Kevin McCarthy’s priceless expressions say everything about Biden’s BS SOTU speech

February 8, 2023 | | Print Article

There were few surprises in Tuesday night’s State of the Union address as President Joe Biden lived down to the predictions voiced by many that he would lie and distort the truth. As expected, he used the occasion to attack Republicans while largely ignoring many of the driving issues affecting the state of our union, be it crime, the cost of living, or even China.

One key difference from last year is who was sitting behind the president. Along with Vice President Kamala Harris, this year’s speech featured Republican Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy, and his facial expressions throughout the address were likely a pretty good indication of how many on the right felt about what they were hearing.

“McCarthy’s face is priceless,” tweeted New York Post columnist Miranda Devine

One moment that jumped out and was being propagated afterward by the Democratic media machine as a “masterclass” moment was when Biden falsely accused Republicans of wanting to do away with Social Security and Medicare — the old scare senior citizens ploy — and then when the GOP protested loudly, which included U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Green, R-Ga., appearing to call the president a liar, he backed off to say that “some” Republicans do and then used the protests from across the aisle to declare unanimity on the issue.

“So we all agree, Social Security and Medicare are off the books,” Biden said, of an issue that was never “on” the books.

McCarthy’s face let it be known from the jump that the president was being dishonest with the American people in pushing a campaign talking point in a national address to the American people.

There were several moments when the 80-year-old president ended up yelling. One such moment was when he was talking about infrastructure — again, McCarthy’s face spoke volumes:

The president also yelled about banning assault weapons now — a political punch line that drew applause from Irish rocker Bono, of U2 fame, who was in attendance.

Biden’s audacious remarks on border security also drew an amused reaction from the speaker — the president put the onus on Congress to solve the wide open border his administration created, calling on them to pass his “comprehensive” immigration reform plan that amounts to amnesty for millions of illegal immigrants OR to at least approve funding “to approve equipment and officers to secure the border.”

The funding he seeks is to better facilitate the massive flow of humanity pouring across the southern border, processing them quicker and more efficiently before releasing them into the country.

And on and on it went… McCarthy surely needing a face massage for his poor overworked muscles:
