Bullshit. If I pay a politician to vote the way I want, that’s a bribe. That the inherently corrupt system makes it legal as long as I don’t spell out the quid pro quo specifically like the world’s worst undercover cop doesn’t make it any less of a bribe.
So. where exactly are you disagreeing with me? there is zero evidence Joe Biden ever received money or any other form of bribe, or was ever influences by his son's position on the board. The 20 million they talk about going to the "Biden Family"... a lot of that is just business associates doing... business. Oh, and the Hunter was employed by Burismo. That is no more illegal than you being employed by your presumed employer. was it of dubious ethics? perhaps. but it's not illegal, and there's no sign that it induced Joe Biden to behave in an unethical manner. if there was a smoking gun, they'd have found it by now an been waiving it around every chance they get.
When McCarthy claims to have never received a legal bribe, he's not speaking to that second definition you screenshot. You know, the highly informal one used by parents who know their just encouraging bad habits. In any case, to make the distinction of "i've never received an legal bribe" implies that he has in fact received a bribe- there would be no need to make that distinction. Further, because all bribes are illegal... any bribe he might have received would not fall into the classification of 'legal bribe'. At least, not while McCarthy is employed by the federal government.
Who said anything about the Bidens? I’m talking about The Invertebrate Formerly Known as Speaker…
McCarthy's comments about bribes were in reference to the Bidens.
