House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy snapped back at a reporter after being asked why he was struggling to secure the necessary votes to become House majority leader.

House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy told reporters Wednesday lawmakers should punt the spending bill into January when a new Congress – where Republicans will assume control of the House – can craft the legislation.
"The Democrats have been in power. They've had the house, the Senate and the presidency, They did not do their work but they should not jam us now," McCarthy said. "Allow the American people what they said a month ago to change Washington as we know it today. We can't afford to continue to spend the way the Democrats have."

Yes, McCarthy you are on your own press conference. You have to understand that you can get some difficult questions. How long are you a politician? To difficult for you, huh!
Republicans never have to answer actual questions because Fox news gives them constant softballs. What a snowflake.
You should tell that to Biden
Too.
“How dare you ask why I’m an unpopular buffoon among my own party”
Get ‘yer trump tradin’ cards, Reich-here!
Said jb!!
He didn’t want to say “Trump is a cancer, and everything he touches goes to sh_t”
😂
false equivalency same old tired nonsense think of something new
I don’t think these people understand what an inappropriate question is, I personally find that question to be quite appropriate
like all the questions the Dems don’t answer lol
MTG!!!!
@ExteEriority: except what’s a “RINO?” MAGAs call sane conservatives like cheney and kinsinger “RINOs” and vice versa – which kind are you, that you’re saying this about mccarthy?
That’s probably because you lack the intelligence and attention span necessary to discern what is appropriate and inappropriate.
Subject: Avoiding Government Shutdown.
“Reporter”: asks question unrelated to subject.
Reatards: “I think it was an appropriate question even though it has nothing to do with the subject matter presented.”
Hit a nerve there spineless McCarthy 😂
Easy to hit a nerve on an invertebrate. 😂
Like most Leftist politicians
Dang he is acting just like Biden proves he is a Rino.
Not liking the question doesn’t make it inappropriate.
you’re right. bet he’d call your comment inappropriate, too.
Maybe he should have just called it what it was, a stupid question of zero worth!!
Makes you wonder when someone without a single principle wants to be a politician so bad..
@Patrick Walling aww did i hurt your maga deelings buttercup
@RusDaddy ha ha yes your opinion is so credible as you subscribe to stupider with crowder and project veritas a group who has been caught altering videos and paying people to lie run along little troll
So many dems, so little time!!
@Brupe Boring Well, he is obviously much brighter than you!!
@Patty Miller aww another triggered cult member do you need a safe space
He’s in Congress trying to become Congressional speaker with the former President’s support and he’s deeming that an inappropriate question?… He may not like the question but it’s a very relevant question. It goes to show so many of these people behave like absolute buffoons and children no matter how much power they have within these institutions. It’s embarrassing.
Yep
Try asking a democrat a question like that. They won’t answer it either, or they’ll deflect blame on the right. It’s only ok if the fascist left does it though, right?
The question literally everyone is asking. Both Right and Left….inappropriate? Wth
Chief of police, “I’m shocked…shocked! to see that gambling is going on here.” Casino mgr, “Your winnings sir.”
“Oh, yes, thank you.”
You know what is amazing to me? your still not in jail
Well said
Objection, relevance.
@mopthermopther “…the Germans wore grey, you wore blue”. Every line is perfect.
@Independent Man What is amazing to me, is that Pelosi and McConnell are not in Prison…..
McCarthy is offended by the question, because he knows he doesn’t have the necessary votes.😂😂😂😂😂😂
But he will get the votes because he will cave and meet everyone’s demands
😂😂😂🤦🏽♀️
They call that a inappropriate comment and yet they call Democrat sensitive😂⚰️
projection is the republican go to
@Brupe Boring oh please look at Kensington in phillie look at California Seattle chicago New York all dem cities are trash look up Kensington dem forever . I’ve never see To s of homeless I’ve bee as ll over my city . Every from here to texas never seen a nasty city . Look the dirtiest cities the worst ghettos all dem s
It was inappropriate in a sense that stupid democrat reporter doesn’t have any real questions to ask.
Exactly. Republicans have become the true snowflakes, in need of a safe space.
“How dare you state the only goal I currently care about in a setting where I might have to admit my own inability to achieve it.”
@Rere lol, now THAT was a spin if ever I’d heard one. The fact is, Republicans may have one the House, but they are FAR from showing any level of unity at this point.
@Rere Well,,,,,it’s NEVER GONNA WORK!!!
@AndrewDeLong They may be divided over a nomination, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t unified against Biden. You better hope Trump gets the ticket, because DeSantis is a serious threat to Biden.
@Rere …and in the process pointing out that the Freedom Caucus’ boat is basically sinking. That is a legitimate point to be made, given how much they hurt the GOP in mid term pickups.
desantis is a tool
Yea right mccarthy he’ll say anything to “Deflect” from answering the question
he’s a trump clone….
Kevin McCarthy must be too embarrassed to talk about him not getting enough votes
Turn your volume down and watch his smile literally melt on his face. What a joy to behold. 🍿
😂
I thought it was a good question. They hate the ones they can’t answer. 😅😅😅
How brave he is dodging questions.
McCarthy as speaker now would be the greatest gift to democrats for the 2024 elections.
@Aubrey Republican policy= hate *EVERYTHING.*
I certainly hope McCarthy is never Speaker but I sure hope it helps Dems in 2024 if he is. I’m sick of fascist MAGA conspiracy theorists destroying our democratic republic.
@david vickers Go back to level green or Trafford bro 😂 I thought your parents were conservative
@Johnnie McBride we aren’t a Democratic republic, we’re a constitutional republic that sought to get away from dictators and establish individual’s freedom’s. Not tryna be rude but do your research bro…….
@Teddy “ we won big with the poorly educated. “ we love the poorly educated. MEGA Republican Party
