Kevin McCarthy Claims Nobody is Questioning Legitimacy of 2020 Election

Either House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy had a temporary bout of amnesia on Wednesday, or he lied about the “Big Lie” by suggesting nobody is questioning the legitimacy of the 2020 election.

McCarthy and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell spoke to the White House press pool on Monday after an infrastructure meeting with President Joe Biden. This took place after McCarthy conducted the House Republican vote that morning to force Congresswoman Liz Cheney out of her role as GOP conference chairwoman because she refuses to fall in line behind former President Donald Trump and his 2020 election lies.

As McCarthy took questions, NBC’s Kristen Welker asked him about all of this, and he answered “I don’t think anybody is questioning the legitimacy of the presidential election. I think that is all over with. We’re sitting here with the president today.”

McCarthy’s statement completely ignores the fact that ever since Trump lost the election, he has falsely claimed over, and over, and over, and over again that the election was fraudulent and stolen from him. It was that rhetoric that fueled Trump’s supporters into violently attacking the U.S. Capitol to overturn the election’s certification, and Cheney has held Trump personally responsible for that ever since it happened.

Kevin McCarthy sends out text bashing 'Corrupt Joe Biden' within minutes of finishing White House infrastructure meeting

Brad Reed
May 12, 2021

House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) on Wednesday wasted no time bashing President Joe Biden shortly after attending a bipartisan White House meeting about a proposed infrastructure deal.

As noted by Newsweek White House reporter Elizabeth Crisp, McCarthy's campaign sent out an auto text message to supporters after the bipartisan infrastructure meeting ended in which he accuse Biden of pursuing a "radical Socialist agenda."

"I just met with Corrupt Joe Biden and he's STILL planning to push his radical Socialist agenda onto the American people," McCarthy wrote. "I need EVERY single patriot to step up... Fight back."

Crisp contrasted McCarthy's text to a White House readout of the meeting that stated Biden "enjoyed hosting" congressional leaders including McCarthy and "spent nearly two hours working with them to identify areas where they could collaborate."

1. Donald J Nobody, apparently

[patphil]

5. And all those 10's of millions of other nobodys that hang on his every word,

and are ready, willing, and able to do his bidding.

[ananda]

12. And 126 Reep congresscritters.

...

[CrispyQ]

2. Just like the Con. He says the most politically expedient thing at the moment,

who cares if it contradicts something he said five minutes ago, much less something he's been spouting for five month, now.

[brush]

3. What a piece of work McCarthy is. You never know what lie he'll tell next.

If trump calls him after hearing this McCarthy will again claim the election was not legitimate.

[RockRaven]

4. Maury, would you do the honors?

[True Blue American]

11. LOL

[EarlG]

6. Oh I get it

He had to force Liz Cheney out of her leadership position because she kept complaining that Republicans were lying about the election being illegitimate. Yet according to Kevin, "nobody" was questioning the legitimacy of the election. So that must make Liz Cheney, what just some crazy woman yelling about things that don't exist? Well then no wonder he had to get rid of her!

Oh, the gaslighting...

[ancianita]

19. But do

the 32 Republican women in the House. Pretty sure the 89 Democratic women duly noted it.

[marble falls]

7. OK, Kev, let's see if you believe that or not: who was legally and overwhelmingly elected ...

... President? Last name will do. You got three seconds ... go!

[Midnight Writer]

8. Funny. I just saw the two-faced bastard on TV saying they found some constructive common ground.

How do you deal with assholes like this?

[SledDriver]

9. Bullshit

[Champp]

10. So the republicans are lying about their lies

What a putrid pile of bullshit.

[MontanaMama]

13. That would be Kevin gas lighting again.

Sooooo predictable.

[PortTack]

14. There goes that speakership you wanted to continue

[dalton99a]

15. "Liz Cheney? We kicked her out just for fun"

[Biophilic]

16. How on earth do the Democrats in DC deal with someone like this?

I'm just sort of stunned. He actually says one thing out of one side of his mouth and then something different out of the other. You
can't make deals with people like this. They are totally untrustworthy. I'm just sitting her shaking my head. How can we possibly move forward? This is truly bizzaro world.

