'Can't Stand' McCarthy



Wajahat Ali @WajahatAli 2h
Imagine not applauding for "do something about gun violence." Kevin McCarthy just sitting there stone-cold dead. Amazing. It's a pro-death party. GOP members wore AR-15 lapels in Congress last week. #sotu2023

Gabe Fleisher @WakeUp2Politics 2h
Some Republicans, including Romney, stand to applaud the 50-year-low unemployment rate. McCarthy stays seated.

Kellie Meyer @KellieMeyerNews 2h
"Let's give public school teachers a raise." Doesn't get McCarthy to stand for applause.

Eric Woods @EricWoods 2h
OK @SpeakerMcCarthy didn’t stand up for LEAD-FREE drinking water. Are Republicans just committed to not standing up for anything?

Sanho Tree @SanhoTree 2h
Kevin McCarthy probably thought he was being clever when he refused to stand up or applaud going after junk fees and airline abuses.😂

Kevin McCarthy won’t stand to support giving hate no safe harbor.

John Harwood @JohnJHarwood 3h
Kevin McCarthy declined to stand when President Biden praised the resilience of American democracy

Teachers and school

Healthy people
Clean drinking water
People who aren’t straight and white

If he had a pencil to gnaw on, he would've nailed it.

Brutalize the guy with his back turned!

A bunch of half-witted roid-rage wannabes trying to outsmart a seasoned politician like Joe was a big mistake.
