Home Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) reportedly desires to fulfill with President Joe Biden in an obvious bid to renegotiate their months-old finances deal as McCarthy desperately seeks to appease Home Republican hard-liners — who’re demanding radical spending cuts — and avert a authorities shutdown as quickly as Oct. 1.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) wasn’t having McCarthy’s new demand, although.
On Tuesday, the New York congresswoman wrote on X, previously Twitter, that McCarthy had “already obtained his assembly” with Biden after they struck the deal earlier this 12 months.
“Deal is finished,” she added. “Biden held his finish. Nothing to relitigate.”
Then she wrote that McCarthy can “go pound sand.”
McCarthy already obtained his assembly w/ Biden and so they struck a deal to maintain gov open months in the past. GOP held your entire US gov hostage in trade for cuts & compelled restart of scholar mortgage funds.

Later Tuesday, Ocasio-Cortez taunted McCarthy with the “boy math” meme that unfold throughout social media ― within the wake of the “lady math” meme ― over the summer season.
“Boy math is needing 15 makes an attempt to rely the votes accurately to turn into Speaker after which shutting down the federal government 9 months later,” she wrote, mocking McCarthy’s prolonged, 15-ballot election course of and what might be a severe consequence.
