Maddow Blog Fresh evidence that Kevin McCarthy appears to be regressing
The version of House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy who spoke at a Capitol Hill press conference yesterday was not exactly the same as the version of McCarthy we saw last year. The trouble is, the latest iteration is much worse.
A week after the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, for example, the California Republican appeared on the House floor and declared that Donald Trump bears responsibility for the insurrectionist violence. Yesterday, a reporter asked McCarthy if he still agrees with his own statement. He responded:
As a factual matter, this didnt make any sense. A group of pro-Trump radicals attacked our democracy and our seat of government, and the idea that everybody in the United States is partly to blame for the violence is both ridiculous and at odds with traditional conservative values regarding personality responsibility.
But just as important is the fact that McCarthy used to know better. We know this for sure because he got this right last year, both publicly and privately.

(15,100 posts)To put it bluntly. He truly knows what the right thing to do is, but he really really really wants to be the Speaker of the House (never gonna happen Kev) so he has to kiss TFG's butt along with all the lunatics in his caucus.
I hope he looks at Liz Cheney and understands how he has failed his oath of office.
