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?”

Why do you insult weasels?
Kevin McCarthy is probably the only Republican in California who can get elected in Bakersfield.
Bottom Line - the only way the GOP can get a majority in the U.S. House or the U.S. Senate is to elect 10%-15% RINOs or Squishy Centrists.
PRyno, Cantor and McCarthy are a Russian troika for all I know.
Thanks, Anthony. You hit the nail on the head with that post. It’s mind boggling why people can’t see this treachery from these republicans. McCarthy is exposed on his own damn words
He should not get the Speakership. Kim Jordan should.
Meant Jim Jordan, not Kim!
huh? let me make myself clear. i want him unelected. he’s extremely dangerous to our Republic. bottom line: your kind of thinking is what put the gop in the mess it is, and what keeps independents like me from supporting it.
Gosh. It’s the GOP acting like the GOP. Not shocked. What is surprising is how many rubes continue to think the GOP is going to fix anything.

McCarthy met with Biden over some spending bill negotiation (there are so many), and McCarthy was asked two different ways - has Joe slowed, is he the same guy from 15 years ago? and McCarthy said only good things, he bypassed a chance to say, yeah, there are concerns. Bottom line, they all wanted Joe, so the money would flow and flow so heavily it’s impossible to track down.

Yes. Without question. All or our lives are being held ransom by a small group of people whose incompetence is matched only by their narcissism. We cannot survive career politicians, and they have to go. All of them.
Resign 10 days before leaving office? Delusional.
90% of the Republicans were in on it. Everybody should remember that. They love Biden off camera
.
Kamala Harris was getting Felons out of jail to light more fires and crack people’s skulls - and the (elected) Republicans loved her. They had nothing but good things to say about her.
This is why Twitter was allowed to block the President when the GOP owned the Senate - because they secretly supported Twitter blocking Trump and Google hiding articles on violence by BLM and Antifa.
.
Yes! Absolutely!

The guy shares an apartment with Frank Luntz. What do you expect? Nobody needed this recording to know he is just another deep state rino.
They’re not blind. They are corrupt.
Worthless men
A cop shot and killed an unarmed female protestor for suspicion of breaking a window. There were no other homicides related to the protest that day.
145 GOP House members voted for Liz Cheney in Feb 2021, they ALL need to be replaced.
Bush League Republicans are the only ones allowed into leadership because we keep electing a majority of Bush League Republicans.
We will NEVER Make America Great Again by re-electing Assistant Democrats.
Trump has to stop endorsing them.
We have a demographic disagreement.
You, and hundreds of other Freepers, are convinced that true Conservatives have enough votes to win the White House and the Congress.
Sorry - true Conservatives are a minority, in the USA, and in every other country in the world.
The only way Conservatives can survive in a democracy is to compromise with the Centrists and the RINOs.
