"We will always protect Medicare and Social Security" -- Kevin McCarthy (bookmark this)

McCarthy shrugs off a question about George Santos: "What I find is that voters have elected George Santos. If there is a concern he will go through ethics."

"H's got a long way to go to earn trust" -- Kevin McCarthy on George Santos

McCarthy says he sees no difference between Biden and Trump's handling of classified documents (Biden cooperated and volunteered information, Trump lied and obstructed)

"We'd look at it" -- McCarthy indicates he's open a resolution expunging Trump's impeachments and lies about the Russia investigation being "all a lie"

McCarthy doesn't guarantee that Republicans will provide the votes necessary to raise the debt ceiling

McCarthy floats the idea of a deal to raise the debt ceiling in exchange for a cap on spending

LOL -- McCarthy claims the difference between him and Pelosi is that he'll let Dems choose their committee members, but then a reporter immediately points out that he's not letting Swalwell and Schiff sit on certain committees. He responds by getting mad at the reporter.

I posted live clips from McCarthy's first news conference at Speaker using @SnapStream. If your company or org can benefit from posting videos like me, check out the link below for more information or to set up a demo.

@minimac1325 Republican Speaker McCarthy is lying. Republicans have been talking for decades about making cuts to Social Security and Medicare. They've put it in writing.

Repeal the corporate tax cuts and pay back the money you borrowed from social security then.

Wait! Its MY money! Every penny I contributed for years and years. Scrutinize your own damn money,not mine😠😡😱

McCarthy says they'll protect Social Security and Medicare "for the next generation going forward." What does that mean? Not the current generations receiving it?

We can bookmark it and call him a hypocrite when he does the very thing he says they won't do, and he/they will🤷.
