounts of the Biden family wasn't enough for actual impeachment, why were we even looking?"

"Joe Biden deserves impeachment for converting the presidency into an a.t.m. machine for virtually his entire family," he continued. "We all see it, we all know it. Moments ago, Speaker McCarthy endorsed an impeachment inquiry. This is a baby step following weeks of pressure from House conservatives to do more. We must move faster."

"Now, I will concede that the votes I have called for will likely fail. Term limits, balanced budgets, maybe even impeachment," he said. "I am prepared for that eventuality because at least if we take votes, the American people get to see who is fighting for them and who is willing to tolerate more corruption and business as usual."

"Mr. Speaker, dust off our written January agreement. You have a copy. Reflect on the spirit of that agreement and build on the start that we had moments ago," he continued. "Begin to comply. No continuing resolutions, individual spending bills, or bust. Votes on balanced budgets and term limits."

"Subpoenas for Hunter Biden and the members of the Biden family who have been gristing off of this country -- grifting off of this country and the impeachment for Joe Biden that he so richly deserves," he added. "Do these things or face a motion to vacate the chair. Let me
alert the country. A motion to vacate might not pass at first. but it might before the 15th vote. And if Democrats bail out McCarthy, as they may do, then I will lead the resistance to this uni- party and the Biden-mccarthy-jeffries government that they are attempting to build. I know that Washington isn't a town where people are known for keeping their word. Well, Speaker McCarthy, I'm here to hold you to yours. I yield back."

Matt needs to look into that sweet $2 billion deal Jared and Ivanka got from the Bonesaw Saudi prince, and then we'll take him seriously. Or maybe not. What a shitshow. I feel like Gaetz gets his "facts" from 4Chan.
