McCarthy delays swift passage of spending plan with record-breaking floor speech
By Cristina Marcos - 11/18/21 10:44 PM EST

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) delayed quick passage of Democrats' social spending and climate package late Thursday night by holding the floor for more than eight and a half hours in a record-breaking filibuster-style speech.

Three members of the House are allowed to speak for unlimited amounts of time during floor debate in what's known as a "magic minute": the speaker, majority leader and minority leader.

McCarthy used one of the few tools available to the House minority to delay proceedings by beginning his floor speech at 8:38 p.m. and continuing for more than eight hours.

During the first couple hours, Democrats repeatedly interrupted McCarthy's speech with jeers and yells to "vote!"

"It's okay. I'll be here a long time," McCarthy taunted Democrats. "I think I'm upsetting other people on the other side of the aisle by telling them what's in the bill. They just yelled at me that they're leaving."

[LMAO]

What needs to be put out there is exactly what’s in this bill. I would venture to guess that most people think it’s just simply to rebuild roads and bridges and tunnels.

Relying on the dinosaur media to do it  won’t work because they’re in the business of protecting Biden and the Democrats
