Kevin McCarthy and the Boss. Photo: Alex Wong/Getty Images It’s no big secret that a lot of congressional Republicans were horrified by the events of January 6, 2021, and Donald Trump’s role in making the Capitol riot happen. Party discipline and loyalty to the 45th president notwithstanding, watching violent yahoos bust through security and run through the hallowed halls of Congress you’ve worked so hard to inhabit had to be tough to take.
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, a serial Trump brownnoser, also publicly decried Trump’s conduct at the time. But privately he went a lot further. Per the Times, McCarthy told a group of GOP leaders on January 10 that he would pressure Trump to immediately resign, exclaiming, “I’ve had it with this guy.”
Cheney: Is there any chance? Are you hearing that he might resign? Is there any reason to think that might happen?McCarthy: I’ve had a few discussions. My gut tells me no. I’m seriously thinking of having that conversation with him tonight. I haven’t talked to him in a couple of days. Um, from what I know of him, I mean, you guys all know him too. Do you think he’d ever back away? But what I think I’m going to do is I’m going to call him. This, this is what I think.
