Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) told members of the House GOP conference Wednesday morning that he will not bring the Senate’s bipartisan continuing resolution to the floor for a vote.

Rep. Bob Good (R-Va.) told reporters after a closed-door House GOP conference meeting that McCarthy informed lawmakers during the gathering that he will not bring the upper chamber’s legislation to the floor for a vote, even after the Senate voted to advance it in a bipartisan fashion Tuesday night.

“I don’t think he plans to do that,” Good said when asked about bringing the Senate stopgap bill up for a vote. “He reiterated that this morning. I called on him to consistently say that to the public, let the Senate know that’s dead on arrival and that there’s no way the House would pass that bill.”

*Sniveling spineless magat

If he put it to the floor, one of the triple-kookoos will call a motion to vacate and possibly oust him as speaker and apparently he thinks there's a good chance they would, or else he just wants to act like he's in control of the House and not being hand-held by the adults in the upper chamber, since the Senate bill would easily pass in the house.

Any at-risk Republican want to call the same motion if he doesn't put it to the floor?
