Proving that obstruction and bitterness at accomplishing nothing is their one trick pony, blow dried empty suit and lying coward House Minority Leader Kevin "Qevin" McCarthy held the House floor for hours, stalling the vote on the Build Back Better (BBB) legislation. The Associated Press has a description of the Trump butt sniffer's rant:
"Sneering with disdain one minute, spilling sarcasm the next, McCarthy carried on for more than eight hours as Thursday night became Friday morning. He spewed a tirade of grievances that reached far beyond Biden’s legislative package, morphing into a monologue of complaints over what’s wrong with the country and the Democrats who control Washington.
Far from the 'happy conservative' he claimed to be, the California Republican debuted a new role: angry heir to the Donald Trump legacy, picking up where the former president left off, mercilessly attacking his political opponents and their ideas with a ferocity that is rare even for the divided halls of Congress. The speech was a fact-checker’s bonanza."
A "fact-checker's bonanza" is a euphemism for "full of lies." This sack of power-hungry, conspiracy-embracing, authoritarian cynicism wants to be Speaker of the House so badly he has firmly attached himself to the former guy's large buttocks and detached himself from reality and decency.
With defeats this past week including the passage of the Biden infrastructure bill (with 13 Republicans abandoning Qevin) and the the censure of deranged loon Rep. Paul Gosar for his encouragement of violence against Rep. Ocasio-Cortez, it's understandable that Qevin is miffed and wants to show that he retains some male hormones that haven't already been surrendered to his cult leader. He'll fail, but Dems need to take a lesson from his rant: there's no middle ground with the likes of Qevin McCarthy and his Trumpist troops.

Kevin McCarthy has now shown more anger about making child care affordable than he has about the insurrection on January 6th. https://t.co/HNA5lyAlLv

I must admit Kevin McCarthy has accomplished one thing. America is no longer woke.

It is a feat of epic proportions to speak for four hours straight and not produce a single memorable phrase, original insight or even a joke.

McCarthy thinks he is a wit but so far he has proved he is only half right.
And Speaker Pelosi's jab at McCarthy's rant:

“I will be brief.”
House @SpeakerPelosi just wrapped up her comments on the floor in support for President Biden’s social services, and climate package.
