Kevin McCarthy is trying to get back in Donald Trump’s good graces — but he could wind up making more people unhappy in the process.
McCarthy’s public and private efforts to smooth things over with Trump shows just how much he still needs the MAGA wing of the party on his sideYet the next two years could prove tricky for McCarthy as he tries to win back the majority and prevent his bitterly divided party from erupting into an all-out civil war.
That might explain why McCarthy’s response to the riots has been all over the map, at least in the eyes of some in the GOP. Several House Republicans say McCarthy — an affable people-pleaser who prides himself on his fundraising skills and“This is vintage Kevin McCarthy. He says yes to everybody, tries to make everybody happy,” said one GOP lawmaker, who was granted anonymity to speak more freely. “And it always comes back to bite you in the butt.
“I have not changed in that [position],” McCarthy said on Gray Television’s “Full Court Press With Greta Van Susteren.” “I thought the president had some responsibility when it came to the response. If you listen to what the president said at the rally, he said, ‘demonstrate peacefully.’” But over the past four years, McCarthy has built his political identity around his close relationship with Trump, emerging as one of his closest and most reliable conservative allies on Capitol Hill. And it’s a reputation that McCarthy appears eager to maintain, even in the wake of thebattle for the future of the GOP — could put McCarthy in a bind.
McCarthy has a shout and can’t speak, he’s a weakly. Realize, people who have been living here for years without legal SS s work but don’t pay taxes. Employers do want a change because they would have to pay employee tax and health ins. Reverse this and the economy thrives.
Cancel this dude!
I find it amazing the party who wanted to shoot all the BLM rioters last summer are the same ones who think overthrowing our government is ok. I simply cannot figure out this logic
What is wrong with these grow men? They have no sense of self! How are they in leadership positions when they are the biggest sycophant followers?
We are 74+ strong Vote out the RINO's
The funny thing is that liberals foot soldiers might at some point realize, is that the dem leadership diesn't want to move on from trump either...fact. Just take a look around folks...🤗
McCarthy butt-kisses his way back to Trump's sphincter.
kevenmccarthy must decide where does is loyalty lies.
Trump will continue to push the GOP around with his threats to break away. The GOP will knuckle under in the end.
We need fewer McCarthys in our public discourse, whether they be Jospeh’s or Kevin’s.
Senator Rubio, Remember when you were Little Marco? Well, you just got a lot littler because, despite Trump's insurrection, you won't grow a spine and vote to impeach him. But still, get ready for his daughter, Ivanka, to run for your seat and he throws you under the nearest bus!
Does he think he has a chance at being President!? He’s no Ronald Reagan. LOL More like Dan Quayle.
Imagine being a United States Senator and ending up here. There needs to be actual testing of some sort or something. Every day I’m still embarrassed, even with Trump gone. We’re never going to be purged back to normalcy, are we?
McCarthy has a bigger problem than Boehner or Ryan and he's failing miserably. The Q wing is much worse than the Tea party. McCarthy should accept accountability and resign. He's a political liability.
Despicable ass kissing zero morals twat.
Another Nazi 🍕💩
SenateGOP Over 400,000 Americans dead from COVID. An insurrection on the capital left 5 people dead. 8 million people have fallen into poverty over the last 6 mths. WHY would you want to be associated with this? ImpeachAndConvict
Traitor
Imagine being a coward living in fear of a loser.
If Dems can stay moderate and not be pulled too progressive, commonsense Republicans— sick of this MAGA conspiracy culture will leave.
Do not people see how unreliable this makes him?
Duh 🙄
Is there actually a non-MAGA wing?
