Elizabeth Warren probably won't be getting a Christmas card from Kevin McCarthy

[marmar]

Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., ripped House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., as a "liar and a traitor" on Sunday after he discussed calling on former President Donald Trump to resign in a leaked call while defending him publicly. But Republicans don't seem too worried that the leak and McCarthy's false denial that the call occurred will hurt his bid to be the next House speaker.

The New York Times reported last week that McCarthy told House Republican leaders that he would demand Trump's resignation after the deadly Jan. 6 Capitol riot before ultimately caving and defending Trump as he faced his second impeachment. McCarthy called the report "totally false" before a leaked recording of a phone call showed him vowing to Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyoming, then the No. 3 ranked Republican in the caucus, that he would recommend that Trump step down.

"Kevin McCarthy is a liar and a traitor. This is outrageous. And that is really the illness that pervades the Republican leadership right now, that they say one thing to the American public and something else in private," Warren told CNN on Sunday.

"They understand that it is wrong what happened, an attempt to overthrow our government," she said. "And that the Republicans instead want to continue to try to figure out how to make 2020 election different instead of spending their energy on how it is that we go forward in order to build an economy, in order to make this country work better for the people who sent us to Washington. Shame on Kevin McCarthy." .............(more)

2. Keep at it, Senator Warren!

The American public needs to know the truth about the corruption that permeates the Republican Party. Trump, McCarthy and all their minions are rotten to the core.

More of our Democratic representatives at all levels of government need to keep hammering at this issue. I'm hopeful that the televised January 6th Committee hearings will be enlightening, riveting and merciless.

3. Sen. Elizabeth Warren is "not getting in that car!"

Sen. Elizabeth Warren is "not getting in that car!"

Bill board
School girl declining to get in a car with several pictured Republican leaders; a scary possible kidnapping/ assault feeling.
I'd like to see a 'I'm not getting in that car!' ad with Republican bumper-stickers and one saying "Pedophiles feel younger."
(If there are no identifiable faces, the ad might be safe)

4. Worst phrase in the article: "his bid to be the next house speaker"

Someone needs to go back to journalism school.
I have come to hate it when commentators try to play soothsayer, it’s scary that people haven’t advanced much beyond looking to the guys studying goat entrails.
