Unfortunately, Kevin has no shame. The Honorable thing would be for him to resign. No wonder people don't trust politicians.

[jogman]

No wonder the RNC said no to future Presidential debates. They’d have to answer to all the lies.

[jenniferbailey]

Tick Tock to the lot of them. They are despicable. Justice is coming and they will go through some things!

[worksbydandeprez]

Just a reminder that McCarthy was the one who "joked" that he thought Trump was one of two House members controlled by Putin.

[LaLadybug]

It's just one thing after another....SO MUCH PROOF! Yet, Trump walks free amongst us. When will he be charged for at least insurrection? It's sickening.

[summerrain]

If only he had denied it under oath!! Did he really imagine that Cheney hasn't turned over her phone records?

[nancyross]

It is so nice that McCarthy learned denial and projection so well from Trump that he forgot about those nasty tapes that catch one's every lie.

[turbosure]

It is scary that people this clumsy and seemingly incompetent came close to pulling this off. If everyone involved isn't punished to the fullest extent of the law there will probably be another attempt. And they may not be amateurs like this group.

[tomr]

Just one more reason the party of no back bones needs to go away.

[amosalphonso]

the Republican party is like a Circus where all the characters play to the tune of the ring leader. Hypocrisy beyond imagination.

[Picollus]

LOL. Liz Cheney must slowly enjoying the fact she sat on that recording for more than a year before leaking it today !

[usgator]

This is the same guy that said “there’s two people Putin pays: Rohrbacher and Trump”

And yet…

[farmerbill]

Pretty frustrating how these people are so spineless.

[Vertigoneardeath]

The greatness of our country is displayed by Maddows patriotism.

[GoonerGamer]

Is anyone even surprised Kevin Mcarty is a bold face liar? like who didn't already know this?

[tomjaramillo]

When your willing to be Trumps house maid, how can you be a honorable House Leader.

[todway]

"He's not telling the truth"? Please, for the love of God, call it what it is, Rachel. It's a LIE! We need to stop being nice. They aren't!!!

[charliemillangaga]

And yet, 99 % of the GQP defended and did nothing.

[zstork]

When you lie, you have to ask yourself, “is there a tape”? LOL. they got you Kevin!

[awakeningwithsusan]

This explains a lot about the rift between Liz and McCarthy!
