House minority leader Kevin McCarthy said on Sunday that Democratic-backed HB 1 will destroy confidence in the elections and serve as a takeover for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, effectively destroying the United States if the broad electoral reform project is approved next month.
“No, I don’t have much to lose: the American public has a lot to lose because we would lose our freedom,” McCarthy, R-Calif., Told Fox News on Sunday Morning Futures. “When you put a bill in Congress, the majority party reserves the first numbers. This is HR 1, so this is more important for Nancy Pelosi to maintain her power.”
EVERY DEMOCRAT HOUSE SIGNS AT SCAN HR 1, THE GOP ARGUE THAT WOULD ‘DERERMINATE’ ELECTORAL INTEGRITY
All House Democrats last week signed the HR 1 electoral reform bill – also known as the People’s Act – saying it will expand voting rights and “eliminate corruption” in politics. But Republicans classified it as a “federal takeover” and accused Democrats of trying to change electoral rules to benefit.
The project must be considered in the plenary of the Chamber during the first week of March.
“What we have to do is make people lose confidence in the elections, you will break society and we will lose America as we know it,” said McCarthy, addressing hostess Maria Bartiromo. “We know that there is a real issue, a question of trust in the last elections.
“From now on, what you have to do is exactly that: you have to clean the rollers … You have to file a lawsuit to make sure that you clean the rollers. We need to make sure that there is integrity.”

McCarthy then punched California Governor Gavin Newsom, who is facing a strengthening call-back campaign that is expected to hit the polls this fall. He said the governor would be more likely to verify the identities of those who sign the revocation petitions than those who vote for his state.
“There is a recall going on in California. I assure you that Gavin Newsom makes sure that you are checking the identities of those who sign the recall rather than checking the identities of those who are voting in California,” said McCarthy. “You can’t send a mass vote to people who don’t even ask for it when those lists are so bad.
“I think showing an identity to get on a plane. Yes, I could do that. I can also show an identity to vote because in California it is just like what they are doing in the COVID bill. Now they want to give vaccines to immigrants, illegal immigrants who are arriving before giving it to Americans in San Francisco, “he continued.” If you are illegal, you can vote in a school board dispute. They want people who are not American to vote. We need to have integrity, responsibility and elections that people will trust at the end of the day. And that’s why we have to do reforms and that’s why HR 1 should be rejected. ”

McCarthy also said that of President Biden’s $ 1.9 trillion COVID stimulus package, 91% go to non-COVID-related agenda items, arguing that “socialists are taking over the swamp”.
