McCarthy blasts Pelosi and Biden on border, crime, masks and inflation | New York Post
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy and his Republican colleagues blasted House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and President Biden on Thursday for putting the “country in crisis,” pointing to the influx of immigrants at the border, the conflicting guidelines over mask wearing, rising prices of consumer goods and the surging crime rates in American cities. “We have a country in crisis,” McCarthy (R-Calif.) said during a news conference with other Republican House members on Capitol Hill. He noted a recent poll that showed that Americans’ optimism about the direction of the country has plunged nearly 20 percentage points since April. “This should surprise no one in America. Every time Americans go to the checkout at the grocery store or gas station, they’re paying more. Every time they turn on the local or national news, they’re seeing crime continue to surge. Every time they get updates about our southern border, they’re seeing reports about thousands of migrants that are illegally entering our country every single day and not being tested for COVID,” the California lawmaker said. #Biden #McCarthy #NewYorkPost The New York Post is your source for breaking news, news about New York, sports, business, entertainment, opinion, real estate, culture, fashion, and more.
