House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy Tuesday warned American telecommunication companies not to turn over records related to an investigation by House Democrats into the January 6 Capitol Hill riot.

"Adam Schiff, Benny Thompson, and Nancy Pelosi’s attempts to strong-arm private companies to turn over individuals’ private data would put every American with a phone or computer in the crosshairs of a surveillance state run by Democrat politicians," the California Republican said in a statement to Fox News’ Tucker Carlson. "If these companies comply with the Democrat order to turn over private information, they are in violation of federal law and subject to losing their ability to operate in the United States. If they pursue this path, a Republican majority will not forget and will be ready to hold them fully accountable under the law."

More lip service from Kevin.

Law? What law?

Demonrats don’t need no steenking law!

Demonrats are ABOVE the law.

[Lurkinanloomin]

Kevin is so cute when he pretends to care about deplorables.....

[Gene Eric]

Out of curiosity, what egregious activity occurred that wasn’t staged?

[Starboard]

If they pursue this path, a Republican majority will not forget and will be ready to hold them fully accountable under the law.

Nobody takes anything he says seriously. The GOP is a total joke.

[Fido969]

This is a wimpy response.

If the pubs had brains, they would come up with a collective response: “Show Nancy Pelousy’s first!”

That would shut this down in a heartbeat.

Won’t forget? Too funny. The only thing the GOP doesn’t forget is contact info for donors.

[robel]

Does he really think that anyone is intimidated anymore by the GOP?

[Vaduz]

Adam Schiff, Benny Thompson, and Nancy Pelosi and party.

Stalin dreamers at work.

[1Old Pro]

The lack of privacy and the purging of social media accounts is and has been subject to major abuse. The GOP needs to make this a major priority one they regain Congress. I’d hope they have a plan ready to go.

These companies have about as much to fear from McCarthy and the GOP as the Taliban and other U.S. enemies have to fear from the Biden Administration.

Their shaking in their Gucci Boots Kevin...

[Kickass Conservative]

Oops...

“They’re” shaking in their Boots Kevin...

[alternatives?]

After 8 months what difference does it make? What is left to turn over?

Must be time for a big fund raising push.

[Leep]

The data created by deep state pretending to orchestrate a insurecrion?

[usconservative]

Yeah. McCarthy won’t forget just like Biden won’t forget.

[Badboo]

Awww, is Frankie's sleeping blankie upset??? Needs his huggy bear, quick!

[Gene Eric]

+1

And the cooperation from Big Tech

[EinNYC]

Tough talk from a proven wimp.

[The Antiyuppie]

“I’d hope they have a plan ready to go.”

No point about dreaming about this until after a RINO primary purge in 2022.
