By now every freeper here has heard that Kevin McCarthy shot off his mouth about Trump like so many other rino A-hollls do when Trump is not around to hear them. Chickensh_ts all.
Unfortunately for Kevin it appears he was talking to Liz Cheney on the phone and the conversation was mysteriously taped(Cheney most likely lying her fat old ass off-- claims she didn't tape of give the conversation to the driveby press--yeah right Liz we believe ya!!) It's clear what Trump supporters think about McCarthy's big mouth--he could rot in hell as far as most are concerned.
The bigger question is what does Trump think about the situation. Accd. to the Wash. Post Trump is giving McCarthy a pass of all things! One has to wonder about his motivation. The misdeed by McCarthy is below in the clip from the link.

For now, McCarthy appears to have avoided blow-back from the top of the party. Many Republicans seem to be waiting for a cue from Trump about how to respond, though some have weighed in to defend or criticize McCarthy.
And The Post reports he spoke with Trump after the audio of the call was released, and Trump was not upset — indeed, he was even happy that McCarthy hadn't followed through on what he had said privately.
Trump has been more accommodating of McCarthy than McConnell. They soon patched things up after McCarthy publicly blamed Trump for not quelling the Jan. 6 riot and even floated a historic censure resolution against Trump. McCarthy has also been more solicitous of Trump than McConnell has. And that could matter for the fate of his career.
Recent history is instructive when it comes to those with whom Trump is willing to reconcile.

Bottom line however if there is any question about whether or not McCarthy is a slimedog or not, this is not his first shot at becoming Speaker, just in case some have forgotten. Below is a little reminder:

Kevin McCarthy quits speaker race amid allegations of affair with Renee Ellmers
Catholic Online News Politics & Policy

Allegedly intimate video of the pair has been released.
According to Washington insiders, Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) is having an affair with Renee Ellmers (R-NC). McCarthy dropped out of the Speaker race, and may have done so because an unknown insider is circulating a surveillance video on Capitol Hill, of him dining with Ellmers in an intimate setting.
So we see McCarthy is not above talking crap about the President behind his back nor cheating on his wife to the point of everyone finding out about it and having to step down from one of the most coveted positions in politics: SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE
So the bigger question is why is Trump giving McCarthy a pass on a loyalty question in which McCarthy shows an epic fail. Perhaps Trump is taking a page from one of the most hated liberals around:
Hillary Clinton.
Remember her FBI files? Maybe Trump has his own files. Who knows. Sometimes: the criminally inclined you know is better that the supposed good guy you don't know.
That may well be the position of the President regarding who is Speaker. He may well have made a deal with McCarthy to go all out and support him for Speaker as long as from now on: he stops all the corruption and plays it straight for a change.
If so Trump could own the House at a time when it's crucial to have a House of Reps. on your side. And, it all starts with the Speaker.Is this more of Trumps 4D chess? We many never know.
