McCarthy trying to get out ahead of tomorrow's report from General Honore.

McCarthy: ..."General Honore's notorious partisan bias calls into question the rationality of appointing him to lead this important security review. It also raises the unacceptable possibility that the Speaker desired a certain result: turning the Capitol into a fortress.”

Hawley to chime in as well, but maybe he's preoccupied with the fact that the FBI is cross-checking his phone records.

Yeah, that’s why Bush and the GOP chose him to do the critique of the government’s failure with Katrina.

He's reliably wrong, is the best face I can put on it. In Science Fiction terms, it's a mirrorworld - it's all backwards and wrong, the polarities of reality have gone all sideways, they're trying to use Edison rules with Tesla current.

General Honore is one of the most non-partisan figures out there . Komrade Kevin is deluded.

Is and he’s not the sharpest tool in the box. He had a big frat drunk guy reputation in college. He got ahead by being a kiss ass they told me. Seems his lips are permanently affixed to MF45’s big fat ass. Lying has become second nature to him.

Hopefully, Democratic, but he's always been nonpartisan in his high-profile assignments.