[Mr.Bill]

23. In the House of Representatives,

we don't have to deal with him. He is absolutely powerless to stop us.

[Biophilic]

26. Well that's true. Thanks. I was slipping off the deep end. These people just scare me

with their ability to do and say the things they do. I forget what an amazing group of people we have in DC and elsewhere. I think I can breathe again.

[Evolve Dammit]

17. Delusional at best. Lying sack of shit is more appropriate. The party of Nazis is gearing up. nt

[lagomorph777]

18. Kevin McNobody?

Who the fuck does he think he's fooling with the escalating crazy talk?

[onecaliberal]

20. Why was Liz Cheney ousted from her leadership Position.

I despise the republicans and their dangerous stupidity.

[Beaverhausen]

21. Has he met his caucus?

[Thomas Hurt]

22. and had Cheney removed from leadership positions for saying so...when does he resign?

[nuxvomica]

24. It's telling that he had to say "Corrupt Joe Biden"

That means his hold on the MAGA crowd is tenuous so he has to double-down on the name-calling to keep them from revolting. Not from being revolting, mind you, as that ship sailed long ago.

[11 Bravo]

25. A Republican lied his ass off???

I'm stunned, I tell you ... STUNNED!

[turbinetree]

27. SO shit for brains, was there a presidential election........

and what else is your party trying to pull out of its ass...red is green, white is blue........FU I would rather be radical socialist than a fucking insurrection supporting seditionist fascists' .........

[3catwoman3]

28. Not only are they liars, they aren't even...

...good liars. Do they not know there is video evidence of pretty much anything and everything they say in public?

LIARS LIARS LIARS LIARS LIARS LIARS LIARS - every damn one of them!

[japple]

29. Good ole' Whiplash McCarthy is campaigning hard for somebody, but he can't

keep it all straight. This man needs to be flushed down the toilet.

[Claire Oh Nette]

30. What happened to Truth in Adverstising?

How can "news" networks broadcast utter bullshit?
How can the Washington Press Corp not call this crap out?

McCarthy himself lay the blame for the insurrection right at Trump's feet the night of the insurrection. Why isn't that clip played 24/7? Why isn't footage of the insurrection played every time clueless, lying republican representatives weave fantasy of whole cloth and pretend it was a tour.

Is this why the GOP doesn't want high speed broadband to reach rural rubes and will vote against modernizing our infrastructure

[WVreaper]

31. His head

is so far up Trumps ass that he can not hear.

[George II]

32. He's saying that today. What will he say tomorrow? He's changed his tune so many times it's tough...

....to keep up with where he is at this moment.

[bucolic_frolic]

33. Corporate PR playbook - deny, deflect, reframe, ignore

[world wide wally]

34. Hey! That's what Liz Cheney said too.

[muriel_volestrangler]

35. " ... so stop saying that!"

Who knew Bob Boudelang had risen to lead the Republicans in the House?

[Rebl2]

36. Are we surprised?

NO!!!

[Warpy]

37. Uh, Kevin? They did that for MONTHS

and found out 2020 was likely the most legitimate election in US history. Every state was doing things strictly by the book because they knew sore loser assholes like you and your porcine Jebus on earth were going to cry foul, no matter what.

Kevin, honey, your idol just plain LOST. It happens, especially in politics. Some day, may it be soon, it is going to happen to you, too, unless you pick up your marbles and resign. It's something everybody going into politics needs to learn, that it's possible to cheat six ways from Sunday like the Republicans did and still lose, especially when a majority know you're jerks.

Kevin, you really need to stop flogging that long dead horse and stop making such an arse of yourself. You might not have much of a memory but we do.

[Martin Eden]

38. McCarthy was captured on video defecating on the House floor

He dropped trou, grunted a few times, then laid cable right on the marble floor -- all in front of the cameras.

When asked about it later he stated with confidence "That's not my shit."

^^metaphor^^

[DallasNE]

39. So, McCarthy, What Is The GOP Doing Right Now In Arizona?

Everything today is the big lie. How can a political party survive when every word out of their mouth is a lie. It does keep their worthless base fired up, I will give them that.

[Downtown Hound]

40. Guess this means we can stop that fraudulent recount. n/t
