Kevin McCarthy gaslighting the country on live tv.

What an asshole. Trying to tell the nation that what they saw on television last night is something they did not see.

"You should't make him accountable for what people at the rally said...."

What is wrong with these republicans? Are they being blackmailed?

spoke against Obama at a McCain rally. He quickly took the microphone and corrected her right then and there. All tRump had to do was hold up his hand and tell the chanters to stop. But did he do that? No, he just stood there basking in their chants, smiling slyly. Then he carried on reading from the TelePrompTer, which included the part that brought on the chanting. It was ALL planned. So why would he stop it if it was getting the results he hoped it would? Gaslighting, indeed. Expect more of the same from McCarthy and others.

She fits right in with the Trumps. She tried to bribe Omarosa with a no-show job.
