House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) finally seems ready to use some of the leverage he will soon have in the House.
It looks like he is getting ready to make a stand to protect our military members from Biden’s authoritarian rule regarding the vaccine mandate.
All I can say is that it is about time!
Has to Go
McCarthy recently addressed holding back on the NDAA funding unless Biden removes the mandate.
He stated, “We’re working through what is the [National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA)], the national defense bill, we will secure lifting that vaccine mandate on our military.
“Because what we’re finding is, they’re kicking out men and women that have been serving. … That’s the first victory of having a Republican majority, and we’d like to have more of those victories, and we should start moving those now.”
Maria Bartiromo of Fox News followed up, stating, “You’re saying in the NDAA, which we’ll drop next week, the vaccine mandate for the military will be lifted.”
McCarthy responded, “Yes, it will. Otherwise, the bill will not move.
“I’ve been very clear with the president. The president … worked with me on this.
“This is the first sign of having divided government, you got some compromise here.
“And we’ve got something that Republicans have been working very hard, and a number of Democrats, too, trying to find success.
“But one-party rule would never allow that to go forward. And now we’re going to have success.”
The White House responded, “Leader McCarthy raised this with the President, and the President told him he would consider it.
“The Secretary of Defense has recommended retaining the mandate, and the President supports his position.
“Discussions about the NDAA are ongoing.”
The line in the sand has been draw, so let’s see who blinks.
