How can this guy show his craven face?!?

Any person voting republican has no shame. They must not want a future for their children and grandchildren.

These tapes are just another example of the Kevin McCarthy playbook, which reflects the reality that he has no morality, no compunction about lying, no spine in any way, but is just a self-serving gum-flapper with no place in American government.

TRUMP: "Embrace your hate! Embrace your fear! Embrace your ignorance! Don't let the libs take those things away from you!"
GOP: "Yes! Yes! Such music to our ears, Donald Trump! What we've always wanted to hear! You are freeing us!"

Brave …Brave Sir Kevin … When the Truth ..Reared it’s ugly head … he bravely turned his back and fled & equivocated and babbled …

Soon they'll smell what they did.

Sounds like a big nothing burger only the drive-by media get so excited about.

He will be primaried just like his good RINO friend Liz Cheney... Of couse Mitch McConnell has his back... He's a bigger RINO than McCarthy... They both need to be replaced. McCarthy should enjoy his last term.

He's a the ringleader of the clowncar period

There are no Republicans. There are no Democrats. They are all less genuine than pro wrestlers. Do not look to anyone in DC for honest answers. Our best hope is to vote out all incumbents, regardless of their so-called party affiliation. If Nancy invites Kev-o to dinner, his deepest concern will be what wine to bring - He is in this for himself and he doesn't give a single f*** about you.

People got hurt and killed on the 6th of January way can't you be worried about that. Nobody on the Republican side that that wasn't anything but friendly and loving.
