Kevin McCarthy went on nationwide tv and lied about Hakeem Jeffries, so the House Democratic Leader referred to as him out.

Video:

Face The Nation performed a clip of McCarthy saying on Fox News Sunday, “I believe there’s going to be a lot of Democrats that may vote for it too. Right now the Democrats are very upset. The one factor instructed me Hakeem, there’s not one factor within the invoice for them, not one factor in the invoice for Democrats. “

Jeffries responded, “I have no idea what he’s talking about particularly, because I have not been able to review the actual legislative texts. All that we’ve reached is is an agreement in principle.”

Face The Nation’s Margaret Brennan requested, “Did you even talk to him?”

Jeffries answered, ” I talked to him yesterday afternoon.  I haven’t talked to him since that time limit. What I’ve constantly stated, nonetheless, privately and publicly, was that the acute MAGA Republican negotiating place and that, dream invoice that they’ve handed on April twenty sixth, the Default An America Act, contained nothing that was in line with democratic values or American values. It was unreasonable to suppose that that negotiating place goes to have the ability to end in a decision that will make sense for the American individuals when he understood and everybody understood {that a} bipartisan decision was the one means ahead to keep away from a catastrophic default.”

Jeffries hasn’t seen the legislative textual content or spoken to McCarthy for the reason that deal was reached, so Kevin McCarthy made up his quote from Hakeem Jeffries.

Kevin McCarthy lied. McCarthy additionally lied about there being nothing within the settlement for Democrats. Speaker McCarthy has to mislead promote this deal to his caucus as a result of his job is on the road.

If House Republicans determine what an epic cave job McCarthy pulled, they’ll launch a movement to vacate and will  boot him out of the speakership.

Kevin McCarthy lied and Hakeem Jeffries didn’t let him get away with it.
