Today is a good day to remember that on January 20, 2009 (inauguration day) Paul Ryan, Kevin McCarthy & other GOP House Leaders & GOP Senators plotted to sabotage the US Economy along with failed candidate for President, Newt Gingrich, and GOP Propaganda Minister Frank Luntz.
Also, today is a good day to remember that in June 15, 2016, Paul Ryan, Kevin McCarthy, Steve Scalise, and Cathy McMorris Rogers plotted to conceal Kevin McCarthy’s suspicion that “Russia hacked the DNC.” McCarthy went on to acknowledge (& hide from The People) his suspicion that Trump coordinates with Putin: “Putin pays Trump and Rohrabacher … Swear to God.”
And, today is a good day to remember that on September 29, 2015, Kevin McCarthy admitted the GOP investigation Benghazi was purely political. McCarthy admitted to Sean Hannity that the GOP’s sole goal to tarnish Hillary Clinton’s reputation. Period. (See Transcript below). After McCarthy told Hannity the Benghazi investigations were solely political, he dropped out of the running to be Speaker of the House.
Many outlets reporting Kevin McCarthy will seek Paul Ryan’s position as Speaker of the House if the GOP maintain control of the House. So, it is very important all Americans remember who & what Kevin McCarthy is.
In reverse chronological order:
2016:
June 9, 2016: Don Trump Jr, Jared Kushner, & Paul Manafort hold secret meeting with Putin’s people in order to receive Russian “high level and sensitive information” as “part of Russia and its government’s support for Mr. Trump.”
June 14, 2016: Washington Post reports that “Russia hacked the DNC.”
June 15, 2016: Kevin McCarthy tells: Paul Ryan, Steve Scalise, Kathy McMorris Rogers, and Patrick McHenry that: “Russia hacked the DNC”… “I think Putin pays Rohrabacher and Trump, swear to God!”
At Paul Ryan’s urging, everyone in the June 15, 2016 meeting conspires and agrees to keep Kevin McCarthy’s suspicions about Putin, Trump, & Rohrabacher hidden from The People … cuz you know, “family.”
What does all that tell you about: Paul Ryan, Kevin McCarthy, Steve Scalise, Kathy McMorris Rogers, and Patrick McHenry?
I would be remiss if I did not mention here that every single one of those people: Paul Ryan, Kevin McCarthy, Steve Scalise, Kathy McMorris Rogers, and Patrick McHenry, have all enabled Devin Nunes to obstruct justice in Mueller’s investigation.
2015:
In September 2015, Kevin McCarthy was candidate for Speaker of the House. On September 29, 2015, Kevin McCarthy admitted to Sean Hannity that all those Congressional Benghazi investigations was solely done for political reasons. Period. Nothing to do with Benghazi but everything to do with politics and tarnish Hillary Clinton’s reputation.
McCarthy: "… I think you really want to ask me is, how am I going to be different [as Speaker of the House]."
Hannity: "I love how you asked my questions. But go ahead, that is one of my questions. Go right ahead."
McCarthy: :”...let me give you one example. Everybody thought Hillary Clinton was unbeatable, right? But we put together a Benghazi special committee, a select committee. What are her numbers today? Her numbers are dropping. Why? Because she's un-trustable. But no one would have known any of that had happened had we not fought and made that happen."
Hannity: "I agree. I give you credit for that. I give you credit for sequestration, I'll give you credit where credit is due. But here's what every conservative wants to know. Are you willing to defund Obamacare and use your constitutional authority? Are you willing to use the power of the purse to defund Planned Parenthood? Will you use the power of the purse to stop the power grab of this president [Obama] through the use of executive amnesty, ignoring our laws and our constitution? If you're speaker, will you go into your conference and say, this is what we should do, we need to unite together?"
