Joe Biden Says He Flashed Veto Pen at Kevin McCarthy During White House Meeting
Breitbart, Dec 5, 2022

President Joe Biden tried to send a signal to House Republicans during a White House meeting on Tuesday, warning them he could veto any bill he wanted to.

Biden revealed details of the meeting with House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy and other Congressional leaders during a fundraiser in Boston on Friday. McCarthy may lead the new Congress as speaker after Republicans won the majority in the House of Representatives in the midterm elections.

“They were telling me what they could do, what they were going to do. And I said, ‘Yeah,'” Biden recalled, demonstrating that he responded to McCarthy by lifting up his pen and showing it to the room.

"They said, ‘What are you doing?’ I said, ‘A pen. Veto,'” he said.

The president told Democrat donors his veto pen could “stop bad things” but admitted that “it can’t start them.”

Biden made his remarks at a fundraiser for Democrat Senator Raphael Warnock who faces a run-off election with Republican candidate Hershel Walker on Tuesday

Did McCarthy have any response, or did he just sit there like a scolded school boy?

I'm afraid I would have held up a single finger and, no, not Mr. Pointer Finger.

I may have been tempted to whisper into Joe's ear E.S.A.D.
