When ya got nothing…
You join the GOP…
Just to play Devil’s Advocate, McCarthy wasn’t his party’s leader when the other 100 racist things King said happened so he may actually get exactly one iota of credit for doing something nobody else in his party did.
Ugh, I feel like I need to shower after defending that prick.
but just because you are not the leader ……
doesn’t mean you can’t stand up …… grab a mic …… and SAY SOMETHING ……
oh crickets —
Of course he didn’t say anything - it’s always ok if you’re a Republican.
What is really startling is how many minions clamor for more of the same.
Wasn’t leader, but was in leadership
“When I had a member of our conference say something that was, to me, abhorrent,” the minority leader said on Fox News, “we got together, not with the Democrats ,but with our own, in our own steering committee, and removed him from any committee at all.”
Tmw ‘the goose girl’ is a how to political manual.
This is the same Kevin McCarthy that attacks Sen. Warren ancestry?
I gotta say, McCarthy is not the sharpest knife in the tool kit. He was part of a leadership team that Eric Cantor was the brains of for god sake, need we say more? He is evidently a likeable guy, and he is trying really hard with his little intellectual capacity to square Trump, republican dogma, and reality, while attacking the opposition. Yes, he is flailing, but a smarter man would like flail around as well.
“Land O’Lakes, the agriculture cooperative, issued a stronger rebuke of King than anyone in Republican congressional leadership at the time when it announced later in October that its political action committee ‘will no longer support King’ with campaign donations.”
GOP “Leadership”: Literally weaker than butter.
When you got nothing but hypocrisy . . .
Not surprising coming from old lard…
But he did think Rohrbacher and Trump were being paid by Russia and decided to hush it up.
Hey, leave Steve King aside for a moment (a big ask, I know). Before McCarthy wants to criticize anyone for anti-Semitism, he can grovel, don a hair shirt, and apologize for stoking George Soros conspiracy theories (about as straight up anti-Semitic as you can get) and specifically for his pre-midterm election tweet (since quietly deleted I believe) stating that Republicans cannot permit Mike Bloomberg, Tom Steyer, and Soros (Jews all) to buy the election. In typically charming Republican fashion, that tweet came shortly after a pipe bomb was mailed to Soros. Oh, and he might want to start his criticisms with the Seine Drumpfenfuhrer, frequent purveyor of anti-Semitic tropes and neo-Nazi apologist extraordinaire.
Republicans are pouncing on this because it hits the trifecta for their base: a woman, Muslim, and brown. She apologized -which King never really did -and it’s time to move on.
McCarthy really is a uniquely stupid individual and that haughty, condescending face he puts on while attempting to muppet his talking points (photos for this article good examples) just makes me want to take a shit in his ear.
Someone beat you to it, I think a requirement of GOP membership is having shit for brains.
Sht. He left out years of HIS racism and veiled BS against ‘jews’…oh and Scalise too. But then they were ‘white boys’ and not brown skinned Muslims. Hypocritcal frauds…I hope it bites them in the a$$.
Appears AOC isn’t the only young woman that knows her stuff.
