Kevin McCarthy: Chamber of Commerce ‘Left’ Republican Party ‘A Long Time Ago,’ Not Welcome Back

Matthew Boyle 11 Jan 2022 Washington, DC

House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy told Breitbart News that the U.S. Chamber of Commerce has no place in the modern Republican Party and that the big business lobby is not going to be welcome back if and when Republicans are back in power.

McCarthy’s comments came during the latest On The Hill long-form video special, taped in December at an Eastern Market establishment on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC.

“The Chamber left the party a long time ago,” McCarthy said. “In the last election, the Chamber supported Democrats. The Chamber gave a higher score to Democrats who are voting for this policy because they signed some letter then voted the opposite of what the letter said than Kevin Brady who was chair of Ways and Means and brought us the tax cuts. I just assume they have as much influence in the future as they do now—none. Our responsibility is to the American public. That is who’s going to drive it. If special interests are the American public then they’ll have a say, but it’s the American public we’re going to.”

Big business is not automatically the friend of democracy (even republican representative democracy) nor of free market economies, as the likes of Facebook/Metavert, Google, et al should have demonstrated beyond any cavil.

The Chamber of Commerce does not, and never has, give one hoot in hell about anything other than extracting copious amounts of taxpayer $$$ into the pockets of it's members.

McCarthy is as duplicitous as other Republicans.  He'll say one thing to the public, another thing to donors, and he'll vote however the prevailing wind is blowing that day.

And promoting cheap labor.

I really wish RINO McCarthy would just STFU.

Bigun, indeed.
The GOP was the errand boy for New England Merchants from its start, having nothing to do w/ Principle.
Our Southern Agrarian Rural Democrats (sadly fatally tarred by Slavery) were our core Conservative Party of Principle.
But w/the passing of the likes of Jefferson, Madison and Monroe, they faded as the Federalists had before them.
