Confirmation of McCarthy phone call

From Congresswoman Jamie Herrera Beutler’s Facebook page


CNN reported as “news” today a detail from the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol that I’ve shared repeatedly over the last month. Frankly, I’m a little surprised – it’s an important point I included in my January 12 statement in support of the article of impeachment where I referenced a conversation House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy relayed to me that he’d had with President Trump while the January 6 attack was ongoing.

To confirm again, here are the details:

When McCarthy finally reached the president on January 6 and asked him to publicly and forcefully call off the riot, the president initially repeated the falsehood that it was antifa that had breached the Capitol. McCarthy refuted that and told the president that these were Trump supporters. That’s when, according to McCarthy, the president said: “Well, Kevin, I guess these people are more upset about the election than you are.”

Since I publicly announced my decision to vote for impeachment, I have shared these details in countless conversations with constituents and colleagues, and multiple times through the media and other public forums.

I told it to the Daily News of Longview on January 17. I’ve shared it with local county Republican executive board members, as well as other constituents who ask me to explain my vote. I shared it with thousands of residents on my telephone town hall on February 8.

And to the patriots who were standing next to the former president as these conversations were happening, or even to the former vice president: if you have something to add here, now would be the time.

1. The vote NOT to impeach and the Mar-a-Lago trip

Sorry. Kevin McCarthy does not get a pass for these actions AFTER the fact of his phone call with Trump on January 6th. McCarthy needs to answer for that.
