Kevin McCarthy Demands Democrats Investigate Afghanistan Instead Of Him


House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy demanded that Democrats investigate Afghanistan instead of the 1/6 Capitol attack.

Kevin McCarthy has shifted, and is now trying to blame Rep. Adam Schiff for Afghanistan, " Why didn't we know of what was happening on the ground? Why didn't Adam Schiff have those hearings?" https://t.co/paTo3tVrry

McCarthy said on Fox News’s Sunday Morning Futures:

Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats, they have taken the Intel Committee that are supposed to be the eyes and ears of looking around the world to keep America safe and created Adam Schiff with a political committee, they spent their time impeaching the president.

We are a co-equal branch of government. Why didn’t we know of what was happening on the ground? Why didn’t Adam Schiff have those hearings? Devin Nunes had wash warned us and told me many times before, and now at this time when they have an open border, when they have caught people on the terror watch already this year, that they have the Homeland Security Chairman investigating members of Congress and the chairman of the Intel Committee? That’s their focus instead of focusing on protecting all of America and the homeland. That’s what they should be working on.


Kevin McCarthy: Investigate Afghanistan Instead Of Me

McCarthy’s attempt to hide behind Afghanistan was pathetic. The good news for the American people is that the House can both investigate Afghanistan and Kevin McCarthy.

Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy is trying everything to both discredit the 1/6 investigation and avoid being a target of the investigation. For some reason, McCarthy doesn’t want the committee to get his phone records and look at his conversations with Donald Trump.


Thirteen US Marines died, and Kevin McCarthy is trying to hide behind their bodies to cover up the 1/6 investigation.

Unfortunately for them this one has TFG's fingerprints all over it.
Biden inherited an incredible mess there, and made the best of an horrific situation.

All the knuckleheads in my town who hold up signs by the freeway had Ben Ghazi on their lame signs.

They saw a lot of middle fingers.

Trump, aides on tape laugh about Niger ambush that left 4 US soldiers dead

President Donald Trump drew laughs from some of his aides as he joked about what a “rough business” terrorism is while discussing an ambush in Niger that left four U.S. soldiers dead last year, according to a covert recording released Monday.

Trump made the comments during a closed-door meeting at the White House in the wake of the Oct. 4, 2017, attack on the U.S. special forces, who were advising local troops fighting Islamic extremists in the African nation.

Former White House communications aide Omarosa Manigault Newman secretly recorded the conversation and provided a tape of it to MSNBC on Monday afternoon.

Trump dodges his own Benghazi: Pentagon quietly closes investigation into Niger ambush

After a U.S. consulate in Benghazi was attacked and four Americans were murdered in 2012, the Republican-led House of Representatives ordered eight congressional investigations, including a special select committee whose two-year, $7 million probe lasted longer than the main Watergate investigation. But after four American soldiers were ambushed and killed in neighboring Niger five years later, House Republicans opened no such investigations. Nearly two years after the attack, the Pentagon has quietly closed its probe into the incident and declined to discipline any military commanders who ordered the troops into a danger zone with no plan and no backup.

Kevin McCarthy is a skeezy politician with lots of secrets regarding the overthrow of our government.

Which one appears to require investigation?

to find the drumpf moles in the military that told the White House it was safe to start this pullout. As I've said before if Biden had known we'd end up huddled at the airport racing to get plane after plane off the ground he never would have allowed this evac to go the way it has. Someone betrayed him to make him look bad.
