Tucker Carlson explained on his show that he received a tip from someone he considered 'reliable' that House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy was living with pollster Frank Luntz.

TUCKER: Over the weekend, we got a call from a source who said that, in fact, Frank Luntz and Kevin McCarthy are not simply friends, they're roommates. Kevin McCarthy lives in Luntz’s apartment in downtown Washington. That's what we were told, and honestly, we did not believe it. The top Republican in the House lives with a Google lobbyist? Come on. Even by the sleazy and corrupt standards of politics in Washington, that didn’t seem possible. In fact, it sounded like a joke.
This morning, since we heard it we called to check with Kevin McCarthy's spokeswoman, and when we raised this she all but chuckled at the suggestion, "No when he’s in Washington," she told us, "Kevin McCarthy rents hotel rooms, or sleeps in his office in the Capitol. He certainly isn’t living with Frank Luntz." Okay, and that seemed logical to us, but we did press a little bit because we got the tip from someone reliable and we just wanted to be sure. So the spokeswoman said she would get back to us.
Two hours later, we got this text. Quote: "Following up on our conversation from earlier today. Because of the pandemic, McCarthy has rented a room in Washington at a fair market price from Frank."

“There is nothing wrong with this.”
So why did they lie about it?
“A leaked document from the U.S. State Department and seen by The National Pulse appears to show former Vice President Mike Pence’s Chief of Staff Marc Short recommending Frank Luntz – whose close relationship with Hunter Biden was exposed via the President-Elect’s son’s hard drive – for the role of Under Secretary of Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs.“

Seriously? Pelosi/Schumer/AOC own scott and McCarthy .. they are NOT the least bit in fear of them ... Dims know everything these fakes do 24/7 and hold it over their heads... Someplace I read/heard the whole of the Capital staff is run by the LGQBERTs..
“So why did they lie about it”. Yes...their first impulse was to lie about the “arrangement”.
Better wake up, Sean. Tucker is leaving you in the dust.
This is a big scoop!
I agree, this is a stupid story. Tucker us grasping
Why can’t Steve Scalise be the Majority leader when republicans take the house.
Your 'comment' says more about you than the 'story'... What exactly does Tucker us grasping, mean? The mere fact you do not recognize just how big this story is says much. Luntz is a big time fraud, playing against US for ever... To be found sleeping with a supposed Republican leader is a sounding of a trumpet.
No it’s not a stupid story. Why is he renting from a pollster who has been a known gaslighter for some time? He certainly could have rented from somebody else. This just looks bad period.
GOP “leadership” is as incestuous as the Hapsburgs of yore.
I’m betting that nothing comes from this. Tucker is a sensationalist and this time he’s gone too far. I predict he’ll be off the air in 3 months or less.

The rather obvious problem is the GOP loathes its base.
They had House, Senate, and White House - and they decided to Investigate Trump. 3 years of Russia, and they lost the House.
Enter Nancy Corpsis.

Luntz makes a living by calling the Republican Voters hillbillies, goobers, and uneducated rubes.
And he’s very close to Joe Biden, who visited him in the Hospital.
I don’t watch Fox News any more but did something happen where Tucker went after Luntz like this like he stabbed Trump right in the back or something? My last recollections was Luntz was seen on Fox on a very regular basis, and he and Tucker have probably interacted on his very own show as a guest and they seemed cordial to each other. What happened? I like this Tucker.
Read between the lines. Luntz is a Dem hack and McCarthy is the leader of the house Republicans. McCarthy is that strapped for cash he’d have to bunk with Luntz like they are colledge roomates? Cmon...
He may be married, but that means nothing in DC.
What bothers me is that he has been comfortable that liberals & the MSM wouldn’t rat him out. He’s bought.
We really do need to drain the Swamp! There are few Conservatives in that town. Seeing the corruption and election fraud, it makes me wonder if they were truly elected by the voters. I suspect not.
“non partisan”? First off he is a “pollster”. Secondly he is tied to Google one of the biggest left leaning enterprises.
