Amash calls McCarthy incompetent, dishonest after '60 Minutes' interview

[ffr]

Independent Rep. Justin Amash (Mich.) on Sunday hit Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (Calif.) over an interview the Republican House leader did about the impeachment inquiry against President Trump.

"Kevin McCarthy again displays his unique brand of incompetence and dishonesty," Amash tweeted along with a video of he interview with CBS's "60 Minutes."

McCarthy couldn't have made a better case for his voting yea on impeachment than his uneducated remarks tonight. He's clueless, let alone patriotic.

1. Smarmy, lying, in denial MF

[ffr]

2. I upchucked at his pandering at 0:57. Not genuine. Not believable.

Classic pandering, then he gets cut off. Answer the question.

4. And, yet you still have a strong

constitution for watching it. I couldn't get anywhere near. You watch 'cause some of us won't.

Mahalo, frr

5. Completely understandable.

This one is easy to watch though. McCarthy comes across like the 4th grader who watched TV all weekend instead of doing his homework. Even has the moment, deer in the headlights, duh, duh...

[Cha]

6. Doesn't speak too well for

his cause, eh. Sounds like he must have known he was full of shite

[KPN]

3. Astounding! Totally flagrant disregard or lack of awareness. Either wayhese

fuckers actually hope to bluff and bully tRump's -- and their way -- out of this. Typical GOP behavior; just more glaring and blatant than usual.

Scott Pelley was relentless. My hat's off to him for keeping those dagger eyes trained on that worm McCarthy. He didn't let up. Didn't give McCarthy an inch. At least not in that clip. I'll have to watch the entire thing later. Thank you Scott Pelley!!

7. "Unique"?

The entire GOP, except for perhaps Amash, is dishonest and incompetent.

8. Mr McCarthy sounds really dumb.

In fact, he is really dumb. Anyone who continues to support Trump is either corrupt themselves or stupid. Perhaps Kevin is both.

9. I know somebody who knows him personally and said he is frat boy dumb

And they are surprised he got where he is because he is a dim bulb. Even his family members are amazed he is Minority leader. Stupid and ignorant enough to take a job he will be doomed at.

10. Nancy Pelosi is the Speaker.

12. He isn't Speaker of the House, Pelosi is

[Bluepinky]

14. He just looks stupid and sounds more stupid when he talks.

He wasn’t chosen House Minority Leader for his brains, that’s for sure. It must have been because his peers know he will always stay on message because he’s just too dumb to realize what the truth is.

11. He's not that bright. I have no idea why they made him leader other than no one else wanted it?

[Botany]

13. "There's two people I think Putin pays: Rohrabacher and Trump," McCarthy said,

“There’s two people I think Putin pays: Rohrabacher and Trump,” McCarthy said, according to Entous, a superb reporter who heard a tape recording of the colloquy. “Swear to God.”

16. They are trying to treat the whistleblower like the "dodgy dossier"

Never mind that no part of the dossier has been PROVEN false and much has been shown to be accurate---attack the source instead of the facts! If they hadn't turned over the transcript, these talking points might work. However--

The transcript that the WH turned over PROVES the whistleblower was right; the FIRST HAND evidence PROVES the "second-hand" evidence is ACCURATE.

17. +1, and pointing away from the transcripts ... that's all they have

18. Amash is a smart guy

I don't like his libertarian style politics, but at least he's smart and generally honest.
