Adam Kinzinger says GOP leaders think their voters are 'dumb' as audio emerges of Kevin McCarthy say
Source: Business Insider
saying he'd ask Trump to resign over Jan. 6
Rep. Adam Kinzinger of Illinois reacted to the leaked audio that showed House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy saying he'd ask Donald Trump's resignation as president after the Capitol riot, saying it showed that Republican leaders thought their voters were "dumb."
Kinzinger, who is one of two Republicans serving on the House committee investigating the riot, was addressing the Thursday release of audio in which McCarthy told GOP leaders he held Trump accountable for the riot.
In the audio, which was recorded shortly after the insurrection, McCarthy is heard telling colleagues that he planned to ask the then-president to resign.
McCarthy now portrays himself as an adamant Trump loyalist. Hours before the release of the audio, he denied planning to ask Trump to resign over the riot.

They just can't appear to be trying to trash Trump, and lose his voters.
So they are letting the Dems do their dirty work of taking out Trump, and play innocent bystanders so that the Trumphumpers will still be loyal to the Republican Party and Republican Candidates when Trump gets trashed by the Dems......
