House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) had an embarrassing moment on “60 Minutes” Sunday, when co-host Scott Pelley read the concerning excerpt from the transcript of the call between President Donald Trump and Ukraine.

McCarthy was asked about Trump’s quote, “I would like you to do us a favor, though.”

“You just added another word,” McCarthy claimed.

“No, it’s in the transcript,” Pelley corrected him.

“He said- ‘I’d like you to do a favor, though’?” McCarthy asked.

“Yes, it’s in the White House transcript,” Pelley explained to McCarthy.

1. i might give him two stumps, no more.

2. That's what happens when you only read the talking points from the WH.

I'm sure he, like all the others, only read the talking points and marching orders from the White House. They don't think for themselves.

[ffr]

3. That's a great face!

Love the exchange.

4. It's kind of amazing to me that none of these people take the talking points given by Trump's WH,

and hand them off to a staffer with the order "hey, tell me which ones aren't ridiculous bullshit and if you can't find any, fix them up or even write some new ones"

Hell, if you step out of line on the message of the day, but you do so by making a BETTER (well, LESS BAD) argument, is anyone really going to be mad that you aren't in line?

5. In defense of Kevin, he did say who was on Russia's payroll. And he has a nice tan.

other than that he is an complete fucking asshole.

6. He looks like the kind of guy who'd try to sell you a boat.

8. Why is it that the GOP doesn't take the time to read anything not bullet-pointed? None of them ...

read the WH provided transcripts but they all read the talking points.

7. He does look rather dumb.

Perfect Republican face.

9. KEVAN & RUMP USE THAT SAME ORANGE TANNER CRAP ON THEIR FACES. look like garbage

[Faux pas]

10. The

stumps are much smarter

[struggle4progress]

11. "I guess I really should learn to read"

[JDC]

12. These folks are so used to unchecked lying on Fox, just one on the spot pushback

And they crumble like saltines.
