8+ hour long speech is not only his personal longest speech on the floor of the House of Representatives, it is also longer than the one which Speaker Pelosi herself gave when seeking to extend "immigration rights" to those who were DACA children/youth. This coverage - summation of Kevin McCarthy (R-California) speech that lasted 8 hours 38 minutes is excerpted from THE HILL dot-com
McCarthy's speech primarily included the main GOP arguments against the legislation, blasting it as "reckless" spending that wouldn't address the costs of inflation on Americans' minds.
But McCarthy also spent much of his remarks veering into topics such as immigration at the southern border; his inability to afford a Tesla and friendship with the electric vehicle company's owner, Elon Musk; the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan; baby carrots; the deli he opened in his youth; his experience getting a COVID-19 booster shot earlier Thursday; and the Wednesday vote on a resolution put forth by Democrats to censure Rep. Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.) and remove him from House committees
