McCarthy: Cheney, Kinzinger would have 'hard time ever coming back to Congress'

House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) said Friday he believes GOP Reps. Liz Cheney (Wyo.) and Adam Kinzinger (Ill.) would have a “hard time ever coming back to Congress” following their censure by the Republican National Committee (RNC).

McCarthy was asked on Fox News if he believed it was appropriate for the RNC to rebuke Cheney and Kinzinger, two longtime members of the GOP who have vocally criticized former President Trump over his actions leading up to the Jan. 6, 2021, riot.

“Look, there is a reason why Adam is quitting. There's a reason why Liz Cheney is no longer in leadership and has very low poll rating in Wyoming,” McCarthy replied, referring to Kinzinger’s decision not to run for reelection in Illinois and the vote last year to drop Cheney from House GOP leadership.

What was the reason 145 of you voted for Liz Cheney last February?

“They outed themselves as Assistant Democrats and we can’t cover for them anymore”

I thought they were being ousted from the Party, and then they decided to censure.

Stern words.

Assistant democrats do vote for republican agenda once in a while.

Democrats NEVER.

You must be a democrat troll, always posting against republicans.

I would rather have a real opposition party.
One that actually opposes the Democrats instead of assisting them.

You go back to his posts over the years, Democrats would probably have about 70 Senate seats for the last several years. He has called for Democrat victories over Republicans every election cycle. Imagine what the country would look like with a far left super majority on the Supreme Court going back to 2016 and all of the rulings between then and now.

The RNC has no authority to “oust” anyone in Congress.

Why don’t you stop pretending and at least a few times point out how bad leftists the democrats are. Why do you always insist on every republican to be a purist?

You are either a democrat troll or an unrealistic purist, which Ronald Reagan warned us about.

The plan was to oust them from the Republican Conference.

They rejected it, and made a few stern words that mean nothing.

Yes, they do, because they are.
Look at the fluffers on this thread that want to keep voting for assistant democrats.

So you deny all of those posts going back year after year supporting one Democrat candidate after another over Republicans? Supporting Grimes over McConnell (https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3463364/posts - ironically - your comment was also to entropy12 on that thread)? Murphy over Rubio? Nelson over Scott? Etc.? Your long lists you repeatedly post calling for the defeat of virtually every GOP Senator?

Give me a break. You think we’ve forgotten that? You actually contend it is a “lie” you’ve repeatedly posted those kinds of things for many years on end?

You also repeatedly keep posting about “natural born citizen” a definition you know full well by now is not correct - yet you keep posting it.

I did say Alison Grimes was the lesser evil in 2014.
Stand by it.
McConnell and you assisted the election of Democrat Doug Jones.

And I am correct about natural born citizen.

The children of foreigners, born with divided nationality, loyalty and allegiance are PRECISELY who the founders were excluding.
The skier competing for China illustrates why the founders were right.

Barry Barack Hussein Soebarkah Soetoro Obama illustrates perfectly well why the Founding Fathers conceived the Natural Born Citizen Clause for weeding out and preventing DISLOYAL Commander in Chiefs, who would also hold the position of President of the United States, or Vice President of the United States.

HELLO? Divided Loyalties...