McCarthy: "I will unite them and, yes, we'll do it. But you know what. We're not going to do it when we have one day. This is what we're going to do, Sean, and we're not going to be able to do it alone. We're going to put a strategy today just as we do a select committee on Planned Parenthood. So we go out across the country and they see — the president won't even watch those videos. The Democrats won't watch those videos. We need America to watch those videos. And you know what, we need your help as well. We need to come together, okay?"
Kevin McCarthy dropped out of his bid for Speaker of the House after he caught heat from GOP for saying out-loud what everyone knew. The Washington Post reported:
McCarthy’s candidacy to succeed the retiring Boehner (R-Ohio) was damaged in recent days by a public gaffe — a television interview in which he seemed to suggest that the Select Committee on Benghazi, the panel assembled by Republicans to investigate the 2012 attacks on U.S. facilities in Libya, was intended to damage Hillary Rodham Clinton’s presidential poll numbers.
2009
Now I’m going to flashback to inauguration night, January 20, 2009: Paul Ryan Kevin McCarthy & other GOP House Leaders & GOP Senators plotted to sabotage the US Economy along with failed candidate for President, Newt Gingrich, and GOP Propaganda Minister Frank Luntz.
January 20, 2009:
FACT 1. In Robert Draper's book, "Do Not Ask What Good We Do: Inside the U.S. House of Representatives" Draper wrote that on inauguration night, 2009, during a four hour, "invitation only" meeting with GOP Hate-Propaganda Minister, Frank Luntz, the below listed Senior GOP Law Writers literally plotted to sabotage, undermine and destroy America's Economy
FACT 2: Draper wrote the guest list included:
The Guest List:
Frank Luntz - GOP Minister of Propaganda
Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI)Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA)
Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA),
Rep. Pete Sessions (R-TX),
Rep. Jeb Hensarling (R-TX),
Rep. Pete Hoekstra (R-MI)
Rep. Dan Lungren (R-CA),
Sen. Jim DeMint (SC-R),
Sen. Jon Kyl (AZ-R),
Sen. Tom Coburn (OK-R),
Sen. John Ensign (NV-R) and
Sen. Bob Corker (TN-R).
Non-lawmakers present Newt Gingrich - Failed GOP candidate for President
FACT 3: Newt Gingrich confirms meeting took place in an interview with Al Sharpton's Politics Nation on June 12, 2012
SHARPTON: In fact, let`s go to a book that Mr. Draper wrote about the night of the inauguration. There was a meeting at a hotel near the inaugural ball, about a mile away ... He writes about that night the plan was to show united and unyielding opposition to the president`s economic policies ... And Draper writes that you told the group -- you, Newt Gingrich, "You will remember this day...you will remember this day the seeds of 2012 were sown." If there was a commitment from day one, before he ever took a seat behind the desk of the Oval Office, that everyone was going to obstruct him, then what he`s done has been almost unbelievable, against those kind of odds, Speaker Gingrich. NEWT: The first is, it was an important meeting and I was glad and honored to be part of it ... I said to Callista when we left the wall -- because we were at the Capitol for the inaugural. As we left, I said, you know, if he sticks to the kind of moderation and bipartisanship he`s been describing, he will split the Republican Party. He`ll govern like Eisenhower and he`ll get reelected. Now this is -- this is the inaugural day.SHARPTON: I`m glad you admit you had it.
FACT 4: Two months after Paul Ryan & Kevin McCarthy’s covert meeting where they plotted to sabotage the US Economy, in March 2009, Rep. Pete Sessions saidRepublicans should follow the model of the Taliban in its battles against President Obama. In the March 2009 interview with National JournalRep Sessions said:
PETE SESSIONS: "Taliban Insurgency, we understand perhaps a little bit more because of the Taliban. Insurgency is the way they went about systematically understanding how to disrupt and change a person's entire processes. And these Taliban -- is an example of how you go about to change a person from their messaging to their operations to their frontline message. And we need to understand that Insurgency may be required when [dealing with] the other side" ~Rep Pete Sessions, March 2009 to National Journal
Rep Pete Sessions went on to say:
PETE SESSIONS: "If they [democrats] do not give us those options or opportunities then we will then become Insurgency ... I think Insurgency is a mindset and an attitude that we're going to have to search for and find ways to get our message out and to be prepared to see things for what they are, rather than trying to do something about them"
FACT 5: Also, at the January 20, 2009 meeting they plotted to suddenly stop supporting any Stimulus Legislation, even though, they all supported Bush/Cheney Stimulus legislation. At the meeting, Rep Kevin McCarthy said
KEVIN McCARTHY: "We've gotta challenge them on every single bill. Show united and unyielding opposition to the president’s economic policies."
