In a leaked recording of Kevin McCarthy on a call with Liz Cheney and other House Republicans, the Minority Leader told Cheney that he would counsel Trump to resign back on January 10, 2021.
“I think [impeachment resolutions] will pass, and it would be my recommendation you should resign,” McCarthy said he would tell Trump before further adding, “what he did is unacceptable. Nobody can defend that and nobody should defend it.”
Liz Cheney had pressed McCarthy about whether Trump could possibly choose to resign on his own: “Is there any chance? Are you hearing that he might resign? Is there any reason to think that might happen?”
McCarthy then admitted that this was a topic he has “had a few discussions” about with others. “My gut tells me no,” he said. “I’m seriously thinking of having that conversation with him tonight…Um, from what I know of him, I mean you guys all know him too, do you think he’d ever back away? But what I think I’m going to do, is I’m going to call him.”
The minority leader then explained he would appeal to Trump’s reason regarding an impending impeachment resolution. “This, this is what I think, we know it’ll pass the House. I think there’s a chance it’ll pass the Senate, even when he’s gone. Um, and I think there’s a lot of ramifications for that.” One such ramification would be that Trump could never hold federal office again.
McCarthy also indicated that he believed Twitter and Facebook should delete the accounts of lawmakers who were supporting Trump’s claim of a rigged election. “We can’t put up with that,” he said. “Can’t they take their Twitter accounts away, too?”

In another article that’s been released, McCarthy is on record saying this:
I’ve Had It With This Guy’: G.O.P. Leaders Privately Blasted Trump After Jan. 6
https://www.nytimes.com/2022/04/21/us/politics/trump-mitch-mcconnell-kevin-mccarthy.html
In the days after the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol building, the two top Republicans in Congress, Representative Kevin McCarthy and Senator Mitch McConnell, told associates they believed President Trump was responsible for inciting the deadly riot and vowed to drive him from politics.
Mr. McCarthy went so far as to say he would push Mr. Trump to resign immediately: “I’ve had it with this guy,” he told a group of Republican leaders.
No primary opponent. It’s on us. Not even a truck driver like the NJ fella.
My question is how much is Liz kicking up to *her* “Big Guy”.Is it 10%...50%...?
get a clue bakersfield republicans. vote him out. anyone else will do.
I don’t know but one things for sure, it’s apparent that Liz Cheney records her conversations with other lawmakers without their knowledge.
Uniparty is gonna uniparty.
Most Republicans are part of the uniparty and do not represent those who vote for them. All their careers need to end. The republic was stolen from us, and the usurpers took over on Jan 6 and these traitors do not care. Do not support the Republican party.
Evil on display.
Yeah.
Everyone should consider all their conversations are recorded.
Shes in Wyoming, no laws broken. I record certain things as well for my own protection.
I’m NOT impressed with Kevin McCarthy...
Who made the ‘secret recording’? Cheney?
[I don’t know but one things for sure, it’s apparent that Liz Cheney records her conversations with other lawmakers without their knowledge.]
I believe that is an understatement of Biblical proportions. 😀
Kevin McCarthy is a treacherous liar.
Not jumping on to this too fast. Don’t trust the NYT, don’t trust Cheney and very little trust in McCarthy, but will wait and see.
““I’m seriously thinking of having that conversation with him tonight”
I’m certain Kevin didn’t have that conversation. He is the classic coward who tells people what they want to hear and never does anything.
We should counsel McCarthy to resign immediately. He’s another corrupt Derp Stater who will do nothing to stop the illegitimate criminal pedophile in the White House. We need real leadership, and we’ll never get it with this same bunch of crooked asshats like McCarthy & McConnell.
I think so.
LOL - you’re right.
