Bombshell New Audio Destroys Kevin McCarthy’s Credibility And Could Damage His Career
forbes.com ^ | 4/22/22 | Terina Allen

Leaders, the most effective and successful ones, display solid integrity. And, effective leaders demonstrate courage and credibility. After you match McCarthy’s actions and decisions since January 6 against what he says on this newly released audio, it’s clear that Kevin McCarthy is violating many of the key leadership principles that credible leadership and executive development programs promote.

It appears that while McCarthy is the GOP leader by title, he doesn’t bind himself to demonstrating effective leadership. As such, it’s now reasonable to conclude that McCarthy is just making a raw grab for power—leadership principles, integrity, honor and credibility be damned.

Then there is Liz Cheney.

Just imagine what Representative Liz Cheney must be thinking about the leadership—or lack thereof—of Kevin McCarthy.

Cheney, a recently announced winner of a 2022 John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award (joining the likes of Ukrainian President Zelensky), is on the rise. Her leadership is getting noticed despite being thrown under the bus by McCarthy and others in GOP leadership.

Kevin McCarthy failed Liz Cheney. Not only is it his job to demonstrate leadership with her and other Republican representatives in Congress, it’s also his job to support those who demonstrate integrity and courage as well.

Republican Liz Cheney ousted from GOP Leadership; Kevin McCarthy failed to support her.

The audio recording, along with many other pieces of evidence, shows that McCarthy didn’t just fail to support Liz Cheney, he completely—and hypocritically—abandoned her.

Now don't be fooled. They are trying to take out an opposition leader to throw the GOP into disarray.

They did what they had to to take out effective leaders like Newt Gingrich and then Tom Delay. And as a result we got pantywaists or blackmailable leaders like Dennis Hastert the pedophile, John Boehner the drunk, Paul Ryan the worthless and we almost had Eric Cantor the even more worthless.

In this instance, we don't mind them assisting us in removing McCarthy, because he's one of them anyway.

They wanted Liz Cheney to eventually be Speaker, and McCarthy assisted in that in putting her into leadership after only one term (but she was an Oligarch heir so that was ok).

But Cheney will be gone next January. And they are SOOOOO pissed at that.

This is our chance to get REAL leadership in the House, so we can have REAL bills, not endless continuing resolutions with everything bundled into one bill just before Christmas every year.

Does a person need to have credibility before it can be destroyed?

the GOP chose McCarthy BECAUSE he supports Biden,
BECAUSE he supports Obama,
BECAUSE he supports ObamaCARE and RomneyCARE, and
BECAUSE he supports stealing donations made to Pres. Trump.

Does the putz who wrote this piece believe they can rehabilitate Cheney to the point she returns to a leadership position? Delusional.

McCarthy telling Liz Cheney he is going to ask for Trump's resignation IS THE DEFINITION OF DISARRAY. If there is talk about asking for someone's resignation, it should be Jim Jordan asking for McCarty' resignation. He's toast, untrustworthy, exhibits horrible leadership skills even talking to Cheney about this matter.

McCarthy belongs in the Bohener,Ryan camp, i.e. a duplicitous creature of the swamp.

Bingo!!! That’s all they have. The rats are desperate and the media along with them will do whatever needs to be done to destroy the Republicans. Unfortunately I would not doubt if those bastards who backstabbed Trump for four years would’ve loved more than anything to remove him from office. Sad that after all the evidence of a hoax perpetrated on the president these bastards still rather have anyone but Trump. Those POS need to be booted out of office and replaced with American loving MAGA folk! Spineless pieces of crap McConnell , Lindsey Graham, McDaniel, McCarthy and the rest of the establish elitist swamp BASTARD RINOS! For goodness sakes get rid of them!

Uh...Yeah. That would help. McCarthy sure as Hell doesn’t have any credibility at all. Never has. Boehner Lite.

Spot on! The details are trivial nothings. The real game is power.

So what I heard in the recording was not that he thought Trump had done something wrong and should leave. Only that he he was sure the house would impeach and he was afraid that the senate might convict. He thought Trump should cut his losses.

For sure, disloyalty on cheney’s part, but at worst, wishy washiness (ala pence) on mccarthy’s part.

Only Gaetz, Greene, and Boebert will criticize McCarthy for this. The rest are beholding to McCarthy for campaign money.
