You’ve got to make your own fun when sitting through an eight-and-a-half-hour speech from Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA). The speech, the longest ever delivered from the House floor, delayed passage of Democrats’ social spending and climate package, who responded by ridiculing the House minority leader. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) clearly had enough just one hour into the speech. Introducing her Instagram coverage, she said: “Live, from the cloakroom of the U.S. House of Representatives, one of the worst, lowest-quality speeches I have ever had the absolute atrocious lack of privilege to witness.” She noted that every Republican flanking McCarthy was a white man, telling viewers: “Look at those different color ties and haircuts! I’ve never seen a more diverse Republican Party.” Then, sitting down with Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), AOC noted McCarthy’s poor vocabulary, saying: “If you’re going to be evil, you might as well be an evil genius, not an evil...” Raskin interjected: “Imbecile!” AOC agreed: “Imbecile. At least give us some pizzazz with the undercutting of social safety nets.” McCarthy went on to speak for seven more hours.

7. Can we please just be censured instead??? Please?

It would be less painful!

Go Rep. Raskin! He's on a roll!

3. I could point out that they both voted the same way

On the Infrastructure bill, but that would be a cheap shot.

[JohnSJ]

4. but sadly accurate

[jimfields33]

5. Wow. You are correct. Lol.

[Cetacea]

6. I could point out that they did only because the votes were there for passage

And that yea, it was a cheap shot.

9. Don't be cheap.

[jcgoldie]

11. It would also be completely disingenuous

But you be you.

[Politicub]

15. But that would mean you're trying to stir up trouble.

Since you’re really mature, I’m sure you would never do something like that.

[Tomconroy]

16. I'd probably do it. But not this morning.

8. With any luck, he'll wake with bronchitis and will need to order more 8-hour speech Depends.

10. Nobody told McCarthy the House doesn't have a filibuster?

Good job delaying it by 8 hours but not stopping it.

[turbinetree]

13. And the word for today is EMBICILE....also known as Kevin McCarthy...

didn't his leader do the same thing......must have the same acting /speech coach....

14. I went to college with a guy that had the same name.

That really has to suck on a higher plane.
