Kevin McCarthy, Pelosi Consider Rule Changes To Block January 6 Challenge, McCarthy Denies – Sources
National File ^ | 3 Jan 21 | TOM PAPPERT

The Republican Minority Leader may be working with Pelosi to stop the January 6 Electoral College challenge.

GOP Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy is in negotiations with Democrat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to block the reported 140+ representatives and a dozen senators who have publicly announced their intentions to object to controversial slates of electors submitted from contested states with credible accusations of widespread voter fraud, senior Capitol Hill sources tell National File.

Our sources explain that a McCarthy and Pelosi effort to stymie the grassroots-led effort to pursue a transparent 2020 election would mark a decided break from the populist flavored politics of the last four years back toward the bi-partisan days of back room deals, horse trading, and pay-to-play lobbying D.C. is so famous for.

National File’s sources also note that Vice President Mike Pence, as the presiding officer of the joint session of Congress scheduled for January 6, would almost certainly be informed of this effort.

Such a move would almost certainly derail Minority Leader McCarthy’s chances of one day assuming the role of House Speaker, multiple sources tell National File.

The move would be designed to stop a potential contingent election in the House of Representatives. If the Republican-led Senate and Pence were to refuse to accept Electoral College votes from states with credible accusations of widespread voter fraud, and neither President Donald Trump nor Joe Biden receive the requisite 270 electoral votes, a contingent election would be required in the House of Representatives.

Wow. This is unbelievable if true. While we were focused on McConnel and Meadows, McCarthy was at the backdoor. SMH.

Not buying this. McCarthy would be committing his party to complete and total suicide. To believe this would be to believe that the Minority Leader is a willing participant to the total destruction of his own party.
The 75 MILLION Trump Voters would never forgive such duplicity.

If Perdue and Loeffler lose in Georgia, the Democrats will dictate whatever rules they want for the rest of our lives.

Don’t see how they can stop a challenge if Pence is running the show... Besides if there are 2-3 million angry citizens outside the capitol building, and they decide to storm it if krap is going on, the capitol police don’t want to be compared to the Russian troops who fired on the protestors in 1905 in St Petersburg, Russia

Both Pelosi and McConnell are probably working on ‘Weak Link-Go Along 2 Get Along’ Kevin McCarthy.

What would be funny is if the anti-Trumpers and democrats managed to change the rules so that no objection could be made...only to find that Pence rejects the electors from the fraud states...leaving them no way to object to it.

Notwithstanding that such a move would be unconstitutional, McCarthy would be driving a stake through his political career if he did such a thing. If there are now “140” reps who are going to cast their objection of the electors, I do not see how McCarthy would not suffer serious political damage, via his own caucus, if he were to make such a “deal” with Speaker Pelosi. This story strikes me as “fake news.”

“McCarthy would be committing his party to complete and total suicide.”

Some people still can’t see the obvious. China Mitch and the GOPe are complicit conspirators in the effort to take out President Trump with the election fraud.
