Can you say payoff? That’s exactly what it looks like happened to House Minority leader Kevin McCarthy, this week. The Republican spat in the face of MAGA supporters, telling reporters that Biden is unequivocally a legitimate president. McCarthy eluded to the reason behind his sudden change in tune later during questioning— but first, let’s get through the breakdown of what happened.
During a quick presser, McCarthy ignored the ongoing investigation against voter fraud in Arizona and told reporters that he doesn’t “think anybody is questioning the legitimacy of the presidential election,” and proceeded to discuss his “productive” meeting with the Biden administration over their infrastructure bill.
‘We are sitting with the president today,’ he continued. ‘From that point of view, I don’t think that’s a problem.’
But wait, there’s more…
McCarthy showed off how buddied-up to Biden he’s become by commending Biden’s work on the over-inflated infrastructure bill and fanned Biden’s ego by painting the career politician as a bipartisan figurehead.
When asked how he felt about Biden’s lack of response to real-world issues, like border security and the Israel-Hamas conflict, McCarthy deflected saying this garbage:
“What the president believes his role is, is to lead by example and to offer an alternative of leadership to the American people, which is reaching his hand across the aisle, offering to work with members of both parties on addressing issues the American people have concerns about.”
So what’s the motive? How about a fancy new job with more pay?
The last question McCarthy took from the media was, “Are you concerned about your future in leadership, given you protected [Liz] Cheney for so long, and missed earlier calls to remove her?” In response, McCarthy gloated, “Not at all. I’m looking forward to being Speaker in the next Congress.”
Is he saying that was predetermined during his meeting with Biden?

Let’s face it, McCarthy turned back in January but this just seals the deal for me. Biden’s “infrastructure” plan is not really about infrastructure, it is another multi-trillion dollar far-left wish list. Just take a look at the actual bill. Only 7% of the bill’s spending is for what Americans traditionally think of as infrastructure.
