GOP's all-out assault on history continues with McCarthy's absurd Ukraine claim
The Republican Party is waging an all-out assault on history and memory.
While theres justifiable worry about the GOPs attempts to erase factual accounts of history from school textbooks, theres a parallel effort to gaslight and mystify Americans about recent happenings, as well. The GOPs attempt to clean its blood-stained hands after effectively backing then-President Donald Trumps notorious pressure campaign against Ukraine in 2019 is just the latest example of this shameless revisionism.
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., appeared on "Fox News Sunday" and performed what can best be described as a stand-up routine disguised as a sympathetic, pro-Ukraine rant as the country fends off Russias invasion.
This is going to get stronger and rougher, and what really needs to happen is Ukraine is not asking for American men and women to fight; all theyre asking for is the weapons to defend themselves, McCarthy said.
Then he hit us with the punchline: If we would have taken those actions earlier instead of waiting till after Russia invaded, they probably never wouldve invaded, had we done that sooner.
The claims would be laughable if they weren't made in such bad faith.
