"They said work requirements were a red line. They said they'd never do anything on IRS agents. They didn't want to give up the COVID money. Now, the Democrats are on record doing things they never said they would do," says @SpeakerMcCarthy on the bipartisan debt deal.
@SquawkCNBC @SpeakerMcCarthy Very glad they comprised, but the Republicans lost big time as spending was not significantly cut and Biden’s agenda hardly affected
Great interview @JoeSquawk Due to his continued support of Herr Trump I have not been a fan of @SpeakerMcCarthy and I left the GOP on January 7th. But I must say his actions / strategy on the Debt Ceiling deal were impressive. Further, his comments today were the most sane and sensible from any GOP member in several years. As he said, I want to show people that we can govern. I am cautiously optimistic and I encourage others to open their minds to more bipartisan efforts in the future. Trump and @RonDeSantis must go though before the GOP is truly viable.
@SquawkCNBC @SpeakerMcCarthy We got a lot in this bill. I am tired of radicals opposing everyting that does not give them everything they want just to virtue signal, and we end up getting nothing. We got a lot in this bill. It's much BETTER than nothing and pretending we are strong.
The work requirements are weak and will actually increase the number of people eligible for welfare. The IRS provisions are completely fake and do nothing to stop the IRS from expanding. The COVID money clawback are mostly rescissions that will later go to fund other work nonsense. McCarthy and the GOP got rolled by Biden.
@SquawkCNBC @SpeakerMcCarthy @JoeSquawk New respect for @SpeakerMcCarthy. Very nice job articulating his case in this interview and with getting the deal through.
@SquawkCNBC @SpeakerMcCarthy If you have to keep doing TV to get the public on your side you already know you screws up!
@SquawkCNBC @SpeakerMcCarthy It's called compromise. Now if you really want to cut the debt let's think about bringing in more money
@SquawkCNBC @SpeakerMcCarthy RESIGN TODAY TRAITOR
@SquawkCNBC @SpeakerMcCarthy Someone please tell this man he was played.....
