Kevin McCarthy spent hours on the House floor trying to force Democrats to pass Build Back Better in the dead of night, but Speaker Pelosi moved the vote.

Kevin McCarthy’s poorly thought out plan was to force Democrats to vote on the bill in the dead of night so that Republicans could run on Build Back Better as something evil and hidden. Those dastardly Democrats voted to give you a tax cut and lower the price of your prescription drugs at 4 AM is the sort of ominous ad that Republicans would make based on McCarthy’s stall tactics.

Pelosi and the Democrats want Build Back Better to be the top news story of the day on Friday. Kevin McCarthy actually did Democrats a favor by making sure that the passage of Build Back Better will happen in front of the nation.

1. She should make it early in the am, so McCarthy doesn't get much sleep

2. Ha ha! I like the way you think.

3. I wonder if no one has told him yet that she scheduled the vote for tomorrow.

4. That fucking idiot is STILL yammering.

He started at 8:30 EST. I was watching Blazing Saddles and keep going back to see if he has collapsed yet. No such luck. He is more ludicrous than my movie. What the hell is he talking about? Lincoln?!?

5. Unfortunately, that's not the way it will be spun...

Instead, the lede everywhere will be that the Democrats (in disarray, as usual) once again failed to pass BBB when they said they were going to, and were sidetracked by McCarthy’s “star-making performance.”

9. He is SO outclassed by her it's almost unfathomable.

[Zorro]

10. Such a whiny voice

His strategy must be to grate on the nerves of every listener so much that the Democrats give up on BBB just to get him to shut up.

14. When Nancy speaks today she should start off with this..

“I would first like to congratulate the minority leader on spewing the greatest number of lies in one speech in the the history of the House of Representatives. We should consider erecting a statue somewhere in honor of this historic absurd event”.
