McCarthy to House Republicans: 'Cut this crap out’ and stop infighting
2021-01-28
[CBS] House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy warned his members to stop the public bickering within the conference if they want to effectively push back on the Biden administration and win back the majority in 2022, a congressional aide tells CBS News.

His blunt message to his colleagues on Wednesday's phone call: "Cut this crap out."

The warning comes as several members within the conference are organizing an effort to oust the number three House Republican, Wyoming Representative Liz Cheney, from her position as conference chairwoman. Cheney voted to impeach then-President Trump and angered many Republicans by releasing a statement the day before her vote outlining her position — which was later quoted by several House Democrats during the floor debate.

#10  JohnQC, how many of those senators are up for re-election in 2022?

Trump should spend a bit of time/effort supporting their opposition in the primaries.

#9  Same as on SCOTUS. Kagen/Sotomayor/Breyer are lockstep

#8  I got to say the Dems policies suck bigly. They are anti-American.

#7  I'd say the Pubs have a few problems. There names are:

HOUSE

Jaime Herrera Beutler of Washington, John Katko of New York, Adam Kinzinger of Illinois, Peter Meijer of Michigan, Dan Newhouse of Washington, Tom Rice of South Carolina, Fred Upton of Michigan, David Valadao of California

SENATE.
Republican Sens. Mitt Romney of Utah, Susan Collins of Maine, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Ben Sasse of Nebraska and Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania.

Toss in Senator Mitch McConnell, Kentucky and the Pubs have a RINO problem. We know who the Dems are. We know they are consistent in presenting a unified bloc. The RINOS are unpredictable and are likely to stab you in the back. Trump knows, he campaigned for some of them.

There may be a few more that aren't included in the list.

#6  #5 Whips are MPs or Members of the House of Lords appointed by each party in Parliament to help organise their party's contribution to parliamentary business. One of their responsibilities is making sure the maximum number of their party members vote, and vote the way their party wants.

#5  Kevin, it's called party discipline. Democrats are very, very good at it and that's one reason why they now control Congress. You should try it some time. As the English might say, "Put a bit of stick about."