~Kevin McCarthy January 20, 2009 in Secret Meeting
FACT 6: Not only did these GOP members of Congress plot to destroy the American Economy more than it already was destroyed before President Obama took office; they actually carried out their mission:
Every one of these GOP members of Congress have threatened Government Shutdown over things like: Funding planned parenthood, Raising the Debt Ceiling which, in-and-of-itself, would cause US Economic turmoil.
FACT 7: During the Debt Ceiling negotiations, Eric Cantor and Sen. Jon Kyl abruptly walked out of negotiations and refused to renew discussions with Democrats. As a result, America's credit rating was lowered which put a smile on Republican's faces.
FACT 8: Meanwhile, the 2009 Sabotage the U.S. Economy covert meeting members, Senators: Jim DeMint, Jon Kyl, Tom Coburn, John Ensign, and Bob Corker have:
- Filibustered more Bills (over 300) than any Congress combined in US History. - Voted NO on every single piece of Legislation brought to the Floor including: NO on Al Franken's Anti-Rape Amendment, NO on Lilly Ledbetter, NO on Fair Pay Act, NO on Anti-Outsourcing Bill (2010)
FACT 9: The House members who attended the 2009 Sabotage America meeting have been busy rejecting legislation that helps victims of natural disaster.
Representatives:Paul Ryan, Eric Cantor, Kevin McCarthy, Rep. Pete Sessions, Jeb Hensarling, Pete Hoekstra and Dan Lungren have voted NO on every single piece of Legislation including: NO on increasing FEMA during natural disasters.
FACT 10:Paul Ryan, Kevin McCarthy and these other same corrupt GOP Congressmen were on tv constantly chanting the lie that they were guilty of ... the lie that "President Obama's policies undermine the US Economy."
FACT 11: Other Legislation used to sabotage US Economy
Paul Ryan, Kevin McCarthy and the Republicans in Congress refused to negotiate or even discuss passing President Obama's American Jobs Act that independent economists claim would create 1.3 million new jobs.
Gawd forbid Paul Ryan or Kevin McCarthy would have chosen to put American families before their GOP so-called “family” by supporting legislation that would put people to work building needed infrastructure and provide funds to pay to rehire hundreds of thousands of teachers, firefighters, police officers and other public service workers that have been laid off in droves by cash-starved states … but nope.
FACT 12:Paul Ryan, Kevin McCarthy and Republicans blocked President Obama's 2012 Anti-Outsourcing Bill - which is a Bill to discourage the outsourcing of American jobs which undermined American Workers & US Economy.
FACT 13: The Washington Post reported that Republicans have made it clear that the Federal Reserve would face fierce Republican criticism if it takes further actions to stimulate the economy before the election. The Washington Post wrote that,
Republicans... have expressed deep concern about measures taken by the Fed to support the economy -- and could be doubly upset if new efforts goose the stock market and are perceived to work in favor of President Obama's re-election.
To Summarize:
Since at least 2009, the GOP have plotted to sabotage US Economy, abused the power of their office to politicize the tragedy in Benghazi, enabled Trump to hide any corrupt or criminal coordination they (GOP) suspect between Trump and Putin.
Today’s GOP have no business being in public office & Kevin McCarthy sure as hell has no business being Speaker of the House. Ever.
