Kevin McCarthy republican minority leaders statement exposes his unfitness for the job.

His claim the search warrant served was political and a weapon from the Democrats, when the head of the FBI was appointed by TFG and is a republican, and was based on and approved by a judge after adequate reasonable cause was considered and accepted . McCarthy has bragged in public the Benghazzi attacks against Hillary was politically motivated and done with intent to hurt her campaign. McCarty is now threatening AG Garland with the same tactics knowing nothing, why, or what the search was based on.

McCarthy has no place in Congress making or applying laws towards others when he acts this irresponsible to the rule of law. When people elect these lawless types of people into office nothing but bad happens. When they lie and ignore the rule of law, abuse their power to make themselves above the rule of law, everyone suffers.

The definition of "Republican" must include "cruel, selfish" and "stupid."

Shit, it was never necessary before.

It's just what happens when you put criminals in office.

It's become a tool of the KKK and Russia or whoever the highest bidder is now.

12. He must constantly kowtow to the most corrupt and dim of the KKKooks in the House

(which is pretty much all of them now) in order to keep his position of power, and that is the ONLY thing he cares about. I mean, he could lie about the truth he expressed after the coup attempt, then have that lie exposed with an actual recording of him saying the thing he denied... and instead of resigning in shame, he just doubled down on the KKKrazy. (They suck at almost everything, but are geniuses at being shameless.)

by very likely knowing nothing about the search but nevertheless loudly proclaiming that the DOJ "has reached an intolerable state of weaponized politicization."


The rule of law and civil society certainly suffer. I attribute much of it to the unbridled greed unleashed by Reagan that over 40 years has led to extreme selfishness and hatred of "big gubment"/society in general. And who is the High Priest of Selfishness? Guess.
