Book comes out claiming McCarthy was so disgusted by trumps jan 6 actions, he was going to tell trump to resign.
McCarthy denies ever saying such a thing and claims the book is a lie.
Audio tape is released on which McCarthy tells other republicans he is going to tell trump to resign.
What a spineless lying little ■■■■■■■
A spokesperson for McCarthy did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The California Republican had responded to the reporting by Burns and Martin earlier in the day by calling it “totally false and wrong,” though his statement did not address specifics. Spokespeople for Cheney and the Jan. 6 select committee declined to comment.
The call underscores the degree to which GOP leaders were preparing to abandon Trump in the aftermath of the attack — only for McCarthy to rapidly veer back into Trump’s fold. McCarthy, who sharply denied plans to recommend Trump’s resignation before the tape was released, has since become one of Trump’s staunchest defenders and worked to stymie congressional investigations into the Jan. 6 attack. He warned tech companies of potential retaliation if they cooperated with House Jan. 6 investigators and he pulled the plug on the prospect of a 9/11-commission-style investigation of the attack, despite having deputized a Republican lawmaker who forged a bipartisan proposal.
For McCarthy, the appearance of the audio recording from the days following the attack could weigh on his bid to become the next speaker of the House, a possibility if Republicans retake the chamber, as they’re now favored to do.
Another of the after effects of the Trump years…politicians now have to lie about stupid things, even though they are probably 99% sure the evidence is out there that they lied.
While Pelosi was parading a coffin around the capitol, feeding the lib sheople what she wanted regurgibleated like libs did here in Hannity Land, McCarthy for a moment…bought into it. Then, like many among us that have our eyes and ears open… he saw this sham for what it was and what it is.
The truth is, I wouldn’t know for sure but what i do know, is what I said. Pelosi, Schumer and company lied big time and purposefully distorted this whole affair for no other reason, than to keep Trump out of the WH forever more. The January 6th commission she initiated and didn’t allow the minority leader to select the Rs making this an actual bipartisan panel PROVES this whole thing is a sham!
you guys always fall for the left wing spin of the masters
this is nothing new, its been out there a long time. mccarthy was asked a hypothetical question and he answered saying what he “would” do, not saying what he “will” do. he “planned” on doing nothing.
