Control of the House will pass to Republicans on January 3, so the Democrats are frantically trying to get the bill passed before then. McCarthy has threatened that if the bill is passed, he will veto future legislation by anyone who supports the spending package.<\/p>\n<p>During a CNN panel discussion, Tapper pointed to a quote from North Dakota GOP Senator Kevin Cramer.\u00a0\u201cStatements like that and statements coming from House Republicans is the very reason that some Senate Republicans feel they probably should spare them from the burden of having to govern,\u201d Cramer had said.<\/p>\n<p>Then Tapper mocked McCarthy, likening him to the Wicked Witch of the West in \u201cThe Wizard of Oz\u201d and his supporters. \u201cThe reason that Senate Republicans are coming into this deal with the devil, in their view, is because they look at Kevin McCarthy and his gang of flying monkeys,\u201d Tapper claimed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>Tapper, referring to Cramer\u2019s quote, said, \u201cI mean, I just love that quote.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He then quoted Utah GOP Senator Mitt Romney ripping McCarthy: \u201cWe\u2019re enduring the silly season of a campaign. For most of us, that\u2019s over after you get elected. But he\u2019s running for speaker of the House, so the silliness is still evident.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s like cussing for Mitt Romney,\u201d Tapper claimed.<\/p>\n<p>Tapper concluded the panel by stating that all McCarthy cared about was becoming House speaker, saying, \u201cHe is only thinking in terms of getting 218 votes. That\u2019s it. That\u2019s the only thing he\u2019s looking at right now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to the Heritage Foundation, the omnibus bill includes leftist causes like a\u00a0$3.6 million Michelle Obama Trail in Georgia,\u00a0$1.2 million for \u201cLGBTQIA+ Pride Centers,\u201d\u00a0$1.2 million for \u201cservices for DACA recipients\u201d at San Diego Community College,\u00a0$477,000 for the Equity Institute in Rhode Island,\u00a0$3 million for the American LGBTQ+ Museum in New York City, $2 million for the \u201cGreat Blacks in Wax\u201d museum in Baltimore, and\u00a0$856,000 for the \u201cLGBT Center\u201d in New York.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\ud83d\udcb8 $1.2 million for \u201cLGBTQIA+ Pride Centers\u201d<br \/>\ud83d\udcb8 $1.2 million for &#8220;services for DACA recipients\u201d (aka helping illegal aliens with taxpayer funds) at San Diego Community College.<br \/>\ud83d\udcb8 $477k for the Equity Institute in RI to indoctrinate teachers with \u201cantiracism virtual labs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Heritage Foundation (@Heritage) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Heritage\/status\/1605233872073068544?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 20, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\ud83d\udcb8 $750k for the for \u201cLGBT and Gender Non-Conforming housing\u201d in Albany, New York.<br \/>\ud83d\udcb8 $2 million for the \u201cGreat Blacks in Wax\u201d museum in Baltimore.<br \/>\ud83d\udcb8 $856k for the \u201cLGBT Center\u201d in New York.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Heritage Foundation (@Heritage) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Heritage\/status\/1605233876863160320?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 20, 2022<\/p>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CNN\u2019s Jake Tapper mocked House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy and Republicans in the House over McCarthy\u2019s resistance to the mammoth $1.7 trillion spending bill pushed by the Democratic Party.
