'Don't tell my wife, but I will bet it,' the House Minority Leader said at CPAC.

In a Saturday CPAC appearance with American Conservative Union Chair Matt Schlapp and Rep. Jim Banks of Indiana, McCarthy said there was"no chance" that"We're going to get the majority back. We're five seats away," he said."I would bet my house. My personal house. Don't tell my wife, but I will bet it. This is the smallest majority the Democrats have had in 100 years."for Republicans gaining seats in the House in the November 2020 election.

"You know why we won that? President Trump worked on all these races, let me give you a little secret and some facts, this is the first time since 1994 that no incumbent Republicans lost, we beat 15 Democrats," he said."You know who the 15 Democrats lost to? Conservative women and conservative minorities. Each and every one of them."

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy holds his weekly news conference at the U.S. Capitol June 13, 2019 in Washington, DC."Even when President Trump was sick with COVID. He called me this night in the hospital, he said, 'Kevin I've gotta keep doing this.' Because we couldn't do the rallies [so] he would do the rallies over the phone for each district and he'd have the candidate on and then he would talk.

Highly doubted, nice try tho!

Not if we can help it.

We have your bet in writing Kevin.

Only if you cheat

Does he really think that the people of America want the crazies to run the house? The Republicans do not do anything but try to end healthcare, do nothing to help the economy and pass bills that make voting harder for people of color so they can be in power. NO integrity.

GOP wants each State to be on their own Power Grid like Texas so they can kill us all off without acknowledging Global Warming 🔥

Planning on stealing elections! GOPDomesticTerrorists

💩🤡💩

He’d be homeless! Blue tide will continue!

You will control in 2022 if only Q'Anon, Oath Keepers and Proud Boys will only be allowed to vote.😱

How the hell wants to move to your state sir?

Ha,ha.....blablabla...

They don't have a good candidate so far that represent Congress if they want it back they have to come out with someone who is entitled to receive the vote someone honest, I doubt it

Who says there is going to be a 2022?

Crazy how these Republican traitors have been just ignoring Covid as if it never existed....just like trump did as we died

He would be homeless

What post trump time. Republicans don’t care at trump committed treason to try to stay in office. They helped him...and the democrats are too afraid to put the traitor in jail. It is obvious..it was on tv..we saw and heard them all..trump, Cruz, Hawley, stone, pompeo, et al

Sounds like LGraham with future promises that will later haunt them as social media helps to ensure the public remembers these statements beyond the 30-days cycle for the public to forget they once relied upon.

Homeless

🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

The Brexit guy lost his money in Trump let him lose his house

So the voter suppression efforts must be going well

Tiny homes and trailers are pretty nice now. GOPLeader

Due to the late,slow,disastrous approach to pandemia by Trump, USA is a huge graveyard with more than 500000 coronavirus patient’s deaths.Trump destroyed the economy, cannot respond to racial crisis properly & incited violence against Capitol on January 6! Enough is enough!

Democrats have to learn to use GQP playbook. Instead of being cannibals or crabs in a barrel Dems need to stick together no matter what. Do you see GQP kicking anyone out or criticizing their own? Dems will not win with division.

Lying through your yellow teeth - as usual, GOPLeader. Unless you'd care to draw up the papers?

At least he'll know what it's like to be homeless

Debunk the big lie

in a fair election no way in hell, however with the new suppression efforts and new rounds of gerrymandering it is a definite possibility.

Please make him wager the house and lose

So you think all the voter suppression bills is going to help you?

We have to prove him wrong.

He should start a flip flop company 😂😂😂

Good luck with that!

I see his house and raise his seat.

Democrats can’t let this happen. The empire can’t retake congress

I hope he is prepared to pay the wager when his party crumbles in the dust.

Humpty Dumpty had a great fall! The GOP shell is cracked because too many Trump cracks are in it!

Sadly, looks like there'll be 1 more HOMELESS man in America. Must be a Trump loyalist cause anytime he opens his mouth, nothing of Intelligence comes out!

Uh huh

GOPLeader I’ll take the bet! Goodluck loser

Well, it IS a good possibility.

Good by. You will be voted out

Liars will never be in control again

If you don’t debunk the big lie you all will be voted out of offices Today

Talk is cheap

If you don’t debunk the big lie you all will be voted out of offices

They gained seats in 2020, and we know the general historical pattern. This isn’t going out on much of a limb.

Please! Pretty please, can we get a gofundme going to take him up on his offer?

How about wagering his senate seat?

Well, let’s make him live out on the street then

Joke, right? We’d crawl to vote you out if we had to.

Only if Republicans can actually steal elections as GOP legislatures are currently planning to do in 20+ states. Republicans cannot win without voter suppression or overturning since they represent the interests of only wealthy individuals and large corporations.

I will take that bet. Please. GOP is a regional force now. They will never win nationally again.

Will he resign if they don't?

KevinMcCarthy yall too focused on winning over doing your job you were voted in to do for America. YOURFIRED

I wouldn't place any bets on either party. The 1st of March is upon us. Since January, I've seen nothing of substance come out of DC, just lip service. The more things change, the more they remain the same.

