A 2015 tweet about voting to avoid the threat of a debt default written by House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy resurfaced as Republicans are currently working to block raising the debt ceiling.

Assistant Speaker of the House Katherine Clark posted a screenshot of McCarthy's October 21 tweet, which said, "When the United States makes promises, it keeps them, which is why the House voted today to avoid the threat of a debt default." She captioned the photo with, "There's always a tweet."

While President Joe Biden and Democrats want to raise the debt ceiling, the legal limit on how much outstanding debt the federal government can hold, McCarthy and Republicans in Congress have promised to block their attempts.

The GOP voted to extend the borrowing limit three times under President Donald Trump with support from Democrats, according to The Washington Post.

5. There is a cure;

eliminate the filibuster. At the very least make them actually stand on the Senate floor and filibuster. Make them explain why Social Security checks won't go out or why active military won't get paid.

6. Yes Kevin McCarthy DID say that in 2015, but ...

... he wasn't under oath at the time.

Any Repukes that aren't under oath, are probably lying.
