Because the clip goes on, McCarthy tries it once more and Raju factors out that Republicans can’t even go support to Israel.
That is actuality, and that is how the media must be dealing with Republican makes an attempt to deflect blame for their very own dysfunction.
For much too lengthy, the media has chosen in charge Democrats for the actions of Republicans, as if Democrats are being paid to run some form of Congressional nursery faculty as a substitute of being paid to do the work of The Individuals.
Right here’s David Gregory doing that old style fashion of journalism the place every thing is the fault of Democrats:
“How lengthy are Democrats going to face by on the planet of id politics, and zero-sum politics, and never be a part of any answer?”

Democrats usually are not in cost, which is why they’ll’t management the Home to place it so as. Democrats simply saved Republicans on the federal government funding cliff that the GOP drove the Home to for no cause. However Democrats usually are not in Congress to avoid wasting Kevin McCarthy or the Republican caucus from themselves.
David Gregory was doing that previous DC knee jerk of blaming Democrats for Republicans, however his criticism is empty and pathetic, as a result of Democrats JUST saved Republicans per week plus in the past. Democrats aren’t taking part in a zero sum recreation.
The individuals taking part in the zero sum recreation are within the Republican Occasion, which is attempting to question President Biden over fiction and nonetheless denies that January sixth was a terrorist assault as Director Wray stated it was and plenty of of whom nonetheless declare Trump gained the 2020 election.
The American public is sick and uninterested in the “each side” “he stated she stated” fashion of reporting that received us the place we’re in the present day, and does a lot to allow these keen to take advantage of it and people who face no penalties inside their very own caucus and again house for mendacity. By and enormous, these individuals are within the Republican Occasion.
