Kevin McCarthy wants to withhold federal funds from any state that does not protect statues from protesters. The Republican will offer a bill to give legal effect to his idea.

The House Minority Leader is reacting to recent protests following the death of George Floyd. Demonstrators have targeted several statues, particularly those depicting slaveholders and other racists.

McCarthy framed his bill as forcing states and cities to uphold the law.

“Whether it’s a monument of Abraham Lincoln freeing the slaves or four of our greatest, Democrats no longer view the richness of our country’s history worthy.”

Double down on that winning strategy, dumbass, and keep lying about Democrats. It's not even 10:00 a.m. and I can feel my blood pressure rising. Find. Kitten. Video. Now.

1. They can't muster up any concern for 130,000 dead Americans from a deadly pandemic,

but by God a few statues of Confederate assholes get torn down and they swoop into action.

2. No, because that is not important fo them . . .

3. Now THERE is the difference between Democrats and Republicans in a nutshell. Thanks, Kevin!

"Kevin McCarthy wants to withhold federal funds from any state that does not protect statues from protesters. The Republican will offer a bill to give legal effect to his idea."

Democrats, on the other hand prefer to give priority to protecting living people from deadly menaces, such as COVID-19 and homicidal cops.

I'd say the fundamental difference between the two parties is concisely stated, and in no uncertain terms, right there.

Thanks for the clarifiaction, Congressman, even if you ARE Republican scum!

5. Kevin has moved from criticizing Trump for being in Putin's pay to being a

full-time 100% Trump sycophant. Hope Lincoln Project gets around to him.

7. If it's OK for the feds to withhold $$ it's about time certain states withheld $$ to the feds. nt

8. Yeah, cause a statue of a dead traitor is far more

worthy of protections than kids who need food, or people who need a home, and universal healthcare.

If he's worried about our nation's history maybe be should crack open any primary school text book and read about our various enemies, foes and opponents instead of trying to canonize traitors and glorify treason.

Our history does not include any statues praising Mexican General Santa Ana, Hitler or Hirohito, not a single edifice stands in monumental regard to Chairman Mao or Pol. So why would find anything to praise about American traitors?

9. I expect McCarthy to propose that each Confederate statue be given $600 a week

in unemployment insurance...

Enjoy being in the minority for the rest of your miserable career, Kevin.
