Newly released audio showing that McCarthy wanted Donald Trump to resign in the wake of the Jan. 6 insurrection has prompted allies of the former president to question whether McCarthy is fit for the top job in the House.
While the GOP leader is still seen as the overwhelming favorite to be speaker in 2023, given Republicans’ likelihood of taking back the House, it could endanger McCarthy’s chances to win over a necessary block of pro-Trump Republicans — particularly if Trump comes out against McCarthy’s speakership bid.
Though most House Republicans remained silent Friday — and some indicated they believed the controversy would abate — several of Trump’s close allies said they believe McCarthy would need to spend months proving his pro-Trump bona fides. Most of Washington awaited a public signal from Trump himself about how to respond to the McCarthy audio, or further clarifications from McCarthy about his Jan. 10, 2021 comments, including why he initially denied making them.

McCarthy is a lying scumbag and typical 2 faced SOB hack.
Again. 100% distraction.
RULE 12: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.”
Remove that RINO!
Somebody primary McCarthy. If we can’t primary him, then support a Patriot Party candidate in the general election. ‘Eff Frank Lunz’s butt buddy.
Unless we replace EVERY Bush League Republican we will get the same type of leadership.
How many of us didn’t understand that McCarthy was a swamp creature at heart?
I am looking forward to Trump responding to this at his rally to morrow night. It should be interesting.
“Make sure your sins will find you out ...” Toast
He’s one of those who from the shadows, will come out and stab you in the back, after pretending to be a loyal friend.
Spit*
Never liked the guy. He seems dumb, and reliant on schmoozing to succeed. Kind of like Biden.
Once again, McCarthy’s loose lips will kill his chance at speaker. Remember he said that the Benghazi hearings were all about hurting Hillary...he thought he was in line to be speaker then, but after THAT backlash, we ended up with ANOTHER worthless RINO, Paul Ryan. If we can’t do better than McCarthy, we are doomed.
This backstabbing poser is toast.
The left does not want this RINO as speaker, lol. We are aligned on that you lefty scum. thanks for the help getting his tossed out on his ear. That said, who will take his place? Can Jim Jordan get it? that would be fantastic.
ONLY RINOS will vote for McCarthy for Speaker!!! STOP THIS MADNESS!
That is a great graphic.
