House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy unleashed a marathon tirade overnight in opposition to President Biden’s social spending bill, ranting for more than eight hours on the House floor and breaking a record for the chamber’s longest continuous speech in modern history.
McCarthy (R-Calif.) spoke for 8 hours and 33 minutes and ripped the nearly $2 trillion Build Back Better package as the “single most reckless and irresponsible spending bill in our nation’s history.”
“Let me be clear: Never in American history has so much been spent at one time — at one time,” McCarthy seethed in his monologue, which began at 8:38 p.m. Thursday and finished at 5:11 a.m. Friday.
“Never in American history will so many taxes be raised and so much borrowing to be needed to pay for all this reckless spending.” Read more at the NY Post.
