Schumer calls out McCarthy for groveling to hard-right Republicans

Lawmakers remain deeply divided on a spending bill to fund the government with a shutdown just three days away. Right-wing Republicans in the House have pledged to oust Kevin McCarthy as House Speaker if he brings bipartisan legislation to the floor, but Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer says he should do it anyway. CBS News congressional correspondent Nikole Killion has more.

They should not be paid either! If they can not do their jobs in a timely manner/fashion they should not be paid until they can sort it out!

Kevin McCarthy has no integrity, and I don’t expect him to show any now’

"The evidence does not meet the standard." --- GOP star witness Prof John Turley, at the impeachment hearing.

Groveling, sniveling, toady, prostrated, feeble, wreched little worms covers it too.

Fund the Government! Republican Incompetence at its Finest

[jamesjackovich]

If it's tax breaks for billionaires, corporations and military spending it's ok to explode the debt. If not it's cuts to the poor, love that Republican montra

What will happen when it doesn't pass? Kevin needs to get serious now instead of hoping for the impossible.

[floydkizzie]

Both chambers are not at loggerheads. This is about MAGA and the cowardly "leaders" who are afraid of them.

[idazakin]

There was an agreed upon deal. What's this nonsense?

Kevie sold his soul for a portrait, now 😡 minions own him🏀🏀.

McCarthy will would have better luck pissing into the wind than he will in passing anything in the house.

[paulnason]

That’s exactly it. McCarthy won’t put the bipartisan bill from the Senate up for a vote because it will pass, and he cares more about his job than the American people.

[Zelp]

Shut it down. I want Mad Max to become a reality.

[eve]

This is what happens when you sell your soul to people like Matt Gaetz, Lauren Boebert and MTG.

[andrewstevenson]

What a Mickey Mouse way to run a government. (Please don't sue me, Disney.)

[PresidentEloniaMusk]

Like they say, "You can't spell hatred without 'red hat' ".

[shermigz]

This women is delusional. It is a big part that McCarthy wants to keep his power.

[ruthpullis]

In the beginning I was not for a government shutdown but after reading Kevin McCarthy's and Republicans 11-page bill online. Go for it give us a shutdown we don't want Kevin McCarthy's bills or Republicans bills to pass.

What happened to the deal that was agreed upon in June. All these repukes need to go. They abuse their positions as leaders. DISGUSTING.
