On Monday at the White House press briefing, when White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki was asked why President Biden, despite his calls for “unity,” had still not met with House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, she admitted that the call for “unity” was a hollow one, at least among lawmakers. “When I say he is focused on bringing people together, bringing Democrats and Republicans together, he’s not talking about solving bipartisanship in this zip code here,” she said.
The reporter asked, “Hey, a question on unity. You know, you talk about earlier, you said you wanted to bring … Or the president wanted to bring the country back together. So I guess the question is he has not met with House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, according to Kevin McCarthy. What does that say about unity? And also there are some other legislative issues, as it relates to HR1 and a commission to study packing the Supreme Court, as you would say. And there’s a lot of other lists as well, budget reconciliation. So there’s a lot of folks, you’re talking about tens of millions of people, they’re concerned about that this doesn’t seem like unity at all.”
