Key House GOP promise has been exposed as the 'biggest fraud'

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) this week unveiled a proposal to raise the debt ceiling in exchange for significant spending cuts, and Punchbowl News reporter Jake Sherman argues that it has exposed one of House Republicans' most egregious broken promises.

-snip-

"The biggest fraud in the House GOP this year is that the opponents to McCarthy for speaker wanted regular order and single subject bills," he writes. "Zero regular order on this massive debt limit bill. Filled up w everything from energy policy to fiscal policy to student loans."

What's more, Sherman argues that most people in the Republican caucus knew all along that this promise would never come to pass.

"At the time, most people understood it was a sham and they were doing it because they didn’t like McCarthy and wanted power," he argues. "Now that is all self-evident as they load up a debt limit bill with everything under the sun and bypass committee process completely."

They got no platform, no respect, no souls - just lies, hate, and lust projection for more bucks as grifters and cons. Deplorable, despicable, and demonic!
