New York Times reporters Alexander Burns and Jonathan Martin offered a recording on Tuesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “The Rachel Maddow Show,” allegedly of House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy telling Rep. Liz Cheney that he would recommend to then-President Donald Trump that he should resign.
Earlier today, a spokesman denied the report that McCarthy called for Trump’s resignation from the upcoming book, “This Will Not Pass: Trump, Biden, and the Battle for America’s Future,” authored by Burns and Martin.
Partial transcript as follows:
CHENEY: I guess there’s a question. When we’re talking about the 25th Amendment resolution, and you asked if, you know, what happens if it gets there after he’s gone, is there any chance, are you hearing, that he might resign, is there any reason to think that might happen?
MCCARTHY: I’ve a few discussions. My gut tells me no, I’m seriously thinking of having that conversation with him tonight. I haven’t talked to him in a couple of days. From what I know of him, I mean you guys know him too, do you think he’d ever back away? But, what I think I’m going to do, is I’m going to call him. This is what I think, we know it’ll pass the House.
I think there’s a chance it’ll pass the Senate, even when he is gone. And I think there’s a lot of different ramifications for that. Now, I haven’t had a discussion with the DEMs, that if he did resign, with that happen? Now, this is one personal fear I have. I do not want to get into any conversation about Pence pardoning. Again, the only discussion I would have with him is that, I think this will pass. And it will be my recommendation you should resign. I mean, that would be my take.

McCarthy AND Scalise must resign from leadership. They are two worthless turds and the cause of many problems.
I DO NOT WANT McCARTHY AS HOUSE SPEAKER!!!!
Cheney and McCarthy need to resign.
IMMEDIATELY
but but he DENIED THIS today....
........lol..
145 GOP House members voted for Liz Cheney in Feb 2021, they ALL need to be replaced.
Bush League Republicans are the only ones allowed into leadership because we keep electing a majority of Bush League Republicans.
We will NEVER Make America Great Again by re-electing Assistant Democrats.
Maddow is not credible, and NBC has been known to doctor tapes before. And this is not relevant to the things that matter to the American people.
That said, this tape is pretty bad. But it’s being used to try to derail the GOP in the election, and it won’t work.
Bush League Republicans need to be derailed, right out of office.
Assistant Democrats are all they are.
True — and I don’t trust Madcow or NBC as far as I can throw a piano.
Those lying republicans stand for nothing!
Their vote is for the person they can get the most from.
To stand with miss liz, you have to sell yourself to what you think she is offering that you need.
I wouldn’t stand with a double crosser back stabber. She turns everything ugly.
They all have to be fired. Not a one of the old gusrd can stay... OUT!!!!
Was Renee Ellmers sleeping with Kevin McCarthy?
Oct 9, 2015 — Political observers have noted the close relationship between Ellmers and McCarthy.
Good Choice....
Does anyone know if there is a RINO scorecard tracking the votes and positions of politicians?
I have a primary coming up, and I don’t know how my Rep voted on the big coup issues.
McCarthy (and Cheney, for that matter) is part of the same pond scum as the lefturds, just the other side of the pond.
I am wholly disgusted with all these self-serving a$$clowns in DC...
Obviously Lizard Cheney gave Rachael that recording!!! BOTH MUST GO!!!!!
McCarthy is a LIAR.
It is he who should resign from not only as House Minority leader but from
his House Seat.
The GOP didn’t want to do anything about the stolen Election, so punish Trump for fighting it.
I’m confused. Was he recommending Trump resign during the impeachment or after January 6th? And why would he resign, when Biden would be taking over in a few days, plus when Trump was not recognizing the results of the election?
