Kevin McCarthy is pushing Liz Cheney out for saying almost exactly what he said after January 6

On January 12, Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney announced that she would vote to impeach President Donald Trump for his role in inciting the violent insurrection as the US Capitol six days earlier.

"The President of the United States summoned this mob, assembled the mob, and lit the flame of this attack," Cheney said in a now famous/infamous quote. "Everything that followed was his doing."

The next day, on the floor of the House, Republican Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy said he would not vote for impeachment, but added this:

"The President bears responsibility for Wednesday's attack on Congress by mob rioters. He should have immediately denounced the mob when he saw what was unfolding. These facts require immediate action of President Trump."

Interviewed 3 people from Wisconsin this morning? All 3 Trump supporters. That is how they establish the right wing lie.

if Kev wants to push Cheney out because she agrees with Speaker Pelosi on a 911-type investigative commission into the Jan 6th domestic terrorist attack against the capitol? He seems desperate to avoid answering questions UNDER OATH about his conversation with Donnie that day.
