This is just part of the PR fraud that will become standard doctrine for the now authoritarian government. Either McCarthy had been totally comprised, assuming he was not already, or remains a very low information politician.
We will see a good deal of this kind of in the very near future, and intimidation, blackmail, and pervasive pernicious corruption becomes the premise and doctrine of the new CCP installed regime.
Weak minded fools, as McCarthy has turned out to be, will be no obstacle to the regime’s plans to destroy the culture of a free republic in America. Inevitably, McCarthy will come to some sort of realization, that he was quite wrong. But, saying that this will come way too late, will be an understatement.
McCarthy is what happens when the establishment picks a pubic adulterer to head their caucus.
He's a snake - even to his family.
