The MAGA base is furious with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy over his deal with Joe Biden to raise the debt ceiling. The debt ceiling deal allows trillions of dollars of spending and the Biden Administration to expand the IRS. McCarthy is attempting to claim victory by saying that Biden cannot hire as many IRS agents. McCarthy’s victory claims are only alienating the base further.
After receiving hours of criticism, Speaker McCarthy attempted to claim victory again by tweeting, “President Biden claimed he’d never negotiate. Leader Schumer insisted there’d be a “clean” debt increase. They were wrong. Republicans fought to spend less, block Biden’s new tax proposals, claw back unspent COVID money, and fully fund our veterans and defense priorities.”

They were wrong.

McCarthy’s tweet did not sit well with the base as hundreds of users replied to the tweet calling for the Speaker to resign.
Kevin, you don’t have the stomach for politics. You get consistently played.

Major Twitter accounts that support Trump called for McCarthy to step down. Catturd, whose Twitter polls have been shared by Trump, tweeted, “I correctly predicted what McCarthy would do in his first 6 months, step by step, on our podcast … 1) To get Speaker votes – McCarthy would pretend to be more conservative than George Washington. 2) Next step – pass a bunch or DOA bills that could never pass the Senate or get signed by Biden … then claim victory. 3) Next step … make a bunch of promises that he never was going to keep … like releasing the Jan 6 footage to the public. 4) Next step … cave on the debt ceiling and become the same sellout RINO he’s been his entire career. There will be no impeachments. There will be no real pushback. The Republican Party is totally useless.”
I corrected predicted what McCarthy would do in his first 6 months, step by step, on our podcast …
1) To get Speaker votes – McCarthy would pretend to be more conservative than George Washington.
