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

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."
