Two members of the GOPe caucus supporting McCarthy.
Hillary Clinton of course, made use of this McCarthy gaffe in a New Hampshire townhall hosted by NBC’s “Today” show co-host Savannah Guthrie on Monday:
“This committee was set up, as they have admitted, for the purpose of making a partisan political issue out of the deaths of four Americans,” she said. “I would never have done that, and if I were president and there were Republicans or Democrats thinking about that, I would have done everything to shut it down.”
Throughout the interview, Clinton referenced McCarthy’s comments — made during a contentious interview with Fox News Channel’s Sean Hannity — as a means to do something she’s been unable to do ever since the e-mail story broke in March: Play offense.
McCarthy would be worse than Cryin’ Johnny Boehner!
So McCarthy puts his foot in it within 48 hours of his name being raised for the new Speaker of the House.
Its Nature’s way of saying - NO, this clown is NOT the guy.
Pelosi lost the congress and yet the dumbocraps will still vote for her to lead them?
What the hell kind of evil witch she must be
Perhaps Boehner can autograph the bucket for old times sake.
Today saying the obvious is spun by the press and gop-e as tough stuff.
If he apologized he’s a friggin idiot!
She got our ambassador and other brace Americans killed and lied about it.
Republicans apologize to that lowlife Hilary? They still never learn.
McCarthy is evidently a retard.
Kevin McCarthy should see that if he is getting jumped on by other conservatives for this one remark, it must be because they want someone else for that position. Step aside, Kevin.
I am getting so cynical that I think that McCarthy did this at the behest of the DC Cartel to help Hillary.
This was such a bone headed move.
Or maybe, it was a Boehner-headed move.
Better to find out what an idiot he is now than after the GOP votes him into the position. Will they be dumb enough to vote for him anyway?
When we were kids my dad would tell us: “Sorry doesn’t catch it.” Yes there are some things that sorry doesn’t cover.
I think the GPOe better find someone other than McCarthy or Chaffetz. Both are tainted.
Trey should have told him, drop out of the speaker race to show us how much you are sorry for your moronic gaff...
NO KEVIN MCCARTHY!!!
I’m no McCarthy fan—I’d much rather see Gowdy in the spot—but I still don’t get the fuss about what McCarthy said to Sean (and neither did Sean at the time). McCarthy was stating a case of cause and effect, not partisan politics. Ants are more likely to appear at a picnic if crumbs are loose and plentiful, but that doesn’t prove that someone deliberately laid out the crumbs for that purpose. Hillary’s poll numbers waned because the facts (finally!) became known and were believed. That airing a believed truth affected her poll numbers is undeniable, but giving her a forum to be perceived as a victim (a degree in which she and hubby have doctorates) would have been a really stupid risk for the pubbies to take if they weren’t already pretty certain of their own facts. SHE caused her numbers to drop, not Gowdy’s or any other, committee.
I guess that in the House of Representatives only the idiots rise to the top.
