Rep. Michael McCaul (R-TX) Admits 'Worry' Democrats Will 'Expand Health Care and Education'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Rep. Michael McCaul (R-TX) expressed his concern with President Joe Biden's ambitious infrastructure bill that he could dash bipartisan support by expanding health care and education in the U.S.

Appearing on Fox News Sunday, the Republican congressman admitted a wide-ranging $1.2 trillion infrastructure deal was popular on both sides of the aisle, but said elements of the bill were "totally unacceptable," namely measures to increase education, clean energy and health care spending.

Fox News host Mike Emanuel, standing in for Chris Wallace, quizzed Rep. McCaul on whether rejecting popular measures in the infrastructure bill could carry political risk.

In response, Rep. McCaul said there was broad Republican support for many elements of the bill that would finance building roads, bridges and increase internet connectivity in rural regions.

1. They're just saying it out loud now that they oppose healthcare and education.

[NQAS]

15. I don't watch the Sunday shows

Does anyone ask more questions about their opposition to education and health care?

One question: Why do you hate America and Americans?

[onecaliberal]

17. No. They're not called out. EVER. That's the problem.

If that were me, I would have pointed out that by virtue of his votes he supports ALL tax cuts for the rich without paying for it, but opposes funding healthcare and education for all Americans.

2. Expand health care and education?

We're talkin' un-armed overthrow here folks.

[MagickMuffin]

3. Rep. Michael McCaul, you say that like it's a bad thing

Dumbing down continues and you were elected by willful ignorant and it's because of the dumbing down of Americans.

Scary stuff!

[Vinca]

4. Yep, Biden and the Democrats are absolute demons. Healthcare for the masses?????

Education????? It's a Satanic deal.

[gratuitous]

5. Winning office so you can enact programs? Dastardly!

Everyone knows you win public office so you can rip off the taxpayers, reward your cronies, and set yourself up for the next election. That's it. What's this with enacting programs and setting a governing agenda? It's witchcraft, I tells ya!

[TreasonousBastard]

6. How does one get elected with the platform that says...

"We're going to keep you sick and stupid"?

[Wounded Bear]

8. I've often wondered why people vote for candidates who's stated purpose is to destroy the gov't...

[Midnight Writer]

7. Conservatives frame education and health care as mechanisms for liberals to control the public.

It's sickening how many people buy into this nonsense.

[SallyHemmings]

9. Can't have healthy & smart folks running around

[calimary]

10. And that's something to worry about, 'eh?

Republicans DON’T want to help you!

Frankly, the only people they ever seem interested in helping are those who don’t need any help, and are doing JUST FINE for themselves.

[Cryptoad]

11. O!,,,, the Horror !

[ShazzieB]

16. O the horror is right! 😱

Those RWNJs must wear out a lot of pearls from clutching them so hard all the time.

[paleotn]

12. They also don't want to pay for it....

with higher corporate and individual tax rates for the rich.

[Warpy]

13. They really hate Americans, don't they?

Anything that might benefit people and the country as a whole is EEEEVUL, I suppose we're supposed to sit tight and wait for either Jesus or the billionaires to take care of it.

Yeah, we all know how that one goes.

You'd think people would start catching a fucking clue about those guys, but they don't.

[Progressive Jones]

14. I wonder if they know how many in the GOP base

are poorly educated and in bad health.

Keep Them Ignorant us the GOP creedo.
