House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) was reportedly caught on a hot mic Tuesday fuming over Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) and announcing that he’s “had it” with the number three Republican, whose critique of former President Donald Trump has stood in the way of advancing the alternate reality his party is pushing.
“The Republican Party seems to be spending a lot of blood, sweat and tears trying to figure out where they stand and what they stand for,” she said.
Trying to understand the mindset of a Republican is like trying to understand what a '68 Buick is thinking.
Never attribute to malice that which is accurately explained by stupidity.
All Cheney has to do is challenge Trump to a public debate and the MSM back her up.
What is it with Qevin and hot mics?
The newspaper report quoted McCarthy saying, “There’s two people I think Putin pays: Rohrabacher and Trump.”
“I haven’t heard members concerned about her vote on impeachment,” McCarthy said, suggesting that concern more stemmed from “what’s our best step forward that we can all work together instead of attacking one another.”
Let me fix this for you: “If you are not wholly and completely invested in all that Trump says, you are not a voice of the Republican Party.”
Nah. It’s malice with a helping of spite and thin skin.
“I think she’s got real problems,” McCarthy reportedly told Fox News’ Steve Doocy ahead of a “Fox and Friends” interview on Tuesday,
And no such issue with representatives Greene or Boebert?
Either McCarthy doesn’t know what those words mean or he’s confusing opposition to his authoritarian leader with some kind of general personal disfunction.
Well, someone just has to bring a motion, but I assume that will probably take place,
Now that’s the kind of bold, decisive leadership a political party needs!
How long before he complains about how emotional she’s being?
So is this where we see Dick rise up out his crypt and smite to the unwashed enemies of his daughter [thanks @cassandram & @tindalos]?
“The off-air frankness came as McCarthy publicly put forward a drastically pared down version of his posture when asked about the conference chair during the interview.”
I’ve seen stiffer spines on sodden paperbacks dropped in port-a-potties.
Let’s talk about Matt Gaetz…a real man of integrity
In the case of the Republicans it is more like trying to understand what Stephen King’s Christine is thinking.
this firmly puts him on the record — even if it was accidental.

So was this on the record:
The President bears responsibility for Wednesday’s attack on Congress by mob rioters.
Well at least Rand and Mitch seem to have figured this “hot mic” thing out.
Clearly the issue is that the Rethuglicant Party as a whole has no idea where they stand no what they stand for. They are just against everything, especially American democracy.
Fire away, you dim bulbs, fire away!

Nothing good…
