The leader of the Republican caucus in the House of Representatives told colleagues Monday that President Donald Trump bears some responsibility for Wednesday’s riot at the Capitol, two sources told NBC News.

Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy of California also did not rule out supporting a motion to censure Trump for his actions, according to the report.

Does he think the failure to hold a fair and transparent election that was obviously a fraud has any influence?

Primary out every Republican incumbent. Even if you think your vote doesn’t matter, do it anyway.

I’ll give Trump some blame.

And more to Biden, Pelosi, Harris and all those who really did support violence. And who probably let the demonstrators in on purpose.

So many freepers now are really upset about big companies withdrawing their”donations” to GOP politicians.

Show of hands.

The GOP killed itself. 2022 won’t even be close. They turned their backs on America.

First, there was no riot.

Second, only Bush League Republicans get to leadership in the GOP, McCarthy has always been one.

Washington is a septic tank, and so many in the GOP are all too happy to be part of the sh*t.
