Burns Flips on McCarthy, Supports Radical GOP Vision for America

It didn’t take long with the DC establishment for Burns to switch from saying McCarthy is “dead to me” to endorsing his dangerous agenda

Last week, Bob Burns said of GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy:

He’s dead to me at this point. I’m not going to support him. And quite frankly if it boils down to it, I may run against him.

After one day in D.C. – Burns has already changed his tune.

And on Fox News yesterday, Burns said: “Kevin McCarthy is uniting the party right now and really pushing us forward.”

The House GOP plan Burns supports includes:

  • Banning abortion nationwide

  • Cutting Social Security and Medicare

  • Repealing the Affordable Care Act 

  • Making health care and prescription drugs more expensive

  • Undermining democracy and throwing away Americans’ votes

James Singer, DCCC spokesperson:
“Bob Burns is a pathetic anti-abortion radical whose word isn’t worth a dime. In D.C. he’d be a rubber stamp for Kevin McCarthy and his agenda to ban abortion, cut Social Security, and gut Medicare.”
