During a press conference on Thursday, top names in the GOP came down on Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) regarding their leadership or lack there of. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), House Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.), GOP Chairwoman Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) and several other House Republicans spoke on what they called poor leadership from both Biden and Pelosi.
McCarthy started off by taking aim at Pelosiâs attempts to force House lawmakers to once again wear masks even if they are fully vaccinated. He said Pelosiâs approach to the pandemic has been flawed from the start and is becoming more about holding control.
McCarthy discussed the lack in preparation and the two bipartisan committees that looked into the Capitol protest months ago and was adamant, had Democrats truly wanted a bipartisan investigation into Jan. 6, Republicans wouldnât be so skeptical of the committeeâs intentions.

House Minority Whip Scalise shifted the conversation to the Biden administrationâs negative impact on the nationâs economy. Additionally, GOP Chair Stefanik summed up the issues facing Americans today with one statement.
âAmerica is in crisis because of President Biden and Nancy Pelosiâs failed leadership, and their radical far-left socialist agenda.â
She suggested the rampant inflation is a direct result of the Democratsâ tax and spend policies, and further denounced the spiking crime rates across the country. Several other lawmakers weighed in on the Democratsâ grip on the American people and addressed the mishandling of the COVID-19 pandemic, the border and rising crime rates.
McCarthy concluded by saying the first step that needs to be taken is to fire Pelosi.
