McCarthy: "Integrity matters to me."

Since when?

His explanation for removing Schiff and Swalwell from the Intelligence Committee is their ostensible lack of integrity, referencing some supposedly false information they reported...lied to the "people."

McCarthy has no concept of, or experience with integrity, let alone any room to criticize the integrity of someone else.

landslide. Those are just three of her egregious lies I can think of off the top of my head. But I guess she’s your girl there, Kev, so she gets a seat on the homeland security committee. I’d hate to see Kevin if integrity didn’t matter to him When I see Marje, all I can think of is the way she harassed David Hogg, an 18-year-old who had seen his fellow students shot down in the classroom. Being extremely low class seems to be what all these current Republicans have in common

..Trump's VP choice in '24. Well, maybe it's just a rumor at this point. But the discussion came up on MSNBC.

Another day, another bombshell to rock Republican leadership. On May 17, a report from The Washington Post revealed a notable detail from a conversation between House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy and several other GOP leaders — including House Speaker Paul Ryan — that took place in June of 2016 amid the presidential campaign. The transcript shows McCarthy saying, "There's two people, I think, Putin pays: [Dana] Rohrabacher and Trump." Ryan puts an end to conversation and asks everyone to keep it secret, stating, "What's said in the family stays in the family."

Paul Ryan's spokesman Brendan Buck initially told The Washington Post the exchange "never happened." However, when The Post informed him it "would cite a recording," Buck backpedaled. "This entire year-old exchange was clearly an attempt at humor," he said. "No one believed the majority leader was seriously asserting that Donald Trump or any of our members were being paid by the Russians. What's more, the speaker and leadership team have repeatedly spoken out against Russia's interference in our election, and the House continues to investigate that activity."
