GOP leader accidentally describes Trump kids: 'The only reason you have that job is your father'

Published 1 min ago on March 8, 2020
By David Edwards

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) on Sunday offered a description of former Vice President Joe Biden’s son that also fit President Donald Trump’s children.

“This should not be about politics,” McCarthy said. “Any elected official that uses their office or has their children who uses their office to get economic gain, where you’re getting $50,000 a month — how many Americans don’t make that in a year?”

“And you have no experience whatsoever,” he continued. “And the only reason you have that job is because of your father.”

He was in David Boies' law firm, had a consulting business, and was a board member of AMtrak
Lot's of celebrity board members don't have expertise in the board they are on.

I've mentioned this one before but Depak Chopra was a board member of Men's Warehouse and he isn't a tailor.

Their hypocrisy, their double standards. They have no shame about either of those things. You cannot shame these people.

5. He also described the entire business career of George W. Bush

Bush's track record was a long string of failing upward due to a golden Rolodex and a moderate talent for schmoozing.

He did well for himself, mainly be being the son of the former Chairman of the Republican National Committee, Director of the CIA, Vice President, and President.
