As reported earlier — On Thursday The New York Times investigative reporters Jonathan Martin and Alex Burns released passages from their latest book “This Will Not Pass: Trump, Biden, and the Battle for America’s Future.”
In the book the two claimed that GOP House Leader Kevin McCarthy told Liz Cheney on a January 10, 2021 call that he would counsel Trump to resign before the end of his term.
When the claims within the book broke early in the news, McCarthy’s spokesman Mark Bednar refuted them saying, “McCarthy never said he’d call Trump to say he should resign.”
McCarthy himself called the claims about his conversations “totally false” when The New York Times reported on them earlier in the day.
Then he got caught.
Rachel Maddow leaked the private phone call on her show on Thursday night of House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy with Trump-hating lunatic Liz Cheney on January 10, 2021.
During the call, McCarthy told Liz Cheney that he would counsel President Trump Trump to resign. This is exactly what the book reported. Liz Cheney released the call to the authors. And now Kevin McCarthy was caught in a lie.
From the call:
Kevin McCarthy: “I think [impeachment resolutions] will pass, and it would be my recommendation you (President Trump) should resign… What he did is unacceptable. Nobody can defend that and nobody should defend it.”
McCarthy also indicated that he believed Twitter and Facebook should delete the accounts of lawmakers who were supporting Trump’s claim of a rigged election. “We can’t put up with that,” he said. “Can’t they take their Twitter accounts away, too?”
McCarthy was caught. He can’t deny it.
In an interesting twist, FOX News refused to report on this story on Kevin McCarthy. They protected him following this embarrassing and explosive development.
There was a boycott on McCarthy’s explosive statements. FOX News circled the wagons around their favorite Kevin McCarthy.
Then this happened…
FOX News reporter Bill Melugin confronted Kevin McCarthy on his lies during his trip to the open US border in Texas on Monay.
Then on Tuesday night Tucker Carlson totally threw down on McCarthy for tossing his Caucus members under the bus and pushing to silence them online.
Tucker warned Republicans of electing Kevin McCarthy as House Speaker if Republicans gain control of the US House in 2023.
Tucker Carlson: “He told his close friend Liz Cheney that he hoped the social media companies would censor more conservative Republicans in Congress. Donald Trump the sitting president was already silenced by those companies. but McCarthy wanted the tech oligarchs to do more. To force disobedient lawmakers off the internet. “Can’t they take their Twitter accounts away too?” Those are the tape-recorded words of congressman Kevin McCarthy, a man who in private, it turns out, sounds like an MSNBC contributor… Unless conservatives get their act together right away, Kevin McCarthy, or one of his highly liberal allies, like Elise Stefanik, is very likely to be speaker of the House in January. That would mean we will have a Republican Congress led by a puppet of the Democratic Party.”
