House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) on Sunday refused to disclose the details of his call with then-President Donald Trump during the Capitol insurrection on Jan. 6, when McCarthy allegedly implored Trump to call off his supporters who were ransacking the Capitol.
While I wasn’t there, in fear for my life, but was here, in my snug apartment tucked away in the midwest, I think I can safely call bullshit, even from this distance.
Scenario A) McCarthy is telling the truth, Trump said he thought antifa was attacking the Capitol. Then why did he not send in the Nat. Guard and maybe ore? Isn’t that the job of the CIC?
Scenario B) McCarthy is telling the truth, Trump said he would make a video. Well, he did, proving Trump knew it was not antifa but his own supporters, unless he loves antifa and calls them “special”.
“I engaged in the idea of making sure we could stop what was going on inside the Capitol at that moment in time."
Something like, “Sir, can we have a discussion about what’s going on in the Capitol? Some of my people are afraid. No? OK.”
Profiles in courage, words of wisdom from a marshmallow.
According to all of the laws of physics to which I was exposed in my studies, a suit containing a vacuum should collapse onto itself. And yet, Kevin McCarthy.
If the comment about how the mob was more upset about the election than him was McCarthy’s description of the gist of the call, and he’s backing away from that now, then it seems very possible he plans to withhold some pretty damning evidence.
