re: Kevin McCarthy speech after winning SOTH

quote:

---

When did this board get so dark and cynical ?

What happened to optimism and conservatism going hand and hand?

When did we start looking at most every scenario as the glass half empty vs half full?

Very disappointing.

Are you familiar with Kevin McCarthy at all? He's known as Pelosi Light. He's a complete fraud.

For Big Tech, McCarthy is “their top advocate among congressional Republicans.”

McCarthy’s antagonism toward the Big Tech companies is nothing more than political messaging. “McCarthy is reflecting what his caucus does to fundraise and motivate base voters,”

Frederic Barnes is a lobbyist at TikTok who worked for McCarthy. George Caram…senior legislative assistant…now represents Apple. Brian Worth, former director of coalitions for McCarthy, lobbies for Amazon and Wing... Jeff Miller, a political adviser to McCarthy, also represents Apple and Amazon.
Jeff Miller has already been making trips to see McCarthy.

When POLITICO asked Rep. Ken Buck (R-Colo.), the Republican leading that bipartisan antitrust push, about his thoughts on McCarthy’s anti-Big Tech rhetoric, Buck replied with a question of his own: “He’s anti-Big Tech?”

He's a complete fraud.
