GOP Leader McCarthy: Pelosi’s ‘done more to dismantle our institutions and delay relief’ than help the American people

GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy isn’t letting House Speaker Nancy Pelosi off the hook for her hair fiasco earlier this month, or her continued partisan efforts to stifle relief for the American people proposed by President Donald Trump.

I agree, her sanctimonious actions really are doing more damage to the nation and doing little to help those most vulnerable both economically and physically affected by the COVID-19 outbreak. Moreover, the Democrats are fighting even harder and dividing the nation even further over Trump’s constitutional right to nominate Justice Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court to fill the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s seat.

For Democrats — and as it appears by the party’s actions — that the American people can take a back seat and make the sacrifices needed in the hopes that they will win back the White House.

It’s all about winning the election in November. It’s all about winning even if that means cutting off any assistance to the most needed and stifling programs that would work to elevate the economic hardships.

McCarthy’s statements about Pelosi are right on the money.

First, McCarthy noted that on Saturday it marked “the one-year anniversary since Speaker Pelosi launched the most partisan weakest impeachment in U.S. history.”

On Wednesday in response to Pelosi’s threats made on Sunday in an interview with ABC news to impeach President Trump was another affront to the nation.

McCarthy fought back hard saying to Pelosi “I will make you this one promise, listening to the speaker on television this weekend, if she tries to move for an impeachment based upon the president following the Constitution, I think there will be a move on the floor to no longer, or the question of her being speaker,” McCarthy (R-Calif.) told reporters on Capitol Hill on Wednesday.

“She may think she has a quiver — we do too,” he said.

Perhaps Nancy will want to do more to help [small businesses] and not just violate local orders so she can get her hair done, GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy

On Saturday, McCarthy reminded everyone that “it’s been almost two years since Nancy Pelosi took the gavel and Democrats have done more to dismantle our institutions and delay relief than they have to help the American people…And that trend continues.”

“Yesterday, House Democrats as advised by their leader speaker Pelosi blocked all relief for American small businesses,” said McCarthy.

He also jabbed at Pelosi’s hair fiasco earlier this month when security camera video surfaced showing her getting her hair done in San Francisco without her mask on, while all businesses were to remain closed.

“Perhaps Nancy will want to do more to help [small businesses] and not just violate local orders so she can get her hair done,” he added.

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. announced Tuesday that attorney and tech entrepreneur Nicole Shanahan will be his vice presidential running mate in the upcoming election. The Independent candidate announced his choice for the 38-year-old Oakland, California native by praising her insight into “how Big Tech uses AI to manipulate the public,” her athletic ability, and willingness to be a “partner” in a number of policy areas, including on securing the border.

Fox News writes that Shanahan is a philanthropist with a long history of donating to Democrat and left-leaning causes, including supporting President Biden in his 2020 election bid before switching to Kennedy when he launched his own run for the Democrat nomination last year.

She is the founder and president of Bia-Echo Foundation, a private firm that describes its mission as focused on “new frontiers in reproductive longevity & equality, criminal justice reform and a healthy & livable planet.”

Fox News reports Shanahan initially dropped her support for Kennedy after he decided to run as an independent, but later got behind him again by giving $4 million to the super PAC that boosted his candidacy with a John F. Kennedy-themed campaign ad that ran during the Super Bowl in February.

Shanahan also previously donated to Democrat presidential candidates Marianne Williamson and Pete Buttigieg during the 2020 presidential race, and threw more than $150,000 behind progressive Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascon’s 2020 election bid.

Shanahan, a life-long Democrat, told the crowd that she was leaving the party.

“The Democratic Party is supposed to be the party of compassion. It is supposed to be the party of free speech, and most importantly, the party of the middle class and the American dream,” Shanahan said.

“While I know many Democrats still abide by those values…I do believe they’ve lost their way in their leadership,” she continued.

And she urged “disillusioned” Democrats and Republicans to support Kennedy’s independent White House bid.
