Weak GOP House Leader McCarthy Shows His True Colors – Sides with McConnell and Democrats – Calls Jan 6 a “Violent Insurrection”
Gateway Pundit ^ | 2/11/2022 | Jim Hoft

Posted on 02/11/2022 8:34:00 AM PST by AnthonySoprano

Anyone who thinks Kevin McCarthy would make an effective Speaker of the House should reassess.

(snip) Years later it was discovered that Kevin McCarthy was living with pollster Frank Luntz in Washington D.C. despite having a wife and kids in California.

And in May of 2021 McCarthy said, ““I don’t think anybody is questioning the legitimacy of the presidential election. That’s all over with.”

On Thursday McCarthy described the January 6 protests as a “violent insurrection.”

His goal is to please Democrats and the media.

The Daily Mail reports:

House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy has conceded that January 6th was a ‘violent insurrection,’ saying he agreed with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s description of that day.

‘No one would disagree with that,’ McCarthy told reporters on Capitol Hill on Wednesday.

His clarification comes after McCarthy was mocked by Democrats for walking away from an ABC News reporter who was asking him about the Republican National Committee censure of Adam Kinzinger and Liz Cheney for serving on the committee investigating the insurrection.

our government is not designed for ‘leaders’ ... it is designed for ‘representatives’ ...

It is not that dismal.

Our representatives have assured us they will advance our interests in the face of political opposition. We have chosen them to do exactly that; i.e., to lead the advance, consistent with state and federal Constitutions and laws, against the opposition.

You have a great About page!

What’s important is that Kevin McCarthy is up for election

McCarthy has watched California sink into Third-World Marxism and now he wants the same for America.

Vote against this man like you would Biden. We're far better off without him/them.

Trump is a threat to the GOPe

Really we have no room to talk about Democrat trying to keep blacks on the that Democrat plantation and block options to escape

Because the the GOPe is hell bent to keep us us as bonded Serfs on the GOPe estate

We know the game they want to remove out options.. you can vote to be a Dem Plantation slave or a GOPe estate Serf. Either way you’re a bound man

Trump MUST STOP endorsing Bush League Republicans.

He is assisting the Assistant Democrats to keep us on the Bush League plantation.

Reagan was correct—in the 1980s.

These days many Republicans have become NPCs in a Democratic controlled world.

Non player characters are better than evil ones, but it is very hard to get enthusiastic about them while they stab us in the back.

I despise politicians who just say things because that’s what somebody wants to hear, rather than know what they are talking about.

Donald Trump never did that.

Fact is it wasn’t a violent insurrection. It was a demonstration but not a violent one.

Noone morally compromised would, that is.

Add another traitor to the list.

There is only one way that McCarthy is not speaker next year.

That is if Trump demanded it. Not happening.

Maybe he moves against Mitch because the blood has gotten very bad but I see no indication he will do anything with Kevin.

Trump wants to be the leader (and he is popularity-wise) but he seems incapable of recognizing the threat his generals pose or how they will continue to undermine him and his agenda.

America First will never be a real thing until those who have to implement it believe in it. His rally cry should be GOP first and then America. Without the former you won’t have the latter.

The House may look somewhat different next January. This douche nozzle will be gone.

"Jim Jordan would be a magnificent Speaker of the House."

I was happily surprised to find that Jim Jordan had at least ran against McCarthy for House Minority Leader.

U.S. House GOP elects Kevin McCarthy as minority leader but some Texans backed Jim Jordan (11.14.18, non-FR)

So do California patriots need to primary McCarthy?

He is out of the closet! Finally!
Just another pinko fellow-traveler...
That must bring the GOP to the 50% pinko level?
The communists began infiltrating the GOP after Joe M. went public...

"That’s all over with.” On Thursday McCarthy described the January 6 protests as a “violent insurrection.”

It was more like an FBI driven stampede.

The 2020 Election changed this country for all time.

I think a lot of Americans think that President Trump was cheated out as president as well as myself.

A lot of Freepers including myself think "Why McCarthy as the leader of the House."

Well it does sound a lot better than the current leader of the House of Representatives Miss Pelousy and yes her track record is spend "We the people's" money ($$$$$).