...and they don’t know that they’re dead.

What should we turn GOPLeader's house into?

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣motel 6 will leave their light on for you!

*searches for tax lien*

Stop smoking that crack with Jr.

The cheatin’s afoot.

Pretty hard to lose it with re doing all state maps

Please someone take that bet!

Idiot

McCarthy may not want to write a check that his party can't cover.

He is gonna lose his house when BrunoAmato_1 beats his ass in 2022.

Gerrymandering will do that

They are trying hard, not by doing anything right, but by making it so much harder to vote. I'm scared, honestly.

I’ll make that bet.

GOPLeader so you’re spending the next 1.5 yrs continuing to lie, spreading conspiracies, suppressing voters, gerrymandering, making it harder for ppl, particularly BIPOC, to vote, selling fear & manipulating your base to give up their votes to their state or storming capitol?

E

gerrymandering heaven

Who gets the house? Sell it & distribute proceeds to charity?

Empty threat and no one would take up that wager, so it’s completely moot.

Might do him good to experience homelessness.

Who would want it? Probably never be able to get the stench out.

Not a chance pieces of shit

How? By making sure only registered Republicans get to vote!

Not unless hey lose the trumplydites and social conservatives. Traditional republicans won’t support the current party

So if he loses, what then? Sell the house and donate the proceeds to a progressive cause?

I'll take that bet.

GOP has decided it can be as horrible as it wants and just rely on historical precedent ... they are in for a rude awakening.

His confidence lies in the GOPs continued plans for voter suppression.

So how do you want to handle this - Mayflower or U-Haul?

One more homeless person in 2022

Idiot

🤮

Do it!

Hand it over Q dude!

Gridlock father.

INEE 1 EW VWOO’D ZSAY DAT UBOUW’T THAYR FAMYLEE’Z OUZE, IZ JUZT FANTYZSYZYNG! MKARTHY, DA GOP, R LAWZS’T! THAYR ZSTARTYNG 2 RE-LYZSE, THAY LAWZS’T DA ELEKSHUN, AN DAT DA DEMUKRATYK PARTEE R N CUNTROWL!! (DA GOP NEA’D 2 ZSTAY AH VWAY FRUM DRUMP!) 🇺🇸

He’s already wagering his soul

Let’s put a pin in it and examine it at the next election, shall we?

He’s probably second or third mortgaging it to pay for campaign since the corporate money dried up for the GQP

It’s a shame he’s opting for homelessness.

I thought the goal was less homeless people?

He couldn't wager his soul, he already sold that...

He wiil lose! It is unfortunate that divisiveness, fear, and hatred have become the rallying cry for these GOP conservatives. This is where American racism and mob violence gets its energy..... Have we learned nothing from the Jan 6 insurrection?

Put up or shut up GOPLeader

He/they are counting on winning some/all of their 200+ anti voting rights lawsuits. Rs trying take away our rights/ability to vote Voting is what makes us a democracy Says all u need to know about Rs

Ya suck it Illusively!

Might want to check with the Mrs. first on that...

Well if they keep loosing guys like me. Good luck with stupid thinking.

That is always the case. After two years we see them for they are.

I double dog dare ya

I mean, what else is he going to say? Thanks for the breaking news.

LeaderMcConnell cheating will not get you any where pass the message to Kevin and the GOP

He might want to rethink that. Hell, he going to need a place to stay, when the people retire his ass. 🤭

How much is his house worth? What does he owe on it. Might be willing to bet him his equity.

Dibs!!

You know why they won .. they cheated

Wow alot of confidence

Republicans only want control. They do not care about working for the people. We cannot let that happen.

Hahaha has---- misunderstood the strength and determination of the Blue Wave! Because RepublicansHateAmerica

The republican party is very good at not being the party in power, they’re good at playing politics and convincing gullible people to vote for them or the country will be destroyed... then once they get power back everyone is reminded that they can’t govern.

there r Roman comparisons to him.

You mean this one:

*after we gerrymander the districts

Ok lenny, stay away from them rabbits now ya hear!

You know if this Representatives would do a little less worrying about getting re-elected and a little more work for the American people they wouldn’t have to worry about elections they are there because of a vote from us they need there asses kick to work

Not a hope in Hell; Kevin McCarthy and the GOP are finished. He can't stop lying, like most Republican lawmakers.

Lol

Must have drank the truuump juice while attending C razy P eople A nd C oots Rally

McCarthy also bet Trump would be re-elected.

What a joke. The majority of Republicans can't even control their bowels.

Kevin will find out what homelessness is like.

Let’s hope Kevin is wrong. For a lot of years!

Sadly, that's probably true...

No one wants to live in Bakersfield—

🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮

If rigged properly....

Hold him to his words

its a safe bet and a tax write-off

BYE FELICIA

what a better excuse to make him homeless i am motivated! VoteBlue2022

BlueWave2022WipeOutGQP

It’s at this point a safe bet 😔 CorporateDems stealing defeat again from the jaws of victory

McCarthy creeps me out!

His house will be gone in 2022. Not enough people will vote any trump parallels in. There are more of us.

I say we wager his freedom.

Trump lovers
