During this week’s broadcast of FNC’s “Sunday Morning Futures,” House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) addressed what measures Congress may take in its oversight role following the collapse of the Afghanistan government and takeover by the Taliban after the U.S. military withdrawal.

McCarthy did not offer specifics but acknowledged Congress’ role.

From the Breitbart piece...

... we have a constitutional responsibility to hold people accountable.

Says the alleged Republican who defended the Liz Cheney.

-- It is a mistake to want to destroy the US. --

That depends which side you are on, and what "destroy" means.

-- Man's history is a history of slavery and totalitarianism. --

By and large true. US inverted the historical norm in its Declaration of Independence.

-- Our country is not perfect, but it was set up to allow our citizens some measure of freedom. --

Leadership of every country and state makes that claim. They get to define "the measure of freedom."

There is a good argument to be made that at the end of the Vietnam War, the Democrats were terrified to incontinence that Nixon would conduct “Who is responsible for losing Vietnam?” hearings in public. So they took what otherwise was a minor scandal, Watergate, and put it forward as a ‘trading card’ against those hearings.

But mysteriously, Nixon did not convene those hearings. Plus he had a weak and guilty response to the Watergate accusations. So the Democrats decided to run with it.

So once again, the wheel turns. And President Trump, in his second term, may have the option, as well as a Republican congress, to have such hearings again. Oddly enough, less as a punitive expedition against the Democrats, than a golden opportunity to conduct a far reaching emetic and laxative purge of the Pentagon and State Departments. And maybe even the CIA and indirectly, the FBI and Justice Department.

I couldn’t give a tinkers damn about Afghanistan compared to our stolen 2020 election. The Afghanistan debacle is downstream from the 2020 steal/coup.

McCarthy is a joke.

McCarthy has been very busy, lots of promises of action. I’ll bet he can’t wait to become majority leader so he can stop doing anything for the people he represents.

"McCarthy: We Have a Constitutional Responsibility to Hold People Accountable for Afghanistan."

Camera turns off and then McCarthy takes of his fake balls and tells and aid to rewrite him up a mean letter.

What are useless tool McCarthy is.
