House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) said in the aftermath of the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack that removing former President Trump through the 25th Amendment “takes too long,” according to the latest leaked recording of a call with top House GOP colleagues.

McCarthy, who is aiming to be Speaker if Republicans win the House majority in November, also said that what Trump did was “atrocious and totally wrong” but expressed opposition to impeachment on the call.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Time for McCarthy to join the other losers.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Tillis is a disgrace to the Tar Heel State.

Jesse Helms is jumping somersaults in his grave.

[Luke21]

Jesse was a great one. He took on Democrat money and bias and crammed it down their throats. NC has had garbage senators ever since.

It doesn’t really matter who you vote for. None of them are doing a thing to help stop WWIII.

[dragonblustar]

Exactly.

[TigersEye]

And the only faster way, barring assassination, is to steal an election.

Just another puke DC Rino who needs to go!!

[TheConservativeTejano]

He Lives with a Never Trumper Lobbyist! And Mitch is milking his Chinese connection and stroking the Deep State. Sounds like a problem to me.

Partner, It sounds to us that this guy McCarthy should be thrown out and not be our Speaker of the House.

It is going to be a red wave after the November election.

With the idiot friends like these folks who needs enemies.

[TheConservativeTejano]

That is what we are thinking.

SOB Kevin McCarthy is done for.

Biden needs it a lot more than Trump did. How long would that take?

[neverevergiveup]

Let’s just be honest. A very significant number of people in public office are white collar criminals. Their priority is to stay in office and keep the gravy train going for themselves.

[dadfly]

fake news alert: he’s not R-California. he’s R-Bakersfield. why is he still there Bakersfield? and why is the national house leader of the GOP from a blue state with like 5 GOP representatives out of 55?

Absolutely. And if they were actually naive enough to think they could withstand the onslaught of corruption, coercion, and easy money then they are either swayed by it all or blackmailed into complying with the system....or they find themselves deprived of campaign money and end up unelected in the next go round.

He’s an idiot. It would take no longer than two days. The Cabinet sends the letter, and he is removed. The president sends a letter to Congress saying he is not disabled.
If BOTH houses of Congress vote 2/3 they override the president’s letter and he is removed.

Simple, fast, and a little harder than Impeachment because you need BOTH houses instead of simple majority in the House and 2/3 in the Senate.

When someone pushes for 25th in lieu of impeachment, you may know you are dealing with a dim bulb.

[nickcarraway]

I think that’s accurate. It was only 15 days before he was leaving office.

[Georgia Girl 2]

He’s even worse than Ryno and Cantor.

[usnavy_cop_retired]

I vote for Kennedy. He has a way with words that will drive the MSM just as crazy as Trump does. Think about it, 24/7/365 verbal abuse of the Dems and their ridiculous comments will be epic.

[magua]

You are definitely onto something. And 82-year-old alcoholic owns Kevin McCarthy. What is he done for the Republican party? He has a perpetual hard on for Matt Gaetz that’s about it. Pelosi owns his ass.

[glimmerman70]

Do not make him minority.. Just another that will stab him in the back.

[SMARTY]

It’s a good thing these people are in politics because they’re too stupid to make it in the real world.

They are all outright criminals
