Now Kevin McCarthy calls January 6 a 'violent insurrection': GOP war deepens after Trump attacked Mitch McConnell for calling it an 'insurrection'

House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy has conceded that January 6th was a 'violent insurrection,' saying he agreed with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell's description of that day.

'No one would disagree with that,' McCarthy told reporters on Capitol Hill on Wednesday.

His clarification comes after McCarthy was mocked by Democrats for walking away from an ABC News reporter who was asking him about the Republican National Committee censure of Adam Kinzinger and Liz Cheney for serving on the committee investigating the insurrection.

No surprise here. He's spineless so caved quickly to pressure.

They have to keep using the "violent insurrection" language going. It's their only means to, using the 14th amendment, keep certain individuals from holding office again.

It WAS a violent insurrection. An ‘insurrection’ on the part of the FBI, DOJ and Capitol Police inciting violence, committing violence and MURDER, and illegally imprisoning innocent protestors in the DC Abu Ghraib Prison.

If J6 was a “violent insurrection” how come no one has been charged with insurrection?

What better way for the Dems to nail the coming elections than for the GOP leadership to surrender and chase their voters away?

What’s important is that Kevin McCarthy is up for election. If McCarthy runs unopposed then vote for a Democrat.

The RNC vote to censure REALLY got under their skin. It’s very apparent.

I was chatting with a fellow Creeper who thinks the RNC is hearing it from donors. And I’ve yelled in their ears several times when they call.

So the chasm is deepening between regular republicans and the “leadership” in Congress.

Their cozy little world of fund, elect, and reelect continues to be torn asunder.

A gigantic lie repeated by another traitor.

The only violence was perpetrated by Pelosi’s Capitol Police.

These liars and criminals MUST GO.

The ‘hail Mary’ pass here by the swamp is, if Trump can be charged with abetting an insurrection, he is constitutionally and forever ineligible to run for political office.

This is their goal. I guess McCarthy is all in on it now.

So I have been listening to Richard Baris's podcast as of late, the greatest pollster nobody knows about, but I am sure Freepers do.

* Baris denotes he can't even believe the numbers.
* PDJT is up 8% over LGB.
* McConnell's numbers are worse than Pelosi and KY can't stand him
* Right track/wrong track only 22% right.
* R's have a 7% advantage, when they won in 94' they were -2%
* Bannon say's they pick up 100 seats House and Senate and they Dem's are out of power for 100 years.

With all that said, with this fartknocker McCarthy why the heck should I vote in November?

So they can step on their Manly Bits for 2 yrs?

Do we get another 167 votes to repeal Obamacare?

Rhona at the RNC has got to go, and we need new leadership in the House and Senate, end of story. If not we are wasting our time IMHO....

Its a bit of a non-issue for voters, so Democrats and Democrat Assistants can cry about all they want but it won’t change any votes. Violent insurrectionists are usually well armed.

I am not “shocked” or “surprised” one iota. McCarthy is a Squish and has always been a Squish. Same as the Post Turtle, McConnell.

Quote of the day. Because it wasn’t but I am starting to believe it should have been…..these people have already proven they have no respect for the rule of law. They aren’t leaving us much choice.

Thank you DJT, and this is good news.

We need them to remove their masks.

Does anyone still doubt that Mitch $ McCarthy are working for the other side?
